What the housing means for pests
Middle-aged houses, expired protection. With a median build year of 1997 for the Census place, most houses here are past the point where construction-era termite protection can be relied on. Either the house has been under a termite contract since, or it has nothing.
Shared walls carry roaches and bed bugs. Close to half the homes are townhouses, condos or apartments. German roaches and bed bugs move between units through walls, plumbing and shared spaces, so a provider will ask about the neighbors. Small roaches in the kitchen · Bites after sleeping
Mature landscaping. Thirty years of oaks, palms and hedges bring roof rats onto roofs and palmetto bugs into mulch beds along the walls. Rats · Palmetto bugs
