Apalachicola, FL Pest Control

Residential pest control in Apalachicola, FL, provides both home pest control in modern homes and the more than 900 historic homes and buildings in the area. Historic homes and buildings dating back to the 1830s are more challenging to keep protected from pests because of the construction methods and materials used.

Our residential pest control process focuses primarily on exterior treatments to protect your home from the outside in. We'll thoroughly inspect your property so we know exactly what pest pressures you're facing, and will only use necessary treatments where they're needed, never overtreating your home. We'll also look for conducive conditions, hiding spots, and potential access points that can be rectified without using products at all, for a safe, long-lasting layer of protection against future pest problems.

Bed bugs are a pest concern because these insects are so small they are hard to see, and every time you go out in public, take public transportation, stay in a hotel, or even sit in a waiting room, you are taking the chance that one of them will hitch a ride home with you. Once a bed bug has gotten inside your home, they are hard to get rid of.

Bed bugs do not leave many signs that they are present. When you see the signs, you usually have a large infestation of them in your home. You can look for symptoms like:

• Bite marks on your arms and legs, which may be grouped into a line of bites
• Brownish-red fecal smears on headboards, upholstery, bedding, or walls
• Eggs or shells of hatched eggs on mattresses, upholstery, or in cracks along walls
• Visibly seeing a bed bug on your bed or elsewhere in your house

Bed bug bites can be itchy and painful. On the other hand, many people do not even realize they have been bitten. The bites are only distressing if you have a reaction to them and they begin to swell.

The only natural way to detect the presence of these insects is to have professionals come and inspect your home. Technicians trained to spot the signs of bed bugs can find them in your home before you have a full-blown infestation. Professional bed bug control services are the only effective way to ensure the entirety of your bed bug issue has been eliminated. Regular bed bug control services in Apalachicola allow you to sleep securely, knowing you are not sleeping with bugs.

Because of how much damage they can do to properties, people often assume they would know if they had a termite infestation. But termites are good at hiding, and the damage they cause can be subtle for long stretches of the year before the outward signs are noticeable to anyone who isn’t trained on how to spot them. 

The key to avoiding termite damage is not assuming you don’t have a problem. Regular termite inspections conducted by experts are never a waste of time; they give you peace of mind that a destructive colony isn’t growing. If termite activity is discovered, termite control experts can quickly eliminate the population using treatments that actually address the entire colony. 

At Florida Sun Termite and Pest, we aim to save every local property from falling to termites. With our termite inspections and treatments, infestations are short-lived or avoided entirely. Contact us today to get started on termite control for your Apalachicola property. 

Not only can certain spider populations pose larger dangers to your health, but all spider populations are evidence of larger pest populations that have already grown on your property. Spiders don’t scavenge for food like other pests. Instead, they hunt other pests for meals, so they are attracted to properties that already have populations of prey for them to go after. 

While most household spiders are relatively harmless to people and pets, some species can be highly venomous and pose larger threats with their bites. Spiders like black widows and brown recluses can be found all over the continental United States, including in Florida. They can and will invade yards and homes in search of prey. 

All spiders tend to keep to themselves rather than seek out people to bite, but if they are startled or find their nesting grounds invaded by people or animals, spiders can and will bite. At best, these bites lead to itchy or painful welts on the skin. At worst, they can lead to worsening symptoms like nausea and dizziness if the spider is one of these more venomous varieties. 

This is why proper spider control is necessary for all homeowners, whether it’s spiders themselves that have invaded or it’s other bugs that might attract spider populations to your yard and interior. At Florida Sun Termite and Pest, we inspect properties for signs of spiders and other pests and then apply broad-spectrum treatments that ward off all kinds of infestations.

One thing most property owners neglect to do when it comes to pest control is to think about the ways infestations form on their properties. Most people only worry about pest infestations once they spot property damage or other signs of activity around their homes, but this is a recipe for disaster. It’s better to address the factors that attract pests to your home in the first place, not just eliminate pests after they’re already causing issues. 

With rodents, in particular, infestations can introduce larger dangers to your home. Not only do these pests chew constantly on household items and cause bite and scratch marks, but they also carry diseases and parasites that can be introduced to your property. 

To reduce your risk of these dangers, you need to take the following actions: 

• Attractants: Rodents are drawn to homes by the presence of food, water, and shelter. Reducing their access to these attractants — by regularly deep cleaning around your home and storing food in secure containers and locations, for example — can help reduce your risk of infestation.  
• Access: Rodents can claw and chew their way through most kinds of building materials, so even tiny access points around your yard and home can provide them entry. Regularly inspecting and repairing potential access points is key. 
• Inspections and treatments: Speaking of inspections, rodent control experts should be called upon to check your property thoroughly for signs of rodents or attractants. They can also apply treatments and monitoring services that help ensure future infestations don’t form or are caught quickly.
