Homes and pest entry points

The median year built for housing in Deming is 1977, and about 57% of its 6,939 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 59% of housing units are single-family detached homes and 21% are mobile homes, whose skirting and crawl spaces are common entry points for rodents and insects.
