Dixon’s housing stock features a range from well-established, older properties to more recent constructions, many equipped with basements. Older homes often present more numerous entry points due to aging foundations and utilities. However, even newer builds can harbor vulnerabilities in their foundations or around plumbing, allowing pests to infiltrate readily.
German cockroaches and American cockroaches commonly infest Dixon homes, particularly those with older plumbing systems or humid basements. They exploit small crevices around pipes and under sinks, seeking moisture and food particles. Quick intervention prevents widespread infestations.
Dixon is in a moderate to high risk zone for subterranean termites. These destructive pests exploit any weakness in a home's foundation, including hairline cracks or areas where wood siding meets the soil. Regular professional inspections are crucial to prevent costly structural damage.
Common Questions
How do Dixon's older homes make them more susceptible to termite infestations?
Older homes in Dixon often have foundations that have settled, creating small cracks. They may also have original wood construction more susceptible to moisture damage, and older plumbing systems that provide consistent moisture, all of which attract termites.
