West Gate's consistent warm temperatures and urban-adjacent environment create an ideal breeding ground for common household pests. These conditions allow insects and rodents to remain active year-round, constantly seeking entry into residential and commercial properties.
Cockroaches: The dense residential areas of West Gate, combined with Florida's humidity, foster thriving cockroach populations. American and German cockroaches readily invade structures through sewer lines, cracks in foundations, and under doors, actively seeking food, water, and shelter. They quickly spread unsanitary conditions.
Termites: West Gate, like much of South Florida, faces a significant threat from termites. Subterranean termites, especially, actively forage through the soil year-round, silently damaging wood structures from the foundation up. These destructive pests can compromise your home's integrity before visible signs even appear.
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.
