Termite & Pest Control in Placerville

Hangtown homes and hillside properties

Placerville, the old Hangtown of the Gold Rush, has a historic Main Street lined with 1800s buildings and older homes on the steep streets around it. Outside downtown, homes sit on hillside and wooded lots along Highway 50 and the roads to Diamond Springs, Pollock Pines and Camino, often with decks, sheds and long stretches of wood fencing. Apple Hill orchards and vineyards are close by.

Older wood, wet foothill winters and lots of surrounding trees keep termite, fungus and rodent work steady.

Local pest pressure in Placerville

• Rodents from orchards and woods. Fruit and dense cover bring rats and mice close to homes.
• Wood decay on hillside decks. Rain and shade keep deck framing damp.
• Termites in older downtown buildings. Historic wood framing has seen decades of exposure.
• Spiders in sheds and woodpiles. Firewood is common on foothill properties.
