Pest control in New Port Richey often means older homes. Much of the city was built in the mid 1900s, and older slab and frame homes have more cracks, gaps and aging wood where subterranean termites and roaches get in.
The Pithlachascotee River, called the Cotee River by locals, winds through downtown past Sims Park. Riverfront lots stay damp and shady, which keeps palmetto bugs, mosquitoes and roof rats close to homes along the water.
US 19 is lined with shopping centers and restaurants. Homes behind busy commercial strips can see more German roaches and rodents moving from dumpsters and drains toward houses nearby.
