Redwood Valley is a census-designated place of 1,843 people, formerly called Basil, and it runs warm: a wine-region guide reports about 64 days a year above 90 F. Philo Pest Control connects you with a local technician, and phones are answered 24/7.
Redwood Valley is a census-designated place of 1,843 people at the 2020 census, and it was formerly called Basil. It is the largest of the smaller places on this site after Ukiah, so the research holds a little more on it, though still not much.
Heat sets Redwood Valley apart. A wine-region study guide reports about 64 days a year above 90 F here, against 80 in the Ukiah Valley and 22 at Eagle Peak. Warm, dry weather is the season when ants and other insects move toward water and shelter, so the first questions are about the water around the house.
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 guide's 64 days above 90 F, set against 22 at Eagle Peak, is a sign of how warm the season runs. UC IPM says ants come indoors to escape dry heat and to find water, so the kitchen and bathroom are the first rooms to check when the heat sets in.
Subterranean termites are common throughout California, according to UC IPM, so warmth does not rule them out. The check is the soil contact at the foundation, not the climate.
A travel guide puts coastal summer highs at roughly high 50s to mid 70s F with frequent morning fog, while the inland range runs roughly mid 60s to low 90s F. Redwood Valley is on the inland side of that line.
UC IPM ties dampwood termites to cool, humid coastal areas, which is not what a warm inland house is expected to show. That is a comparison, and a technician still inspects before naming a species.
Note the rooms where ants or wasps appear and whether they come from a wall, the floor or the ground outside. A yellowjacket nest in the ground or in a wall needs describing precisely; UC IPM has a Pest Note on yellowjackets and social wasps.
Give the approximate day the problem began. A date narrows the first look far more than a general description does.
