Pests we treat around Scotts Valley
Pests in Scotts Valley
What we deal with most around Scotts Valley, CA
Lots of rain and wooded surroundings favor pests that love moisture. Carpenter ants excavate damp wood in decks, fence posts and roof edges, and termites can threaten framing wherever water collects near a foundation. Spiders build in eaves and crawl spaces, and wasps nest in sheltered corners and wall gaps. Cockroaches can move into damp kitchens and bathrooms.
Trees also help rodents reach roofs, and rain and cold push mice and rats toward attics and garages. Ticks are a real concern for people and pets who spend time near open space or brush, and mosquitoes breed in shaded gutters and planters. Keeping leaves cleared, wood stored away from the house and branches trimmed back reduces the pressure considerably.
Weather and pests
How Scotts Valley's weather affects pest activity
Scotts Valley is wet in winter and warm in summer. The numbers below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so use them as a guide, not a forecast. July highs average about 88 degrees and January lows about 37. The year includes roughly 54 days at 90 degrees or higher and about 37 nights at or below freezing. August is typically the warmest month, December the coldest.
Annual precipitation is about 50 inches, and December is the wettest month at around 10 inches. Snow is not a meaningful part of the picture. Months of heavy rain leave wood soaked and send rodents and ants indoors, while the warm, drier summer brings wasps, mosquitoes and outdoor ants back into focus.
A workable calendar starts in fall with clearing gutters, sealing gaps and stacking firewood away from the house. Through winter, look for signs of rodents in attics and garages, and watch for soft or stained wood. In spring, treat the exterior as ants become active, and in summer, watch for standing water, wasp nests and ticks after outdoor time. We can tailor that plan to your property.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Scotts Valley
Ant treatment in Scotts Valley
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Scotts Valley, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Scotts Valley
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Scotts Valley buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Scotts Valley
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Scotts Valley home is built.
Cockroach control in Scotts Valley
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Scotts Valley apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Scotts Valley
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Scotts Valley
Scotts Valley's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
