Why Central homes get pests
Central is an incorporated city of semi-rural lots — larger wooded parcels with homes set back from the road, threaded by Greenwell Springs Road and Sullivan Road and neighborhoods like Central proper, Greenwell Springs edge, Sullivan Road corridor. That combination sets the local pest pattern.
Wooded lots are termite habitat: Formosan colonies live in the trees and stumps around homes and expand into structures from there.
Rodents nest in outbuildings and woodpiles across the bigger lots, and wasps build in the eaves and barns that semi-rural properties accumulate.
🔎 Signs to act on in Central
- Termites: mud tubes on the foundation, swarmers after warm rain, wings on windowsills.
- Rodents: droppings in the garage or attic, scratching at night, gnawed packaging.
- Roaches: daytime sightings (a sign of real numbers), droppings like pepper flakes in cabinets.
- Bed bugs: bites after sleeping, dark spots on mattress seams, bugs in sofa crevices.
- Don't wait it out. Every one of these problems is smaller this week than next month.
