Winter Pest Control in Lee County, FL: Keeping Your Home Pest-Free During the Cool Season

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatment plans vary based on the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, and the specific needs of your home and yard. However, our process for creating and implementing custom treatment plans remains consistent.

Inspection

We’ll begin by sending a pest control expert to your home for a free inspection. The technician will assess the infestation and determine its root cause. During the inspection, they’ll focus on factors such as:

• The types and placement of plants and shrubs near your home
• The amount, type, and placement of mulch in your landscaping
• The condition of your water pipes and drainage systems
• The proximity of your home to water sources, wooded areas, or other buildings

Additionally, the technician will ask you questions about your home and preferences to help build the best treatment plan for your situation. These questions may include:

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

Once the inspection is complete, you’ll be informed of any health risks or property damage that pests may cause. Our technician will then outline your treatment options so you can create a customized plan together before the initial treatment begins.

Treatment

We use integrated pest management (IPM) principles in our treatments, applying flushing agents and setting traps that are effective against pests but safe for your family and pets. Treatment includes both interior and exterior steps to eliminate pests and prevent future infestations.

Before treatment, you’ll receive a text message, email, or phone call to inform you of your technician’s arrival time. The appointment window is kept short—typically within a manageable two-hour period.

During your scheduled interior treatment, we’ll:

• Apply granular pesticide along the interior perimeter
• Treat windows, doors, and other entry points
• Sweep up spider webs
• Perform dust treatments in wall voids, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms
• Set gel and baited traps to address any active pest issues

For the exterior of your home, we’ll:

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

After the treatment, you’ll receive an email with the name and picture of your technician, along with an overview of the products used. This ensures you’re fully informed about what was done and why.

Prevention

If pests persist after the initial treatment, we’ll return to address the problem until you are completely satisfied. If we cannot meet your expectations, we offer a full refund.

Once the active pests are eliminated, we recommend quarterly exterior treatments to prevent future infestations. Our extensive knowledge of Lee County’s seasonal pests allows us to rotate our treatment products, ensuring that pests don’t build resistance. This approach keeps pests at bay throughout the year.
