The local picture
A small city in farm country
Highland is surrounded by cropland, and that sets the fall rodent calendar: as harvest wraps up, field mice move into homes, garages and outbuildings. Brushy field margins and woodlots hold ticks through the warm months, and wildlife like raccoons, opossums and groundhogs move between the fields and town.
Older homes around the town center bring termites, carpenter ants and the gaps that let mice in, while newer subdivisions bring landscaping-driven ants and spiders. Properties near Silver Lake on the edge of town see more mosquitoes in summer.

Trapping clears the current ones and sealing garage corners and foundation gaps stops next year's.
