Pest season in Grandview

Only 5 months average 50°F or more, so the outdoor insect season is short, and the long cold season (about 124 freezing nights a year) is when mice and overwintering insects most often move into buildings. Average temperatures are at or above 50°F from about May through September.

Homes and pest entry points

The median year built for housing in Grandview is 1977, and about 57% of its 3,609 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 66% of housing units are single-family detached homes and 17% are mobile homes, whose skirting and crawl spaces are common entry points for rodents and insects.
