Pest Pressures Around Avondale
Avondale blends newer and older housing, and that mix changes how we plan each service. Many homes date from the 2000s, but the city also has 2,337 units built from 1970 to 1979, 943 from 1960 to 1969 and 559 from 1950 to 1959. Older buildings often have worn seals, aging plumbing and mature landscaping that give ants, roaches and spiders places to settle, so we check those spots closely.
Newer Avondale neighborhoods tell a different story. The city has 3,396 units built from 2010 to 2019 and 2,739 built in 2020 or later. Detached houses are the biggest group, at 23,279 of the city’s 34,080 units, so yards, patios and garages get much of our attention in places like Alamar, Del Rio Ranch and Parkside. Another 6,570 units sit in buildings with 50 or more units, and 2,089 are mobile homes, each needing its own approach.
Garden Lakes centers on two lakes, North Lake and South Lake, with boat ramps and several miles of walking paths used for dog walks. That mix of water and pet traffic makes mosquito and tick control worth discussing for nearby homes.
