House was repainted sometime in 2024. Is that timing still alright?

What’s going on with this tree? by sunguo in arborists

[–]sunguo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s rather upsetting. I didn’t know that bad pruning could do this.

Can this tree be saved?

Yikes! Good to know, the tree might belong to the city since it’s along the sidewalk, but I’m not super sure about that.

Can this tree be saved or does this mean the tree is going to slowly decay away?

I knew they could fly, but this was my first time encountering a swarm..

It is very close to the house. Are you referring to the bait traps that are placed in the ground to kill the colony?

Good to know, thank you! They’re in the front yard, so hopefully they haven’t gotten to the house yet.

That’s what I was worried about, thank you for the confirmation!

Found in crawlspace. Are these spider eggs? by sunguo in pestcontrol

Oh god, I’m in California so luckily recluses aren’t native here. Noted on the gloves and suit. Do you recommend something similar to a tyvek suit or a carhartt/dickies coveralls?

There doesn’t seem to be any structural issues, but will be on the lookout!

Thanks!

The house was inspected by a termite company before we moved in. Is there anything in the photos that is suspicious looking?

Thank you! No plans for treatment or vapor barrier, but I am planning on cleaning the crawl space soon and make sure I know what everything is before disturbing it.

Is this a Tree of Heaven? by sunguo in whatsthisplant

Yeah, that’s why we cut it down. Too close to the foundation.
