The Hammocks Wildlife Questions
What pests are most common in The Hammocks community?
The Hammocks is a master-planned community with extensive lakes and green spaces that create significant pest pressure. Mosquitoes are a major concern due to the community's many retention lakes and ponds. Ghost ants, subterranean termites, and roof rats nesting in the abundant mature oak and mahogany trees are also common throughout the neighborhood.
How do I deal with mosquitoes near The Hammocks lakes?
The Hammocks' numerous lakes and retention ponds throughout the community sustain year-round Culex and Aedes mosquito populations. Barrier spray treatments applied every 3–4 weeks to your yard perimeter, combined with BTi mosquito dunks in any standing water features on your property, provide substantial relief. The community's HOA also coordinates mosquito control for common areas.
Are termites common in The Hammocks homes?
Yes. The Hammocks was developed largely in the 1980s and 1990s, and many homes are reaching the age where subterranean termite soil treatments applied during construction have lost effectiveness. Formosan subterranean termites are active throughout the community. Annual WDO inspections and a Sentricon or similar baiting system are recommended for all Hammocks properties.
