Safe, Family-Focused Pest Control in Bithlo

When arranging pest control, the first question is typically, “Is this safe around my kids and pets?”

We build every service with that concern as our foundation:

• Focused applications – Instead of spraying every surface indiscriminately, our technicians target where pests actually live and travel—cracks, gaps, wall voids, entry points, and foundation zones.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods – Where feasible, we pair treatment products with smart non-chemical tactics: sealing access points, managing moisture problems, adjusting landscaping, and removing food sources.
• Thoughtful product selection – We use professional-grade materials applied per manufacturer instructions, with particular attention to timing and locations where children and pets spend their time.
• Clear communication after each visit – You’ll know precisely what was applied, where it was applied, and any steps you should take—like keeping kids and pets off treated areas until they’re completely dry.

Our goal is simple: powerful, reliable pest control with minimal household disruption so you feel secure about your home’s protection.

How Our Bithlo Pest Control Program Works

Our residential pest control program focuses on continuous prevention rather than one-time reactive treatments. Here’s what standard service involves:

1. Property Assessment & Consultation

Every appointment starts with conversation. Your technician will:

• Ask where you’ve seen bugs or troubling activity
• Check common problem areas: kitchens, bathrooms, garages, attics, utility rooms, and exterior entry points
• Look for moisture concerns, openings, vegetation touching your home, and other conditions attracting pests

This helps them create a treatment plan tailored to your property’s construction, age, and surroundings.

2. Initial Population Reduction Service

On the first visit – especially when you’re dealing with considerable activity – your technician may perform a more thorough “clean-out” service:

• Interior crack-and-crevice work in kitchens, bathrooms, and other key areas
• Spot treatments where pests are actively present
• Dusting or baiting in wall voids, attics, and other hidden spaces (as needed)

This phase aims to knock down the existing pest population and stabilize the situation.

3. Foundation & Perimeter Protection

Most ongoing pest control happens outside, where pests try to gain access. We focus on:

• Treating your foundation and property perimeter
• Concentrating on window frames, doors, eaves, weep holes, and utility penetrations
• Removing spider webs and reachable wasp nests
• Addressing landscape “bridges” where vegetation contacts your structure

Exterior products are selected to handle Bithlo’s weather and irrigation, keeping your protective barrier intact even after severe storms.

4. Regular Maintenance Visits

After the initial clean-out, most Bithlo homes move to a regular service schedule (monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly, depending on your property and pest pressure). Your technician will:

• Refresh the exterior barrier
• Check for new activity or conducive conditions
• Treat interior areas if necessary
• Offer practical tips to reduce pests between visits

If you spot pests between scheduled services, just call for a follow-up visit.

Common Pest Problems in Bithlo We Address

Central Florida supports many pest species. Our Bithlo pest control services target those most likely to invade homes and cause issues.

Ants

Bithlo homeowners face various ant species, including sugar ants, ghost ants, fire ants outdoors, and larger carpenter ants that can damage wood. Ants often trail into kitchens and bathrooms looking for water and food.

Our treatments target both the ants you see and the colonies you don’t, using baits and residual products to stop the problem at its source.

Roaches

German cockroaches, American “palmetto bugs,” and other roach varieties love Bithlo’s humidity and warmth. Once they find food and shelter inside a home, they multiply fast.

Your technician will locate harborage areas, apply targeted treatments in cracks and crevices, and create barriers to keep roaches from getting back in.

Spiders

Spiders around eaves, soffits, garages, and exterior lights are common throughout Central Florida. While most aren’t dangerous, their webs and surprise appearances are still a concern—especially with kids and pets around.

We treat harborage spots and help reduce the overall insect population that spiders feed on.

Silverfish, Earwigs & Occasional Invaders

Silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, and other occasional pests often show up in bathrooms, garages, and storage areas. Our general pest service includes these “bonus” pests by addressing where they hide and the conditions that attract them.

Fleas & Ticks

If you have pets that go outdoors—or wildlife moving through your Bithlo property—fleas and ticks can quickly become a problem inside and outside.

Your technician can recommend an integrated approach: treating key outdoor zones, addressing indoor flea/tick hotspots, and coordinating with your vet on pet treatments.

Rodents (Integrated with Pest Control)

Rodents like mice and rats often follow food and shelter straight into garages, attics, and wall spaces. We provide rodent control and exclusion services that work alongside your overall pest control program, using professional-grade materials like steel wool and copper mesh to close off entry points.
