Pest season in Woodhaven

Monthly averages are at or above 50°F for 6 months, so insect activity is concentrated in a clear warm season, while 120 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 34.3 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 Woodhaven is 1979, and about 55% of its 5,400 housing units were built before 1980. Homes from this era often have settled foundations, aging weatherstripping and wood trim that can let pests in, and many have crawl spaces or basements worth checking for moisture. About 29% 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.
