Moisture and pests

With about 17.8 inches of precipitation a year, Guymon is fairly dry. Pests here are often drawn to the water a home provides, such as irrigation, leaks, drains and pet bowls, which is why kitchens, bathrooms and watered landscaping see most of the activity.

Homes and pest entry points

The median year built for housing in Guymon is 1976, and about 58% of its 4,466 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 65% of housing units are single-family detached homes and 13% are mobile homes, whose skirting and crawl spaces are common entry points for rodents and insects.
