Byron’s rural and agricultural environment provides ideal conditions for pests, including:

​

• Ants: These pests frequently invade homes, farms, and businesses in search of food and water, particularly during warmer months. They can be especially problematic in kitchens and food storage areas.

​​

• Rodents: Mice and rats are a common issue in Byron, particularly in agricultural settings and near homes. They can cause significant damage by chewing on structures, wiring, and crops, while also spreading diseases.

​​

• Termites: Wooden structures in Byron, including barns and older homes, are vulnerable to termites. These silent destroyers can cause extensive damage that often goes unnoticed until repairs become costly.

​​

• Cockroaches: Cockroaches thrive in kitchens, restaurants, and other food-related spaces, spreading bacteria and creating unsanitary conditions.

​​

• Spiders: While most spiders in Byron are harmless, venomous species such as the black widow can pose health risks in dark, undisturbed spaces like garages, basements, and storage areas.

​​

• Mosquitoes: Byron’s proximity to Delta waterways provides perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes, which disrupt outdoor activities and can spread diseases such as West Nile virus.
