Palm Harbor's proximity to the Gulf Coast and its humid subtropical climate create an ideal habitat for pests to thrive. The consistent warm temperatures and frequent rainfall drive insects and rodents to seek shelter inside homes, making regular pest management a necessity.
Cockroaches: The constant moisture in Palm Harbor draws cockroaches, particularly the large American and Palmetto bugs, indoors. They infiltrate basements, crawl spaces, and even attics, seeking dark, damp areas to breed and forage for food scraps in your kitchen.
Termites: Palm Harbor is in a high-risk zone for termites, specifically subterranean and drywood species that infest properties year-round. These destructive pests silently consume wooden structures, often necessitating professional intervention to prevent extensive, costly damage.
