Scotts Valley's forested hillsides and damp, cool climate create unique challenges for homeowners battling pests. The proximity to dense vegetation encourages rodents and insects to seek shelter indoors, especially as temperatures fluctuate, making properties attractive havens.
Cockroaches: Scotts Valley's damp conditions, particularly in shaded areas and near the redwood forests, attract moisture-loving cockroaches. They often infiltrate homes through basements and crawl spaces, seeking consistent humidity and shelter under woodpiles or debris.
Termites: Scotts Valley is a high-risk area for termites, particularly dampwood and subterranean species, which thrive in the moist environment. Homes in wooded areas face persistent threats, necessitating regular inspections to prevent extensive structural damage.
