Key West's unique tropical climate, characterized by relentless heat, high humidity, and older wooden structures, creates an unparalleled environment for pests. These conditions drive insects and rodents into homes seeking consistent refuge, making robust pest control essential.
Cockroaches: Key West's humid conditions and abundance of historic buildings mean roaches consistently infiltrate properties. They seek out damp, dark spaces, flourishing in kitchens and utility areas, quickly becoming a persistent nuisance.
Termites: Key West homeowners face an extremely high termite risk. Both subterranean termites, thriving in the island’s moist, sandy soil, and drywood termites, infesting historical wooden structures, actively erode property values and safety.
