Mount Hermon homes and local pest pressure

Mount Hermon is a wooded community near Felton built around a long-running conference and retreat center, so it mixes forest homes with lodging, dining halls and meeting buildings all tucked in the redwoods. The dense forest and damp, shaded ground set the pest pattern. Roof rats and wood rats travel the canopy and woodpiles into attics and crawlspaces, and raccoons, skunks and squirrels den under buildings and decks with the forest right at the walls. The humid, shaded rooms keep Argentine ants and silverfish active inside. The older wood buildings and cabins sitting in moist ground draw dampwood, subterranean and drywood termites into aging beams, posts and subfloors. What sets Mount Hermon apart from the pure residential valley towns is the lodging and food service: the cabins, dining halls and meeting spaces that host guests need documented, steady programs to keep rodents and insects out of kitchens and sleeping quarters, so the work here is part residential and part light commercial.

Pest control around Mount Hermon

We reach Mount Hermon over Highway 17 to Mount Hermon Road, working it with Felton right alongside, Scotts Valley over the ridge, Ben Lomond and Brookdale up the valley, and Santa Cruz down the hill. The jobs run from forest homes with rats in the attic or wildlife under a deck, to termite inspections on old wood, to the conference center lodging and kitchens that need a documented program. Lots and buildings here back onto forest with crawlspaces and decks on slopes, so our work centers on crawling each structure and sealing the many gaps a rat or raccoon can use.
