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

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatment plans vary depending on the type of pests, the severity of the infestation, and the unique characteristics of your home and yard. Our approach to building and executing custom treatment plans remains consistent, ensuring effective solutions.

Inspection

Our service starts with a free inspection performed by a licensed pest control expert. During the inspection, the technician will assess the infestation and diagnose its cause by focusing on the following:

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

The technician will also ask questions to further tailor the treatment plan. Questions may include:

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

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

Treatment

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

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

Inside your home, we will:

• Apply a 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 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 pesticide around the outdoor perimeter
• Sweep and treat soffits to remove spiders, webs, and wasp nests
• Sweep and treat outdoor covered areas

After the 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 resolve the issue. We offer a full refund if we cannot meet your expectations.

Once the active pests have been addressed, we recommend quarterly re-treatments around the exterior of your home to prevent future infestations. By rotating treatments based on our knowledge of seasonal pests in Sarasota County, we ensure that pests do not develop resistance to our products, providing year-round protection.
