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

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatments vary depending on the pest type, infestation severity, and environmental factors. Our approach to building and executing custom treatment plans remains consistent.

Inspection

We begin with a free inspection performed by one of our expert technicians. During the inspection, the technician will evaluate the infestation and diagnose its cause by focusing on key factors, such as:

• The type and placement of shrubbery around your home
• The amount and type of mulch used in your landscaping
• The condition and location of water pipes
• Proximity to water sources, wooded areas, or neighboring properties

The technician will also ask questions to further customize your treatment plan. These may include:

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

After the inspection, the technician will explain the risks posed by pests and collaborate with you to create a customized treatment plan. Initial treatments generally focus on sealing windows, doors, and entry points.

Treatment

Using integrated pest management (IPM) principles, we apply a flushing agent and set traps that work on pests without endangering your family or pets. The treatment consists of both an interior and exterior flush-out.

The day before your scheduled treatment, you will receive a notification via text, email, or phone confirming your technician’s arrival time within a two-hour window.

Inside your home, we will:

• Apply granular pesticide around the inner perimeter
• Treat windows and doors
• Remove spider webs
• Apply dust treatments in wall voids in the kitchen and bathroom
• Set baited traps and gel traps to address active infestations

For the exterior, we will:

• Treat windows, doors, and entry points
• Focus on cracks and crevices
• Apply granular pesticides around the outdoor perimeter
• Sweep and treat soffits to remove spiders, webs, and wasp nests
• Sweep and treat outdoor covered areas

Following your service, you will receive an email containing the name and picture of your technician, along with a detailed summary of the products used and the tasks completed.

Prevention

If pests persist after the initial treatment, we will return to address the issue. We also offer a full refund if we are unable to meet your expectations.

After we eliminate active pests, we recommend quarterly re-treatments around the exterior of your home to prevent future infestations. By rotating treatments based on seasonal pests common to Sanibel, we ensure pests do not build resistance to our products, offering year-round protection.
