Common Pests We See

Dealing with pests can be overwhelming. 

Below are some of the most common pests we help manage:

• Cockroaches: These resilient insects are not only unpleasant but can also spread allergens and bacteria.
• Ants: While small, ants can cause significant problems, especially if they invade your kitchen or pantry.
• Fleas and Ticks: Often carried in by pets, these pests can spread diseases such as Lyme disease and tapeworms.
• Rodents: Mice and rats are notorious for damaging wiring, insulation, and even spreading disease.
• Mosquitoes: In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes can transmit diseases like West Nile virus and Zika.
• Bees and Wasps: While important for pollination, bees and wasps can become a hazard when they build nests near your home or business.

Due to Auburndale’s proximity to lakes and green spaces like Lake Ariana and the Auburndale City Park, residents often see increased mosquito activity during the warmer months. Businesses in high-traffic areas frequently encounter ant infestations, especially in kitchens, warehouses, and retail stores. We employ strategies that address both the immediate concerns and seasonal pressures faced by local property owners, ensuring your space remains protected.

Signs of a Pest Problem

Several signs can indicate a pest problem in your home or property. 

Watch for the following indicators:

• Droppings or fecal matter: Finding small droppings or pellets in your living spaces, cabinets, or other areas often points to a pest infestation. The size and shape of the droppings can help identify the type of pest involved.
• Gnaw marks: Pests like rodents (mice, rats) and some insects leave behind gnaw marks on furniture, walls, wires, or other materials. Look for signs of chewed wood, wires with visible damage, or holes in packaging.
• Strange noises: Unusual sounds such as scratching, squeaking, or scurrying coming from the walls, ceilings, or floors may signal the presence of pests. Nocturnal pests, such as rats or mice, are often more active at night.
• Foul odors: Some pests produce strong, unpleasant odors. For example, a musty smell could suggest a mold or mildew issue, while a strong, pungent odor might indicate a cockroach infestation. The smell of urine or droppings may also signal rodent activity.
• Visible pests: Spotting actual pests, whether alive or dead, is an obvious sign of an infestation. Common examples include rodents, insects (such as ants, cockroaches, or bed bugs), or even larger pests like raccoons or squirrels.
• Nesting materials: Pests often create nests or shelters in hidden areas of your home. Finding shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or other materials in unusual places may reveal the presence of pests.
• Tracks or footprints: Some pests leave tracks or footprints in dusty or less frequently cleaned areas. Rodents may leave trails or footprints in attics, basements, or dusty corners.
• Damage to plants: If you have a garden or indoor plants, look for signs of damage, such as holes in leaves, wilting, or chewed stems. These can indicate the presence of pests, such as insects or rodents.
• Bite marks or skin irritation: Noticing unexplained bite marks or experiencing skin irritation may indicate the presence of bed bugs, fleas, or other biting insects.

Along with these warning signs, some pests in Auburndale adjust their activity to local weather conditions. During heavy rain or high humidity, insects seek shelter inside garages, attics, and crawl spaces. Businesses near industrial parks or food storage facilities may also experience increased signs of rodent activity, especially during colder months when pests seek warmth and readily available food sources. Regular inspections and prompt action help limit damage and maintain healthy spaces for your family or employees.

If you notice any of these signs, take steps to identify and address the pest problem. Consulting with a professional pest control service can help you determine the extent of the infestation and implement effective measures to resolve it.

The Importance of Regular Pest Control

Regular pest control helps maintain a healthy and safe environment in your home or business. Pests can cause health risks and structural damage. Proactive pest management prevents infestations before they occur, saving you time and money in the long run. Routine inspections and treatments help keep your property pest-free and comfortable throughout the year.

In communities like Auburndale, recurring pest control assumes added significance due to the local climate and year-round pest pressure. Subtropical weather and regular rainfall enable pests to breed rapidly, making proactive services even more crucial for long-term property protection. Regular treatments prevent issues before they can disrupt your space, help avoid code violations for local businesses, and support healthier environments for everyone in your building. By choosing an ongoing service plan, you can reduce pest problems and help safeguard your investment in your home or business in the long term.
