Citrus Ridge, nestled within Central Florida's warm and humid climate, offers a constant invitation for pests. The consistent high temperatures and abundant moisture allow insect and rodent populations to thrive without interruption throughout the year. This environment means homeowners must remain vigilant, as pests aggressively seek refuge and resources inside their properties.
Cockroaches: Citrus Ridge's humid conditions and frequent rain drive cockroaches, particularly the large Palmetto bugs (American cockroaches), indoors seeking drier shelter and water sources. These resilient pests quickly establish hidden colonies in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas, contaminating surfaces and exacerbating indoor allergens. They infiltrate through tiny gaps in foundations and around plumbing.
Termites: Citrus Ridge faces an extremely high risk for termite infestations due to Florida's consistently warm, moist soil and year-round activity. Both subterranean and drywood termites relentlessly attack structures, silently consuming wooden elements. Subterranean termites construct tell-tale mud tubes to access wood, while drywood termites infest directly, often requiring advanced detection to identify colonies before extensive damage occurs.
