Why Soddy Daisy

Why Soddy Daisy Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

The mountain boundary supplies wildlife continuously. Walden Ridge forest brings squirrels, raccoons, bats and ticks to the building line, and old mine workings and rock outcrops give sheltered harbourage no treatment reaches. Exclusion at the building is what decides it.

Lake and slope add the rest. Chickamauga coves hold sheltered shallow water for mosquitoes, and hillside houses get groundwater moving toward the walls, keeping crawl spaces damp for carpenter ants and camel crickets. Steady eastern subterranean termite pressure works the same sills.

Common Questions

Soddy Daisy Pest Questions, Answered

Bats in the roof.
A specific case, because bats are protected and exclusion cannot be done while flightless young are present, which rules out most of summer. A one-way exclusion device fitted outside that window, then permanent sealing, is the correct approach.
Wildlife off the mountain.
You cannot reduce a population living on forested slopes, so the work is at the building: mesh over crawl vents, sealed soffit and roof junctions, hardware cloth around decks and sheds, and secured bins. That is where it is settled.
Water pushing toward a hillside wall.
Slope hydrology rather than a plumbing fault. On sloping ground the water heads for the wall, so drainage has to be designed — downspouts discharged well downslope and correct grading above the house. The damp is what carpenter ants track.
Do docks and boathouses need attention?
Worth inspecting. Timber in contact with damp ground or water is the most exposed wood on a lakeside property, and a colony in a dock post is a short move to the house. Check ground contact and splash zones first.
Does the lake mean more mosquitoes?
The coves do, since sheltered shallow water with bank vegetation is good habitat. Even so, a good share of the daytime biting starts in containers on your own lot, so clearing those is still worth the effort.
