Hopland is a census-designated place of 661 people at the 2020 census, formerly called Sanel. The UC Hopland Research and Extension Center, a 5,300-acre oak woodland and grassland site, is the reason its name appears in pest research. The research notes call it the main source of local tick data for the county.
Oak woodland and grassland are the setting that matters here. A house on the edge of oak country can have wildlife and ticks move between the trees and the yard, and the county's tick guidance applies to that kind of land. The research does not say which animals are present, so this page does not name any.
Mendocino County has two climates: a cool, foggy coast and hot, dry inland valleys, and today's reading on the Philo side of the county is only a guide to which pests are moving.
The UC site covers 5,300 acres of oak woodland and grassland. A study of Mendocino oak woodlands found nymph infection typically at 5 to 10 percent, ranging from under 1 to 41 percent. That is a finding for the woodland habitat, not a count for any Hopland house.
Because the research notes name the center as the main local source for tick data, a caller who wants the local picture should be pointed to the county's tick guidance.
The county's guidance says adult western blacklegged ticks are most active late fall through spring, and nymphs from spring to early summer. The western blacklegged tick carries the Lyme bacterium.
Mendocino County residents can have a tick identified or tested at the Solano or Sonoma County public health labs. Keep the tick sealed and note the date and the spot on the property where it was found.
Clear leaf litter and brush from the foundation line, and keep woodpiles away from the walls. UC IPM says Norway rats burrow along foundations and woodpiles, and roof rats nest in shrubs and trees.
Tell the technician whether the house meets brush or woodland directly, since that decides where the first look goes.
Write down where the first sighting was and whether it was indoors or on the lot. A sighting near the research center's side of the property is worth describing exactly.
The research gives no travel time, and the price is confirmed on site before any work begins.
