Pest season in Huntertown

NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the GARRETT 1 S, IN station (about 9 miles away) show an average temperature of 48.3°F, about 39.5 inches of precipitation a year spread over roughly 81 days with measurable rain or snow, 129 nights at or below freezing and 11 days reaching 90°F or more. Monthly averages are at or above 50°F for 6 months, so insect activity is concentrated in a clear warm season, while 129 freezing nights a year push mice and some insects to look for shelter indoors. Average temperatures are at or above 50°F from about May through October.

Moisture and pests

Around 39.5 inches of precipitation a year is moderate. Moisture problems such as leaky gutters, damp basements and wood touching soil are usually what draws termites, carpenter ants and cockroaches to a particular home.

Homes and pest entry points

The median year built for housing in Huntertown is 2011, and about 11% of its 3,821 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 93% of housing units are single-family detached homes.
