The the Rockies, high plains, and river valleys adds harborage, and the semi-arid climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
