Winter Pest Control in Cape Canaveral, FL: Keeping Your Home Pest-Free During the Cold Season

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatment plans vary depending on the pest type, infestation severity, and specific risks based on your home, lawn, and local area. However, our process for building and executing custom treatment plans remains consistent.

Inspection

We’ll start by sending a pest expert to your home to complete our free inspection process, assessing the infestation and diagnosing its cause. During the inspection, they’ll focus on factors like:

• The type and placement of shrubbery near your home
• The amount, type, and placement of mulch in your landscaping
• The location and condition of your water pipes
• Proximity to water sources, other buildings, and wooded areas

Your technician will also ask questions about your home and preferences to create a tailored treatment plan. Common questions may include:

• Have you noticed an increase or decrease in pest activity?
• Do you have children or pets?
• Do you prefer natural or organic products?

After the inspection, we’ll inform you of any health and property risks. Our technician will then help you develop a custom plan, followed by an initial treatment on windows, doors, and entry points.

Treatment

Using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, we’ll apply a flushing agent and set traps that target pests without harming your family or pets. Treatment involves two steps: an interior and exterior flush-out.

Before treatment, you’ll receive a notification (text, email, or phone call) indicating when to expect your technician. Your appointment will have a manageable two-hour window for arrival.

During the interior treatment, we will:

• Apply a granular pesticide along the inner perimeter
• Treat windows and doors
• Sweep up spider webs
• Dust wall voids in your kitchen and bathroom
• Set gel and baited traps for active concerns

For exterior treatment, we will:

• Focus on windows, doors, and entry points
• Treat cracks and crevices
• Sprinkle granular pesticide around the perimeter
• Sweep and treat soffits to remove spiders, webs, and wasp nests
• Sweep and treat outdoor covered areas

Afterward, you’ll receive an email with your technician’s name, photo, and an overview of the products used, so you know exactly what was done and why.

Prevention

If pest problems persist after the initial treatment, we’ll return to resolve the issue to your satisfaction. If we can’t fully satisfy your needs, you’ll receive a full refund.

Once active pests are addressed, we’ll perform quarterly re-treatments to prevent future issues. With our extensive knowledge of seasonal pests in Cape Canaveral, we’ll rotate granular and spray agents to ensure year-round protection. This rotation also prevents pests from developing resistance to our products, ensuring long-term pest control.
