Common issues in Coral Gables homes

Much housing in Coral Gables dates to the 1960s, which presents unique pest challenges as older structures may have cracks and entry points for pests. The area’s exposure to damaging wind and hail events also contributes to openings where pests can enter. Moisture intrusion after storms can attract termites and rodents, especially in established neighborhoods with mature landscaping.

• Termite activity. Older wooden homes in Coral Gables are especially vulnerable to termite infestation due to aging construction materials.
• Rodent entry. Gaps and cracks in older walls and foundations often allow rodents to enter homes and businesses.
• Ant colonies. Warm climate and mature landscaping encourage ant colonies to establish in and around structures.
• Roach problems. Roaches find shelter in older buildings with moisture and food sources, requiring ongoing control.
• Mosquito breeding. Standing water from frequent rain and irrigation supports mosquito populations near residential properties.
