Pest pressure in Phelps Grove

Older pier-and-beam and crawl-space foundations let subterranean termites reach sill plates, especially where mulch and leaf litter stay damp against the base of the house.
Brown recluse spiders are common in attics, basements, and detached garages of homes built before 1950.
The park and street trees drop heavy leaf litter each fall, and ticks stay active in shaded yard edges through summer.
