Reading this window: mid-October is a seasonal lull, and the board shows it. Ants are the one active signal, nudged up by heavy rain on Oct 11 driving them indoors, and strongest in Vancouver and Portland. For a pest operator this week, that means: weight ant and general-pest content and ad budget toward Vancouver and Portland, and hold spend elsewhere. Rodent season is just ahead.
Why it's trustworthy
The model reproduces the real pest calendar
Run against 7+ years of real Vancouver/Camas weather, average pressure by month lands exactly where it should, no tuning to the result. This is the proof the forecast is signal, not guesswork.

Read the diagonal of seasons: mosquitoes and ants peak in summer, yellowjackets in August, termite swarms in spring, and rodents invert to a winter peak. The model also spiked to 93/100 for rodents on the single coldest day of the last two years, the real January 2024 arctic blast. Weather alone, predicting the right pest at the right time.

About this demo. This is a real-data snapshot: BugCast scored actual Vancouver-area weather through October 13, 2025.
