Anacostia’s position near the river and its mix of older homes and green spaces create unique challenges for pest management. The region's hot, humid summers and mild winters mean pests reproduce rapidly and seek indoor refuge throughout the year.
Cockroaches: Anacostia’s humid conditions compel cockroaches, particularly American and German species, to seek shelter inside. They infiltrate homes through sewer lines, foundation cracks, and poorly sealed entry points, thriving in damp basements and kitchens.
Termites: Anacostia properties face a high risk from subterranean termites, which remain active year-round in D.C.’s climate. These pests silently erode wooden structures, necessitating vigilant inspections to prevent extensive and expensive damage.
