Jennings Lodge benefits from abundant natural beauty, including densely wooded areas and proximity to the Willamette River. However, this lush environment also creates prime conditions for pests. Mature trees provide shelter, while the river's moisture attracts various insects and rodents, pushing them towards residential structures when resources become scarce or weather changes.
Cockroaches: The moist, shaded conditions typical of Jennings Lodge's wooded lots and river proximity create an ideal habitat for cockroaches. Specifically, the Oriental cockroach thrives in these damp environments, frequently infiltrating homes through sewer systems, floor drains, and foundation cracks. Residents often find these robust pests:
- In basements or crawl spaces
- Near pipes and water heaters
- Around outdoor compost piles or trash bins
Termites: With its high moisture levels and numerous mature trees, Jennings Lodge faces a significant risk from both subterranean and dampwood termites. Subterranean termites require soil contact and constant moisture, which is prevalent in this area. Dampwood termites, on the other hand, infest decaying or water-damaged wood directly. Both species silently erode wooden structures, making regular, professional inspections crucial for early detection and prevention.
