Greenville experiences a humid subtropical climate, characterized by hot, muggy summers and mild winters. This seasonal variability, combined with consistent rainfall, creates a dynamic environment where pests constantly adapt. As outdoor conditions shift, insects and rodents actively seek refuge indoors, transforming your home into an attractive sanctuary from extreme heat or sudden cold snaps.
Cockroaches: Greenville's humid summers and accessible food sources attract various cockroach species, notably the German cockroach and the American cockroach. These pests infiltrate homes through foundation cracks, gaps around utility lines, and even hitchhike on groceries. They establish themselves in dark, moist areas like under sinks or behind appliances, rapidly breeding and contaminating food preparation areas.
Termites: Greenville falls within a moderate to high-risk zone for termites, primarily subterranean termites. The mild winters allow these destructive pests to remain active year-round, silently tunneling through the soil to find wood sources. Homes with moisture issues, wood-to-ground contact, or damp crawl spaces are particularly vulnerable to these silent destroyers, often necessitating immediate professional intervention.
