Pest Pressures in Five Points

Five Points developed primarily in the 1920s and 1930s, filled with Craftsman bungalows, Tudor revivals, and modest working-class homes. A century later, the neighborhood is more popular than ever—but the homes' age creates ongoing pest management challenges.

Why Five Points Homes Are Pest-Prone

Mature tree canopy: Five Points' magnificent oaks and elms provide shade and character—and harbor carpenter ants, spiders, and smokybrown roaches that eventually target homes
Craftsman construction: Built-in cabinetry, sleeping porches, and detailed woodwork create countless hiding spots for pests
Pier-and-beam foundations: Most Five Points homes have crawl spaces that provide pest access and harborage
Original plumbing: 80-100 year old pipes develop leaks that attract moisture-loving pests like termites and roaches
Connected infrastructure: Dense urban construction means pest problems spread easily between adjacent properties

Common Five Points Pest Issues

Carpenter ants: The neighborhood's mature trees are carpenter ant reservoirs. Colonies expand into homes, especially where moisture damage exists
Termites: Century-old wood that's had a century of termite exposure. Many Five Points homes have been treated multiple times over the decades
Roaches: American cockroaches thrive in the older sewer infrastructure and invade through floor drains and pipe penetrations
Rodents: Older construction has more entry points than modern homes, and the dense urban environment supports robust rodent populations

About Five Points

Five Points takes its name from the five-way intersection at its heart—where Andrew Jackson Way, Pratt Avenue, and other streets converge. The surrounding neighborhood developed as Huntsville's first automobile suburb, close enough to downtown for an easy commute but far enough for a yard and garden.

Today Five Points is one of Huntsville's most desirable neighborhoods. Young professionals restore bungalows, families raise kids on tree-lined streets, and the commercial district anchored by Pints & Pixels draws visitors from across the city. The neighborhood association works to preserve the area's character and history.

We understand Five Points—the construction methods, the common pest issues, the need to treat respectfully in a neighborhood where people take pride in their homes. Our technicians provide thorough, professional service that protects your bungalow without disrupting the character that makes Five Points special.
