Paradise, nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, experiences distinct seasons that significantly influence pest behavior. Hot, dry summers drive pests indoors seeking moisture, while cool, wet winters force them to find warmth and shelter. Furthermore, the ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts can disrupt natural habitats, pushing displaced pests into newly constructed or renovated homes.
Cockroaches: During Paradise's hot, dry summers, cockroaches aggressively seek water, infiltrating homes through drains, cracks, and open windows. As temperatures drop in winter, they seek warmth indoors, congregating in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Identifying and sealing entry points becomes crucial for effective management.
Termites: Paradise faces a moderate to high risk from termites, particularly subterranean species. The moist soil conditions in certain areas, combined with abundant wood sources from trees and structures, create favorable conditions. Termites exploit any structural weakness or wood-to-soil contact, silently eroding property value. Post-fire conditions can also expose new wood to attack.
