What bee removal looks like in North Highlands, CA
North Highlands is defined by the former McClellan Air Force Base (now McClellan Park), and the community's housing stock reflects that history. Substantial portions of the residential inventory are 1950s–1960s military-era wood-frame homes with shared construction patterns and aging weather seals — exactly the conditions that produce established wall and attic colonies. Post-base-closure development has added newer stucco infill, particularly near the Elkhorn Boulevard and Watt Avenue corridors. The tree canopy is limited compared to Carmichael or Fair Oaks, with mostly ornamental liquidambar and ash in residential areas, and forage is concentrated on private gardens and the remnant landscaping at McClellan Park's repurposed grounds.
