Pest Control in Clearwater: We’d Rather Stop Them at the Door

Here's the way I look at it. If we're treating inside your home, something already got in and we're correcting a problem. If we're treating outside, we're keeping that problem from ever happening. Most of what we do is the second one. We'd rather stop them at the door than go looking for them once they're in your kitchen.

The estimate is free. We come out, walk the property, and tell you straight what you've got and what it'll take. Protecting Tampa Bay homes since 1986.

The barrier

We treat a barrier around your house, and while we're doing that, we're checking under your windowsills and around every door and window, because that's where bugs work their way in.

We look up, too

Spiders are opportunistic. They'll set up wherever the conditions are right, and outside lights that draw insects at night are exactly the kind of spot that gets their attention, so we treat around those. If you've got a pool cage, we check inside it, since a screened enclosure gives them the same opportunity.

Mulch, eaves, and gutters

We look at your mulch beds and around your shrubs, because heavy mulch holds moisture and gives bugs somewhere to hide close to your foundation. We treat your eaves and soffits, and we check your gutters and downspouts to see if water's draining the way it should, since standing water and clogged drainage are exactly what invites pests in. On the ground, we're checking your driveway and sidewalk for ant mounds and trails working toward the house.

When we come inside

The whole time we're out there, we're not just running a checklist. We're looking for anything out of the ordinary that needs something extra. And we do go inside when it's called for. If you're already seeing roaches, ants, drain flies, centipedes, or something else crawling around, we come in and treat it directly. But for most homes on a regular schedule, staying on the outside is what keeps the inside clean in the first place.

Got roaches specifically? The big ones and the little ones need different fixes.
