Holly Hill, with its blend of older homes and proximity to the Halifax River, experiences a heightened level of pest activity. The area’s hot, humid climate and abundant moisture create perfect conditions for pests to thrive, forcing them indoors to seek shelter and sustenance from persistent outdoor pressures.
Cockroaches: The older infrastructure in Holly Hill, including aging plumbing and sewer systems, provides ample harborage for cockroaches. They readily infest kitchens and bathrooms, seeking leaky pipes and food residue, leading to rapid population explosions.
Termites: Holly Hill is highly susceptible to termite infestations. The warm, moist soil allows subterranean termites to forage continuously, silently consuming wood from within homes and commercial buildings, often leading to significant, costly repairs.
