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

Winter Pest Treatment

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

Inspection

We’ll begin by sending a pest expert to your home to conduct a thorough inspection. This free inspection helps us assess the infestation and diagnose its cause. During the inspection, we’ll focus on several factors, such as:

• 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
• How close your home is to water sources, other buildings, wooded areas, and more

Your technician will also ask you questions to customize a treatment plan that meets your preferences. These questions might include:

• Has pest activity increased or decreased recently?
• Do you have children or pets?
• Do you prefer natural or organic products?

After the inspection, our technician will explain any health and property damage risks associated with the pests. Then, we’ll collaborate with you to create a custom plan and perform 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 while keeping your family and pets safe. Treatment comes in two steps: an interior and an exterior flush-out.

The day before treatment, you’ll receive a notification via text message, email, or phone call with the expected arrival time of your technician. Your appointment window is typically only two hours long, so you won’t need to wait all day.

For the interior treatment, we’ll:

• Apply a granular pesticide around the inner perimeter
• Treat the inside of windows and doors
• Sweep up spider webs
• Complete dust treatments in wall voids in your kitchen and bathroom
• Apply gel traps and set baited traps to address any active concerns

For the exterior treatment, we’ll:

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

After treatment, you’ll receive an email with your technician’s name and picture, as well as an overview of the products used so you can understand what was done and why.

Prevention

If pest issues persist after the initial treatment, we’ll return to resolve the issue to your satisfaction. If we can’t make you 100% happy with the results, you’ll receive a full refund.

Once we’ve addressed active pests, we’ll return to treat the outside of your home once per quarter to prevent future infestations. Thanks to our extensive knowledge of seasonal pests in Dunedin, we rotate granular and spray agents to suit your needs year-round. This also helps ensure pests don’t develop resistance to our products, providing long-term protection.
