Why Saint Albans homes get household pests

The rocky loam and glacial till that surrounds Saint Albans is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what household pests need to thrive. The the Green Mountains, valleys, and lakes adds harborage, and the humid continental climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the Lake Champlain, the Connecticut River, and mountain lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.
