Winter Pest Control in Southwest Florida: Keeping Your Home Pest-Free During the Cold Season

Winter Pest Treatment

Winter pest control treatment plans will vary depending on the type of pests, the extent of the infestation, and the unique environmental conditions of your home and lawn. Our process for developing and executing custom treatment plans is consistent, no matter the pest.

Inspection

We begin by sending a pest control expert to inspect your home. The technician will assess the infestation and determine the causes, focusing on factors such as:

• The type and placement of landscaping and shrubbery around your home
• The type and placement of mulch in your yard
• The condition of water sources and pipes around your home
• The proximity of your home to water sources or wooded areas

Your technician will also ask about your preferences to create the right treatment plan for your home. You may be asked:

• 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, you’ll be informed of the potential risks posed by the pests. The technician will explain your options and help you create a customized plan before initiating the initial treatment focused on key entry points such as windows and doors.

Treatment

Using integrated pest management (IPM) principles, we apply a flushing agent and set traps that target pests while keeping your family and pets safe. This treatment involves both interior and exterior methods.

Before your treatment appointment, you will receive a notification via text, email, or phone with your technician’s arrival time. The appointment window is set for a convenient two-hour period.

Inside your home, we will:

• Apply a granular pesticide along the inner perimeter
• Treat windows and doors from the inside
• Remove spider webs
• Apply dust treatments in wall voids, especially in kitchens and bathrooms
• Set gel and baited traps to address active infestations

For the exterior, we will:

• Focus on windows, doors, and other entry points
• Treat 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

After the treatment is completed, you will receive an email with the name and photo of your technician and a detailed report outlining the products used and work completed.

Prevention

If pests continue to persist after the initial treatment, we will return to resolve the issue. We offer a full satisfaction guarantee, and if we cannot meet your expectations, we will refund your payment.

After eliminating the active pests, we recommend quarterly re-treatments around your home’s exterior to prevent future infestations. By rotating our treatments and using our knowledge of seasonal pests in Southwest Florida, we ensure long-term pest control, preventing pests from building resistance to our products.
