The setting around Dillon does most of the work. The rocky and sandy loam holds the moisture the pests need, the the Rockies, high plains, and river valleys offers shelter, and the semi-arid climate extends the active season. The homes near the the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers and lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

• Clear the leaf litter and the mulch from the foundation.
• Reduce the moisture and fix the drainage issues.
• Keep the grass short and the ground cover thin.
• Seal the gaps around the doors and the foundation.
