Cary’s rapid growth over the past 40 years means a large proportion of its housing stock was built in the 1980s and 1990s — construction era associated with wood-frame slab foundations that are vulnerable to subterranean termites. The town’s extensive greenway system and Jordan Lake watershed proximity sustain heavy mosquito populations through summer.
Why Pest Pressure Is Elevated in Cary
Cary sits in USDA Hardiness Zone 7a, with approximately 40 freeze days per year and 48 inches of annual rainfall. Cary’s median household income of $98,474 reflects a community with significant investment in residential property — making professional pest control a priority. The housing stock includes median home age 73 years in older sections; significant construction from 1980s–2000s in Preston, MacGregor Downs, and Kildaire Farm areas.

Common Pest Issues in Wake County
- Termites: Cary sits directly over some of Wake County’s heaviest termite pressure zones. The 1980s–1990s construction boom produced slab-on-grade homes that termites can access through expansion joints and plumbing penetrations. Jordan Lake’s watershed moisture keeps soil conditions favorable year-round.
- Mosquitoes: Jordan Lake and its associated wetlands influence the entire western Cary area. The American Tobacco Trail corridor is a breeding hotspot. With 48 inches of annual rainfall and minimal winter die-off in Zone 7a, mosquito season in Cary runs nearly 9 months.
- Rodents: Cary’s mix of mature wooded lots and active commercial corridors along Walnut Street and Cary Parkway creates rodent pressure year-round. Older shopping centers and restaurant rows have documented Norway rat activity in their utility corridors.
