I found an infestation when I returned for the season — how?

Nobody was there to catch the first signs. An empty house gives a population months to establish undisturbed. A mid-summer inspection while you are away prevents most of it.

Why do I have more pests than friends nearer the coast?

The western communities border agricultural land and the Lake Okeechobee basin. Pressure from open farmland and pasture is genuinely different from a coastal neighbourhood.

Are fire ants worse out west?

Generally yes. They colonise open pasture and sandy soil readily, and properties bordering agricultural land see repeated reinvasion no matter how well the lawn is treated.

What you're dealing with in West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach's western communities push right up against agricultural land and the Lake Okeechobee basin, which brings pressure the coastal neighbourhoods never see — fire ants moving in from open pasture, rodents from surrounding farmland, and periodic insect movement out of the agricultural belt. The 1920s homes in El Cid and Northwood have the opposite problem: a century of settling has opened entry points everywhere.

When it happens, and why

Zone 10a is effectively frost-free, so there is no seasonal reset. The distinctive local pattern is seasonal occupancy — homes closed up for the summer are discovered infested in autumn, because nobody was there to notice the first few insects. That autumn return is consistently the busiest inspection period.

About West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach splits sharply between the historic districts near the Intracoastal — 1920s Mediterranean Revival and mission-style homes — and the sprawling gated communities pushing west toward the agricultural belt. Those two halves have almost nothing in common structurally.

Zone 10a, marginally cooler than Miami but still frost-free in most years. The western communities sit closer to open agricultural land and Lake Okeechobee, which changes what wanders in from the surrounding landscape.
