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

Winter Pest Treatment

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

Inspection

We begin by sending a pest control expert to your home to conduct a free inspection. During this inspection, we assess the infestation and determine its cause by focusing on:

• The type and placement of shrubbery around your home
• The amount, type, and placement of mulch in your landscaping
• The condition and location of your water pipes
• The proximity of your home to water sources, other structures, and wooded areas

Your technician will also ask questions about your home and preferences to customize your treatment plan. Some of the questions might include:

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

After the inspection, we will inform you of any health or property risks posed by the pests. Our technician will explain all available treatment options, allowing you to choose a custom plan. An initial treatment will then be applied to windows, doors, and entry points.

Treatment

Using integrated pest management (IPM) principles, we apply a flushing agent and traps that work effectively without harming your family or pets. Our treatment process includes both an interior and exterior flush-out.

You’ll receive a text, email, or phone call the day before your scheduled treatment, notifying you of when to expect your technician. The treatment itself will occur within a manageable two-hour window.

Inside your home, our technician will:

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

For the exterior, our technician will:

• Focus on windows, doors, and other entry points
• Treat 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 treatment, you’ll receive an email detailing the products used, so you know exactly what was done.

Prevention

If pests persist after the initial treatment, we’ll return to resolve the issue. If we can’t make you 100% satisfied, you’ll receive a full refund.

After eliminating active pests, we’ll re-treat the exterior of your home once per quarter to prevent future infestations. With our knowledge of seasonal pests in Tarpon Springs, we rotate granular and spray agents to ensure that pests don’t develop resistance to our treatments, keeping your home pest-free long-term.
