West Melbourne's proximity to the coast and consistent warm, humid climate create an ideal environment for various pests. These conditions ensure insects and rodents remain active year-round, constantly seeking refuge and resources inside homes and businesses.
Cockroaches: West Melbourne's high humidity and subtropical temperatures foster thriving cockroach populations. American and German cockroaches aggressively invade structures through small cracks, pipe penetrations, and even gaps around window frames, rapidly contaminating food and surfaces. Their presence often signals an underlying moisture problem.
Termites: West Melbourne falls squarely in Florida's high-risk termite zone. Subterranean termites actively forage through the soil year-round, silently consuming wood structures from the ground up. Drywood termites also pose a threat, infesting wood directly without soil contact. Both types inflict costly damage if left unchecked.
Common Questions
How often should I get pest control in Florida?
Due to Florida's year-round warm and humid climate, pests remain active continuously. We typically recommend quarterly preventative treatments to maintain a pest-free environment. However, specific situations might require more frequent service.
What kind of termites are common in Florida?
Florida faces a significant threat from both Subterranean Termites (including the highly destructive Formosan variety) and Drywood Termites. Subterranean termites require soil contact, while Drywood termites can infest any wood structure directly.
