Pest control in Bella Vista, AR

Pest season in Bella Vista

NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the BENTONVILLE 4 S, AR station (about 10 miles away) show an average temperature of 57.3°F, about 47.3 inches of precipitation a year spread over roughly 70 days with measurable rain or snow, 101 nights at or below freezing and 46 days reaching 90°F or more. Monthly averages are at or above 50°F for 7 months, so insect activity is concentrated in a clear warm season, while 101 freezing nights a year push mice and some insects to look for shelter indoors. Average temperatures are at or above 50°F from about April through October.

Moisture and pests

At about 47.3 inches a year, Bella Vista is wet by national standards. Damp soil, gutters and crawl spaces favor subterranean termites, mosquitoes breeding in standing water, and moisture-loving pests such as cockroaches, silverfish and carpenter ants in water-damaged wood.

Homes and pest entry points

The median year built for housing in Bella Vista is 1996, and about 20% of its 14,514 housing units were built before 1980. Much of the housing is relatively new, which usually means tighter construction, but new building disturbs soil and nests, and landscaping close to the foundation can still bring ants, spiders and termites toward the home. About 91% of housing units are single-family detached homes.
