Colusa, located in the Sacramento Valley and bordered by the Sacramento River, experiences a unique blend of agricultural and riparian influences. Its hot, dry summers and cool, foggy winters create ideal conditions for pests. The proximity to fields and the river means pests constantly seek shelter and moisture inside homes and businesses.
Cockroaches: The agricultural landscape and river moisture in Colusa attract several cockroach species. Oriental and American cockroaches often migrate from outdoor harborage into homes, seeking water and food in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. They thrive in damp, dark environments, rapidly establishing large colonies.
Termites: Colusa's location in the Sacramento Valley places it in a high-risk area for termites. Subterranean termites are highly active in the local soil, constructing distinctive mud tubes to access and consume wooden structures. Drywood termites also threaten properties, infesting dry wood within walls and furniture, often causing significant damage before detection.
