Due to its coastal location, Newport News experiences high humidity, which attracts moisture-loving pests like termites that thrive in damp wood and can cause significant structural damage. The city’s numerous parks and green spaces contribute to increased mosquito populations, making outdoor activities less enjoyable in the warmer months. Cockroaches, particularly American and German species, are commonly found in homes and businesses, seeking out warm, damp environments. Rodents, including Norway rats and house mice, often invade homes near the waterfront and industrial areas, looking for food and shelter. Additionally, silverfish and centipedes are frequent intruders in homes with high moisture levels, particularly in basements and bathrooms. Stinging insects, such as yellow jackets and hornets, are also a concern in the late summer and early fall, especially in suburban neighborhoods.
