Pest control in Venice reflects its history. The city was planned in the 1920s, and older homes on the island near Venice Avenue have aging wood where drywood termites settle into attics, trim and window frames.
Venice sits on the Gulf with the Intracoastal Waterway cutting through it. Salt air, humidity and thick coastal plants near Caspersen Beach and the island neighborhoods keep palmetto bugs and ghost ants active all year.
Large retirement communities and many seasonal homes sit east of the island. Homes closed for the summer give roaches and rodents months to settle in, so a check before reopening helps.
