The traditionally larger and wooded lots mean you aren’t the only one looking for your own oasis in the woods. Ants, termites, and spiders are especially common in Chesterfield – including the poisonous Brown Recluse.
The Brown Recluse, an infamous Chesterfield pest, is attracted to the rotting tree bark on your property. The wooded lots not only offer an ideal habitat, but also close proximity to plenty of prey similarly attracted to nearby trees and brush. When the weather turns cold, these pests then find their way in to climate controlled homes, settling in cardboard, shoes, dressers, stacked clothes, baseboards, and toilets.
