⫸ Wildlife & Insects (Rural Area)
This is a rural, mountain area and a native habitat for many animals and insects. These include deer, quail, 21 wild turkeys, coyotes, bobcats, mice, snakes, spiders, etc. Be mindful of your surroundings and do not allow pets off leash outside at any time (especially at night). Always supervise children on the property. Use caution when driving to/from the house at night in order to avoid the numerous deer in the area. We conduct regular pest control and inspections, but can't guarantee you won't see the occasional insect inside. We try to keep them out, but they're persistent "buggers" :-). We're located in a dry, high desert environment and dust is a part of that. We are meticulous about our cleaning, but can't guarantee you won't see some dust inside; especially in summer.
