Houston Bug Report
Houston is no longer the buggiest U.S. city, but pests still thrive. Learn what it means for your home and how Safe Guard Pest Control can help.
Introduction
By the Owner of Safe Guard Pest Control | www.safeguardpestcontrol.biz
For most people, for most of the time, Houston was believed to be the bug capital of America. Hot weather and long summers coupled with the slightest humidity, no wonder bugs are so fond of this city. But some new data just provided an interesting twist: Houston, with its bug-infested territories, is no longer even the U.S. city with the greatest bug account. Surprising, right?
As an owner of Safe Guard Pest Control, I have found this report by ABC13.com eye-opening. Houston still ranks high; however, the cities are now facing a bug issue on a larger level. However, let me explain what it really means for you, and how our local pest control could assist.
What New Data Says
The new Pest Gnome report looked at pest data and search trends across the Continental US. Among the things considered were how often people search for pest control services and what types of pests most frequently infest homes.
The main findings:
-
Cities like Atlanta, New Orleans, and Miami now top the list.
-
Houston ranks lower than expected, although still one of the buggiest cities.
-
Common pests include cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, termites, rats, and bed bugs.
But even if Houston is no longer on top, we do have actual pest problems here. And it feels every bit as bad in our communities, especially come summertime!
What This Means for Homeowners in Houston
Don’t be fooled by the numbers! Just because Houston didn’t come first doesn’t mean the bugs have vanished! In fact, they are still tucked away in:
-
Your attic
-
Kitchen cabinets and in your bathrooms
-
Crack in the walls and crawlspaces
-
In your backyard sheds and patios
Most homeowners let their guards down when they hear we’re “not the worst.” But in reality, pests don’t care about rankings—they care about where they can find food, water, and shelter. And your home might just be the perfect place for them.
