The Wharf, a dynamic and high-density area along the Potomac River, faces intensified pest pressures due to its waterfront location, numerous food establishments, and a constant flow of human activity. D.C.'s humid climate further exacerbates these challenges, providing ideal conditions for various pests to thrive and invade properties.
Cockroaches: The Wharf's combination of waterfront humidity and abundant food sources from restaurants and residences creates a significant draw for cockroaches. German and American cockroaches exploit shared utility spaces and building cracks, seeking warmth, moisture, and food.
Termites: The Wharf is a high-risk zone for subterranean termites. The consistent soil moisture, influenced by the nearby river, and favorable temperatures in D.C. enable these destructive pests to maintain active colonies year-round, silently damaging wooden structural elements.
