Carmichael is known for large lots, tall oaks and homes built from the 1940s through the 1970s. That mix is ideal for roof rats, which travel along oak limbs and power lines and nest in attics. Older wood homes with crawl spaces and wood siding near the soil are also prime spots for subterranean termites and dry rot.
The American River Parkway along the city's south edge, with Ancil Hoffman Park and Effie Yeaw Nature Center, keeps wildlife close to backyards. Yellowjackets nest in lawns and under decks in late summer, and Argentine ants come indoors in the dry months. The technician inspects the home and yard, writes up the treatment and price, and returns if the job needs it.
