How homes here get pests.
Larger lots up in the hills carry rock outcrops, cedar breaks and brush piles. That's scorpion habitat, and it reaches right to the foundation.
Homes cut into the slope often have stepped slabs and retaining walls, and the gaps where rock meets concrete are how scorpions and ants get in.
Weekend and second homes sit closed for long stretches, so mice and wasps settle in quietly. Each visit should start with a quick check of the garage, eaves and boat storage.
