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

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatment plans will vary based on factors like the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, and the specific layout of your home and lawn. However, our proven process for developing custom treatment plans is consistent.

Inspection

The first step is a thorough inspection by a pest expert. Our technician will visit your home, evaluate the extent of the pest problem, and identify its cause. Factors considered include:

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

Your technician will also ask questions to understand your preferences and home environment:

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

Once the inspection is complete, our technician will inform you of any health or property damage risks posed by the pests. Together, you will develop a custom pest control plan, followed by an initial treatment of windows, doors, and other entry points.

Treatment

We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles to provide safe, effective pest control. This involves using minimal chemicals while protecting your home, family, and pets. Treatment typically involves two steps: an interior and exterior flush.

Before your appointment, you’ll receive a notification with a specific two-hour window for the technician’s arrival. Our technician will complete the following treatments inside your home:

• Apply a granular pesticide around the interior perimeter
• Treat the inside of windows and doors
• Remove spider webs
• Apply dust treatments in wall voids in the kitchen and bathroom
• Use gel traps and baited traps to address active pest concerns

For exterior treatment, we will:

• Focus on external doors, windows, and other entry points
• Treat cracks and crevices
• Apply a granular pesticide around the outdoor perimeter
• Remove spider webs and wasp nests from soffits
• Sweep and treat covered outdoor areas

After treatment, you will receive an email detailing the products used and their purpose, along with a picture of the technician who performed the service.

Prevention

If pests remain after the initial treatment, we’ll return until the problem is resolved to your satisfaction. If we cannot fully address the issue, we offer a complete refund.

To prevent future infestations, we recommend quarterly exterior treatments. Our knowledge of Englewood’s seasonal pests allows us to rotate granular and spray agents throughout the year, preventing pests from developing resistance.
