Termite & Pest Control in Carmichael

Big trees, big lots, older homes

Carmichael has some of the most wooded residential streets in the county. Neighborhoods near Ancil Hoffman Park, Jan Drive, Arden Way and the bluffs above the American River have large lots, tall oaks and homes built from the 1940s through the 1970s, including many mid-century ranch houses with wood siding, exposed beams and raised floors. Closer to Fair Oaks Boulevard and Manzanita Avenue there are older apartments and smaller homes.

Mature trees and older wood structures are why Carmichael calls lean toward roof rats, drywood termites and wood decay.

Local pest pressure in Carmichael

• Roof rats in the canopy. Oaks and overhanging branches give rats a direct path to the roof and attic.
• Drywood termites in mid-century wood. Exposed beams, wood siding and attic framing are common colony sites.
• Dry rot under the trees. Shade and leaf litter keep fascia, decks and gutters damp.
• Escrow WDO reports. Older homes changing hands often come with Section 1 and Section 2 findings.
