Point Pleasant features a blend of historic homes and newer construction, often built near the coast. Older structures, with their basements, wooden frames, and often exposed foundations, offer numerous vulnerabilities to moisture-seeking pests and rodents. Newer builds, while more sealed, still face unique challenges from coastal environments, where high humidity and proximity to natural habitats can push pests indoors through any unsealed gaps or utility penetrations.
Cockroaches thrive in Point Pleasant's coastal environment, where humidity is higher. American cockroaches often emerge from sewer systems or damp crawl spaces, infiltrating homes through drains or gaps. German cockroaches establish themselves in kitchens and bathrooms, rapidly reproducing in hidden crevices near food and moisture sources.
Termites present a serious, ongoing threat to Point Pleasant properties. Subterranean termites are rampant across New Jersey, tunneling through soil to access and consume wooden structures. Homes with wood-to-soil contact, excessive moisture, or untreated foundations are highly vulnerable, often sustaining damage for years before homeowners detect any signs.
