Older multi-unit buildings near the canal corridor share walls, so bed bugs can move between units.
Areas near the canal and its industrial land can have more rats and mice, which look for shelter in nearby homes as the weather cools.
Older homes along the canal often have wood that has been exposed to moisture over the years, which can attract carpenter ants.
Mature trees and older outbuildings in neighbourhoods near the canal give wasps plenty of places to build nests.
Older apartment buildings near the canal can have shared plumbing and gaps that let cockroaches spread.
Being close to the water means more insects, and more spiders around windows and eaves.
