Margate's warm, humid climate and suburban density provide an ideal environment for various pests to thrive. The consistent temperatures mean pests remain active throughout the year, constantly seeking entry into homes and businesses for food, water, and shelter.
Cockroaches: Margate residents frequently battle American and German cockroaches. The consistent warmth and humidity draw these resilient pests indoors, where they infest kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas. They often enter through drains, utility penetrations, or even groceries, spreading bacteria and triggering allergies.
Termites: Margate experiences an extremely high risk from termites, with both subterranean and drywood species posing significant threats. Subterranean termites flourish in the moist South Florida soil, building elaborate mud tubes to reach wood. Drywood termites also invade exposed wood, causing silent damage that often goes unnoticed until extensive.
