Why Locust Fork homes get general household pests

The red clay and limestone that surrounds Locust Fork is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what general household pests need to thrive. The rolling hills and Tennessee Valley flatland adds harborage, and the humid subtropical with cooler winters and occasional snow keeps the activity going through most of the year. The older neighborhoods in town have the most mature trees and the most moisture issues, and the newer subdivisions on the outskirts sit on land that was recently pasture or field, which brings its own pest profile.

Prevention tips for Locust Fork homeowners

• Seal entry points. Caulk and steel wool around pipes, doors, windows, and the foundation keep general household pests from finding their way inside. In Locust Fork, the older homes have the most gaps.
• Keep the perimeter dry. Fix downspouts, grade the soil away from the foundation, and clear standing water. The red clay and limestone holds moisture, and dry ground means fewer pests.
• Trim back vegetation. Keep shrubs, trees, and mulch at least 18 inches from the house. The rolling hills and Tennessee Valley flatland of North Alabama means natural harborage is close to every home.
• Store food properly. Keep pantry items in sealed containers, clean crumbs immediately, and take out the trash regularly. This is the single most effective step for indoor pests.
• Schedule regular inspections. An annual pest inspection catches problems before they become infestations. In Blount County, the combination of the humid subtropical with cooler winters and occasional snow and the red clay and limestone means the pressure never truly stops.
