Riverside and Avondale make up one of the largest historic districts in the country, with thousands of buildings on tree-lined streets along the St. Johns River. Bungalows, Prairie-style homes and grand river houses sit a short walk from Memorial Park, the Riverside Arts Market under the Fuller Warren Bridge and the shops of Five Points.
Older homes need a pest company that understands older homes. Crown Pest Control has provided pest control in Riverside and Avondale since 1979, and we treat every historic house with care. Call (904) 743-1132 for a free quote.
Most of Riverside’s housing is bungalows or bungalow-style homes, many of them wood-frame and raised on piers. After a century of settling, repairs and additions, these houses have gaps no modern home would: between old siding boards, around original windows, and where new plumbing was run through old floors.
Those gaps let palmetto bugs and roof rats move in and out, and the crawlspaces underneath stay damp and sheltered all year.
The oak canopy that shades Riverside is also a roof rat highway. Rats run along limbs to reach rooftops and slip in through vents and eave gaps.
Container-breeding mosquitoes love shady courtyards, planters and clogged gutters. They bite during the day, not just at dusk, so they can make a porch unusable.
Riverside and Avondale are locally designated historic districts, and many exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the city. Our approach doesn’t depend on altering your home’s look. We focus on targeted treatments, discreet exterior bait stations and practical sealing advice. If an exclusion repair would change the exterior, we’ll tell you so you can check the requirements before any work is done.
Five Points and the Park and King area pack restaurants, bars and older apartment buildings into a few busy blocks. Food businesses nearby mean more roach and rodent pressure, and shared walls in converted homes and small apartment buildings let bed bugs and roaches spread from one unit to the next.
If you rent or own a unit here, quarterly service and a quick response when something shows up keep a small problem from becoming a building-wide one. The EPA’s bed bug resources explain why early action matters so much in multi-unit homes.
We’re a family-owned Jacksonville company with more than four decades of local experience, and we treat your home the way we’d treat our own. If pests return between scheduled visits, so do we, at no charge. About Crown.

Yes. Most of our Riverside work is on older wood-frame homes. We focus on treatments and discreet bait stations that don’t change your home’s exterior, and we’ll flag any repair that might need a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Yes. We treat single units and work with landlords. For bed bugs or roaches in multi-unit buildings, treating neighboring units at the same time often gives the best result.
Older homes have more gaps, damp crawlspaces and old plumbing runs, and palmetto bugs use all of them. Regular perimeter treatment and sealing the biggest gaps usually makes a big difference.
We cover Riverside, Avondale and Five Points in 32204 and 32205, plus nearby neighborhoods like Murray Hill and Ortega.
