It's not bad luck — it's your zip code. Witter sits in a four-season humid subtropical climate, with elevation in the surrounding foothills keeping winters a bit colder than the Delta. A mix of long-established homes near the town core and newer construction spreading into the surrounding foothills. That's exactly what carpenter ants, ticks, spiders, rodents, stink bugs, centipedes, and subterranean termites need to get inside. Waiting won't fix it. It just gives them more time to spread.
A one-size-fits-all spray doesn't cut it here. Older river-valley homes sit alongside newer construction expanding into the wooded foothills, and basements are notably more common than in the Delta. So before we write a treatment plan, we inspect first. Water, tree cover, open land, building age — it all factors in. You get a real diagnosis, not a guess.
