Pest control in Greenfield, CA

Pest season in Greenfield

NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the KING CITY, CA station (about 10 miles away) show an average temperature of 60.3°F, about 11.8 inches of precipitation a year spread over roughly 26 days with measurable rain or snow, 27 nights at or below freezing and 39 days reaching 90°F or more. Monthly averages never fall below 50°F (the coldest month averages 50°F), so ants, cockroaches and other insects can stay active outdoors year-round rather than going dormant for winter. Average temperatures are at or above 50°F all year.

Moisture and pests

Greenfield is arid, with only about 11.8 inches of precipitation a year. In dry climates, pests concentrate around sources of water and shade, such as irrigated yards, drains, utility areas and the cooler indoor spaces of a home, especially during the hottest stretches (about 39 days a year reach 90°F).

Homes and pest entry points

The median year built for housing in Greenfield is 1996, and about 17% of its 4,634 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 25% of housing units are in buildings with two or more units, where cockroaches and bed bugs can move between neighboring homes through shared walls and plumbing.
