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

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatment plans will vary depending on the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, and the specific risks to your home and lawn. However, our process for creating and implementing custom treatment plans follows a consistent approach.

Inspection

We begin by sending a pest control expert to your home for a detailed inspection. This free inspection helps us assess the extent of the infestation and identify its root cause. During the inspection, we focus on several factors, including:

• 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
• The proximity of your home to water sources, other buildings, and wooded areas

Your technician will also ask questions to create a personalized treatment plan that matches your preferences, such as:

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

After the inspection, the technician will explain any health and property damage risks posed by the pests. They will present you with treatment options, and together you’ll create a custom plan. We’ll then perform an initial treatment, focusing on windows, doors, and key entry points.

Treatment

Using integrated pest management (IPM) principles, we employ a two-step process—interior and exterior treatments—designed to target pests while keeping your family and pets safe.

You’ll receive a text message, email, or phone call the day before treatment, notifying you of the technician’s expected arrival time. The appointment window is typically two hours, so you won’t have to wait around all day.

For interior treatment, we will:

• Apply a granular pesticide around the inside perimeter of your home
• Treat the inside of windows and doors
• Sweep away spider webs
• Apply dust treatments in wall voids, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms
• Use gel traps and set baited traps to address active concerns

For exterior treatment, we will:

• Focus on treating the outside of windows, doors, and entry points
• Seal cracks and crevices
• Apply a granular pesticide around the outdoor perimeter
• Sweep and treat soffits to remove spiders, webs, and wasp nests
• Sweep and treat outdoor covered areas

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

Prevention

If pest problems persist after the initial treatment, we’ll return to resolve the issue to your satisfaction. We offer a full refund if you are not 100% satisfied with the results.

Once the active pests are under control, we’ll treat the exterior of your home on a quarterly basis to prevent future infestations. With our extensive knowledge of Pasco County’s seasonal pests, we rotate granular and spray agents to suit your home’s needs year-round. This ensures that pests don’t build resistance to the treatments, keeping your home protected long-term.
