Pest control in Stuart revolves around the water. The St. Lucie River wraps the city on several sides, and riverfront and canal homes stay damp and shady, which keeps palmetto bugs and roof rats close.
Downtown Stuart has older wood homes and buildings near the Riverwalk. Drywood termites are common on the Treasure Coast, and they turn up in attic wood, trim and older furniture. Subterranean termites also reach slab homes across town.
Homes on Hutchinson Island face the Atlantic, with salt air and wind-driven rain. Condo buildings there can share pest problems between units, so German roaches and ants in one unit often show up next door.
