Pest & WDO Inspection in Audubon Park, Kentucky

- Signs of carpenter ant frass and activity — the sawdust-like material and the trails in the wood.

- Rodent droppings and nesting — the activity signs in the attic and the crawl space.
- Visible pest activity across the property — the general pest pressure documented in the report.
Why Audubon Park homes get pests and wood-destroying organisms
The limestone-based clay that surrounds Audubon Park is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what pests and wood-destroying organisms need to thrive. The the Bluegrass, the Pennyroyal, and the Appalachians adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Ohio and Kentucky rivers and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
