Live Oak's warm, humid climate and proximity to the Suwannee River create an ideal environment for pests to thrive. These conditions mean insects and rodents constantly seek shelter and moisture inside your property, demanding consistent vigilance.
Cockroaches: Because of Live Oak's high humidity, cockroaches, particularly American and German species, actively seek water and dark, damp harborage. They infiltrate homes through utility penetrations, drain pipes, and foundation cracks, especially during the rainy season.
Termites: Live Oak experiences a high risk for termite infestations. The continuous warmth and moisture in the soil allow subterranean termites to remain active year-round, constantly threatening wooden structures. They cause significant damage before homeowners even notice their presence.
