Washington D.C.'s humid summers and mild winters create a persistent challenge for homeowners, and Petworth is no exception. The neighborhood's dense urban environment, coupled with its mature row houses and tree-lined streets, provides perfect conditions for various pests to thrive year-round, seeking shelter and resources within residential properties.
Cockroaches: High humidity levels in Petworth drive roaches, especially German and American cockroaches, directly into homes. They infiltrate kitchens and bathrooms, seeking consistent moisture and readily available food scraps in tight crevices and behind appliances, making thorough sanitation crucial.
Termites: Petworth experiences a significant risk from subterranean termites. These pests silently erode wooden structures, exploiting the region's consistent moisture and soil temperatures which allow colonies to remain active and destructive throughout the year.
