Norton’s residential areas comprise various housing styles, from long-established homes to more recent constructions. Older properties, often built with traditional basements, can develop foundation vulnerabilities over time, creating easy access points for pests. Newer homes, while generally more sealed, are not immune; minor construction gaps or inadequate weather stripping can still allow unwelcome invaders.
In Norton, German cockroaches frequently infest kitchens and bathrooms, hiding in cracks near appliances and under sinks. Larger American cockroaches often enter homes from sewers or crawl spaces, especially during periods of heavy rain or temperature extremes, seeking refuge indoors.
Norton homes are highly susceptible to Eastern Subterranean Termites, a significant concern across Ohio. These pests exploit moisture-damaged wood, foundation cracks, or even direct soil-to-wood contact to build mud tubes and silently compromise a home's structural integrity.
