Blackhawk homes and local pest pressure

Blackhawk is a guard-gated community of large luxury homes and golf courses set directly against Mount Diablo’s wildland and open space, southeast of Danville. The combination of manicured fairways and the raw wildland right behind them makes for intense pressure from ground-dwelling pests. Ground squirrels and gophers work the lush, irrigated fairways, lawns and estate gardens relentlessly, and roof rats, deer and other wildlife come down off the Mount Diablo slopes into the yards and landscaping. The hot, dry summers drive heavy yellowjacket and wasp nesting in the slopes, retaining walls and eaves, which matters all the more around pools, patios and golf play. The big, heavily landscaped estate lots keep rodents, Argentine ants and spiders working toward the houses. It’s about as manicured as the county gets, but sitting right on the wildland boundary means the estates get a constant resupply of burrowing pests, hillside rodents and wildlife no matter how polished the grounds.

The work is high-end estate residential — gopher and ground-squirrel control across lawns and near the fairways, roof-rat and wildlife exclusion on the wildland edge, summer yellowjacket nests around pools and patios, and ant work in the dry season. The Mount Diablo boundary behind the community is always where the pressure originates.
