We Help You Deal with Pesky Pests
You can avoid the infestation of some pests simply by keeping your house clean. But others need to be disposed of with the help of a knowledgeable Palm Coast pest control service. A pest control service may use several methods to rid your home of unwanted insects and rodents.
It helps to know that pests want three things that are easily available in your home.
These include food, water and shelter. Though most insects are not quite keen on another basic necessity – clothing, clothing moths can often raid your wardrobe to snip away at the fabric, ruining them for good. It is necessary to have an ongoing Palm Coast pest control service maintenance program to ensure that infestations are under control and future ones do not arise. The service also helps you with tips and suggestions to help prevent new infestations.

Ants are a common problem almost all year round. They can wreak havoc indoors or out and to exterminate them the Palm Coast pest control service will find the main nest and destroys it. Without destroying the nest the ants will only regroup and return.
A significant part of pest control service’s business is the bugs that swarm in spring and fall. They can interfere with your comfort at home or with your gardening Pests can grow in number very quickly, so it's a good idea to call us as soon as possible. Once an infestation is confirmed, it is best handled by a professional Palm Coast pest control service.
There are many species of ants and most of them will stay outside your home. The ones that like to visit you would be:
- Carpenter Ants
- Fire Ants
- Acrobat Ants
- Crazy Ants
- Little Black Ants
- Thief Ants
- Ghost Ants (sugar ant)
- Pharaoh Ants (sugar ant)
- Odorous Ants
- White Footed Ants
Occasional Invaders-These are pests that can invade your home:
- Scorpions
- Millipedes
- Centipedes
- Earwigs
- Stored Product Pests
- Fleas
- Ticks
- Mites
- Carpet Beetles
- Webbing clothes Moth
- Cakemaking Moth
- Bed bugs
- Blood Sucking Conenose
- Rodents (Rats and Mice)
Fleas are especially disliked because of the physical pain they inflict by directly feeding on humans or other warm blooded animals. Some pests are nocturnal and feed on human blood. A skilled Palm Coast pest control service is very careful when it comes to this problem. They strip all beds bare and examine every crack and crevice. Even the seams and buttons of mattresses may be teeming with these parasites.
Cats and dogs are carriers of fleas and children playing with the pets may be tormented by the fleas. They are fairly easy to get rid of. It usually requires just one Palm Coast pest control service treatment to get rid of them. Dust mites are also found in many homes. They cause asthma and other allergic reactions. Though difficult to get rid of, the simple rule of thumb is the less dust, the fewer dust mites.
Spiders - These Arachnids strike fear in most people, but they are beneficial in reducing pests. They are all venomous, but the two that are dangerous to people are:
- The Black Widow
- The Brown Recluse
Cockroaches are also extremely difficult to control, which is not surprising since they can go into hiding and live for a very long time without food or water. Prevention is the best option since roaches are rarely found in scrupulously clean places. Once infested, roaches are not easy to get rid of. The Palm Coast pest control service uses federally approved pesticides to keep this tenacious pest out of your home. A spotlessly clean house, especially the kitchen, is the best strategy as far as roaches are concerned.
Of the Cockroaches you may encounter, they all live outside the home and will invade your home when conditions are right.
On the other hand, the German Cockroach is the most successful domesticated cockroach. They are very comfortable living with us in our homes and do not live outside. They are transferred from one house to another by people giving them a free ride in items they own. Items shipped from warehouses may also contain them.
There are approximately 3500 species of cockroaches in the world today, but luckily, they all don't live on Florida!
The ones you will probably encounter are:
- American Roach
- Smoky Brown Roach
- Australian Roach
- Brown Banded Roach
- German Roach - the most home infesting one of all
- Oriental Roach
There are others not so common in this area as:
- Madagascan Hissing Roach
- Death's Head Roach
- Surinam Roach
- Lobster or Cinereous Roach
- Cuban Roach
Wood-Destroying-Organisms
The number one insect there in Florida is Subterranean Termites. They cause more damage each year than all the natural disasters that can befall us and that's why they are not covered under your homeowner's insurance!
Other insects that can inflict wood damage are:
- Drywood Termites
- Powder Post Termites
- Death Watch Beetles
- Old House Borers
- Flathead Borers
- Powder Post Beetles
- Bark Beetles
- Flat Oak Borer
- Timber Worms
- Carpenter Bees
- Carpenter Ants
Number 10 & 11 do not cause enough damage to be the Florida W.D.O. list of sufficient wood damaging insects.
Other Wood Destroying Organisms are wood rot. There are different types of wood rot:
- Brown Rot
- White Rot
- Soft Rot
Wood rots for one simple reason: It gets wet. It can happen to wood anywhere in your house-in structural timber, door trim, eaves, exterior trim. you name it. Wood rot is also common on boats and plants and can even be found in musical instruments.
All wood has the potential for rotting, as it contains a certain amount of moisture. If moisture content is below 20 percent, rot typically isn't a concern. Anything over this provides a potential breeding ground for fungi, which is what causes wood rot.
Moisture is just one thing that fungi needs to survive. They also need the following:

Moisture is just one thing that fungi needs to survive. They also need the following:
- Favorable temperatures (Anything in the 40 F to 100 F range will do.
- Oxygen.
- A food source (The fungi that attack wood, prefer carbohydrates in the form of cellulose and lignin.)
Wood is made up of cellulose and lignin and the other factors are hard to control, so fungi abatement efforts generally focus on the one variable-moisture-that we can do something
What You Can Do
Always keep an eye out for any pest trouble. Most pest problems are better nipped in the bud and can be easily controlled if spotted early enough. If neglected they can snowball into a much bigger problem. A knowledgeable Palm Coast pest control service will suggest several basic things that can be done to prevent infestation.
Using amber lighting outside keeps insects from being attracted to bright lights. Also, caulking cracks, crevices and joints prevent roaches and other insects from using them as their hiding place. Also, cleanliness goes a long way in helping you keep your house pest free. Pests are tiny, and as a knowledgeable Palm Coast pest control service will tell you, they can survive even on the smallest crumbs.
And while you keep the indoors clean, do not neglect the outdoors. Piles of leaves and other rubbish in your backyard form excellent nesting and hiding places for a wide variety of rodents and insects. It’s important to clean up yard debris on a regular basis.
While the tips may help you ward off pest attacks to a great extent, you may be better off calling the Palm Coast pest control service if there is an infestation.
For a Pest Free Home
While a reputable Palm Coast pest control service is not against home owners attempting to get rid of the occasional fly or ant on their own, they advise exercising caution. If you are attempting to use pesticides on your own, pay a great deal of attention to how you handle them and always follow the label instructions. For more tips and ideas about how to avoid these unwanted guests in your home, talk to your local Palm Coast pest control service.
Pest control technicians are trained professionals who understand what makes pests thrive and what kills them. An average home owner may not have such specialized knowledge. So if you find any signs of pest infestation in your house, it is better to call for your nearest Palm Coast pest control service rather than attempting to handle it on your own.
The professionals are trained in locating the root cause of the problem and attacking it there. They use the latest and best equipment and technology, with minimum interference to your daily schedule. In addition to helping you eradicate the problem a qualified Palm Coast pest control service can also give you some very useful tips and suggestions to keep your home pest free.
