Why Airway Heights

Why Airway Heights Homes Get Hit Harder Than Most

Shallow rock changes how buildings sit on the ground. There is very little depth to work with, so services run close to the surface, foundations are set on or into basalt, and the gaps and voids that leaves at the base of a building are hard to seal in a way that stays sealed through a hard freeze and thaw.

Turnover drives the indoor problems. With base postings and rental housing moving people through on short cycles, bed bugs and cockroaches travel between properties on furniture and bedding at a rate that a settled neighbourhood simply does not produce.

Common Questions

Airway Heights Pest Questions, Answered

Bed bugs in a rental we just took.
Common where housing turns over this quickly. They survive between tenancies in a frame joint, a headboard or an outlet box and start on whoever arrives next. Report it in writing on day one, and get the neighbouring units checked rather than only your own.
Gaps keep opening at the bottom of the wall.
Freeze and thaw on shallow ground over rock moves things every year, so a seal that worked last autumn can be open by April. It is worth walking the base of the building each spring rather than assuming last year’s work is still doing its job.
Mice arrive suddenly in October.
The plateau cools fast and there is very little natural shelter out here, so the move is abrupt rather than gradual. Sealing in September rather than reacting in November is the single most useful thing.
Yellow jackets in the ground everywhere.
Dry, well-drained scabland soil is close to ideal for them, and colonies are at their largest and most defensive in late summer. Treat after dark when the whole colony is home, and mark the entrance in daylight first.
Second-hand furniture — is it risky?
It is the most common way both bed bugs and cockroaches move between homes here. Inspect seams, joints and the underside before anything comes indoors, and never take upholstered items left at the kerb.
