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

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatment plans in Gateway are customized based on the type of pest, infestation severity, and risks to your home and lawn. Despite these variables, our approach to building and implementing custom treatment plans remains consistent across all scenarios.

Inspection

We begin by dispatching a pest control expert to conduct a thorough inspection of your home. During this free inspection, we’ll assess the infestation and pinpoint its root causes. We focus on the following factors:

• The type and placement of shrubs near your home
• The composition and location of mulch in your landscaping
• The condition and placement of your water pipes
• Your home’s proximity to water sources, other structures, and wooded areas

We also ask questions about your home environment and pest control preferences to ensure the treatment plan is suited to your needs. Questions may include:

• Have you noticed a change in pest activity recently?
• Do you have children or pets?
• Do you prefer organic or eco-friendly products?

After the inspection, you’ll be informed of any potential health or property damage risks. Together, you and our technician will build a custom treatment plan, after which we will perform the initial treatment on windows, doors, and key entry points.

Treatment

Following Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles, we deploy treatments that target pests while ensuring the safety of your family and pets. The treatment is two-fold, with an interior and exterior flush-out process that is specifically adapted for Gateway’s environment.

The day before treatment, you will receive a notification by text, email, or phone call, letting you know when to expect your technician. You will be given a two-hour window, ensuring the appointment is convenient.

For interior treatment, we will:

• Apply granular pesticides around the inner perimeter
• Treat doors and windows from the inside
• Remove visible spider webs
• Perform dust treatments in kitchen and bathroom wall voids
• Set gel and baited traps to address any active pest concerns

For exterior treatment, we will:

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

After the treatment, you will receive an email detailing the products used, along with the name and photo of the technician who completed the service.

Prevention

If pests persist after the initial treatment, we will return to address the issue free of charge. Should we fail to meet your expectations, we offer a full refund.

Once the active pests have been treated, we recommend quarterly re-treatments to prevent future infestations. By leveraging our deep knowledge of Gateway’s seasonal pests, we rotate treatment products to prevent pests from building resistance, ensuring long-term protection.
