## Field notes

- Extremes drive calls: several days of triple-digit heat bring ants into bathrooms and kitchens, and the first heavy winter rain brings them inside.
- A callback story: technicians look down at the ground, but a limb touching the gutter carried an ant trail into the attic, and leaf-filled gutters held a colony. A new set of eyes found it.
- Sacramento-area tile roofs (rounded Spanish tile, ridge caps) leave gaps everywhere for wasps, unlike the flat composite shingles common in the Midwest.
- Houses next to lakes and man-made ponds have spiders; homes by the river or backing onto ponds see spiders flourish; houses out by the fields get beetles and roaches.
- Repellent products kill most insects but scatter survivors; non-repellent products spread through a colony by transfer. The two are never mixed.
- California treatment PPE: coveralls or long-sleeve shirt, long trousers, safety glasses, gloves. No masks, no moon suits. County agricultural commissioner staff make unannounced spot checks.
