Your roof provides shelter for your home and your family. But that same sturdy structure which keeps you cool and dry also offers protection to critters of all kinds. From raccoons to carpenter ants, many species have learned to seek refuge in residential roofing structures here in Southwest Florida.
Although we love all elements of nature, we don’t love when these pests move into – or onto – our homes and cause damage or place our loved ones at risk. Here is a rundown of some common roof pests, and what you can do to keep these unwelcome visitors out of your home.
Did You Know? South Florida is quite literally crawling with all of the above pests. But they are quickly losing their natural habitats, and they are finding it harder to remain distant from humans and their homes.
While some of these roof pests are easily seen by homeowners, others successfully hide from sight. Your annual roof inspection is a great opportunity to have a professional look for signs of any type of intrusion; at which time you can call in a professional exterminator.
A healthy roof is warm, dry, and sheltered from the weather. Although you cannot blame pests for wanting to share this space, it is best for your family’s health and safety that they are removed. If these or any other roof pests have caused any damage to your roof, call Kingdom Roofing for the needed roof repair, and remediation to prevent against their return.
