Folsom spans more than a century of housing, from the older homes around Historic Sutter Street to the new Folsom Ranch neighborhoods south of Highway 50. Older wood homes near downtown often have crawl spaces where subterranean termites and mice find their way in. Newer homes on former grassland see ants, spiders and the occasional rodent moving in from open land next door, especially in the first years after construction.
Homes close to Folsom Lake and Lake Natoma sit near oak woodland and the American River Parkway, which gives roof rats and yellowjackets plenty of cover. Summer heat drives Argentine ants indoors for water, and the first fall rains bring termite swarms. The technician inspects the house and yard, writes up the treatment and price, and starts only once you agree.
