PETALUMA — Host, Sarah Rutan: Few homeowners realize that moist conditions beneath the home can lead to pest issues. Today we’re in Petaluma with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Richard Estrada of ATCO Pest Control to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Richard Estrada: Throughout the course of the year, we recommend that you have a professional take a look under your home. If there’s standing water or moisture issues, these can create pest issues, such as subterranean termites. Or it can lead to surface decaying fungus forming on wood below your home. So, it’s just a good idea to take a periodic look and make sure that there’s no standing water. If there is, look for ways in which this can be removed or covered by means of a vapor barrier.
