Around 40.8 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 Glenn Heights is 2004, and about 11% of its 6,073 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 75% of housing units are single-family detached homes and 14% are mobile homes, whose skirting and crawl spaces are common entry points for rodents and insects.
