What Drives Pest Problems in Oak Cliff
Oak Cliff is north of Cedar Hill and Duncanville, across the Trinity River from downtown Dallas. Much of its housing dates from the 1920s through the 1950s, with Craftsman bungalows, Tudors and ranch homes on pier-and-beam foundations. Older wood framing over crawlspaces is prime termite territory.
The neighborhoods around Kessler Park and Stevens Park sit on hilly, wooded ground cut by creeks. Those ravines and the big old oaks and pecans overhead are where roof rats live. Rodent calls in Oak Cliff are often about rats running along power lines and fences into attics.
Older cast iron drain lines and dense streets with shared alleys mean more American roaches. Restaurants and shops along Bishop Arts and the commercial corridors add German roach pressure to nearby homes.
Mosquitoes breed in the creek bottoms and storm drains, and the many shaded backyards hold them through the day.
Because so many Oak Cliff homes are old and change hands often, termite inspection reports come up regularly during sales.
