Complete Pest Protection for Orlando & Central Florida Homes
In Central Florida, pests don’t take a season off—and neither do we. Gato Lawn & Pest Control (Gato Guard) provides full-service, year-round pest protection for homes and properties throughout the greater Orlando area, including Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and select areas of Lake and Polk counties. Since 1999, our family-owned company has focused on honest, ethical service and practical solutions that really work in Florida’s hot, humid, storm-prone climate.
From everyday household invaders to more serious structural and health threats, our team is trained to handle the full spectrum of Central Florida pest problems. We start with a careful evaluation of your property—inside, outside, attic to foundation—to identify active infestations, find hidden entry points, and flag conditions that could invite future problems. Based on what we find, we design a customized treatment and prevention plan that fits your home, your family, and your budget.
With Gato Lawn & Pest Control, you don’t have to juggle multiple companies. One trusted team can help you with:
- General household pest control – Ants, roaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, and other crawling insects that sneak into kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.
- Specialty and structural pests – Termites and other wood-destroying organisms that threaten the structure and value of your home, including WDO inspections when needed.
- Biting and stinging pests – Mosquito treatments and mosquito misting systems designed for Central Florida’s rainfall and outdoor lifestyle, as well as solutions for other biting or stinging insects around patios, pools, and play areas.
- Rodents and wildlife – Humane, effective rodent control and wildlife removal to stop scratching in the attic, droppings in the garage, or damage around the roofline and yard.
- Integrated lawn, shrub, tree & palm care – Because a healthy landscape is your first line of defense, we offer lawn, shrub, tree, and palm services that reduce pest pressure and keep your property looking its best.

Complete Pest Protection for Orlando & Central Florida Homes
Gato Lawn & Pest Control provides complete, year-round protection for homes and properties throughout Orlando and Central Florida, combining professional pest control with expert lawn and landscape care so your entire property is guarded from the ground up. In our hot, humid, storm-prone climate, pests don’t take a season off—ants invade kitchens, roaches slip into bathrooms and garages, mosquitoes chase you off the patio, rodents look for shelter in attics, and termites quietly threaten the structure of your home. Our job is to make sure you don’t have to worry about any of it. From the moment you call Gato, you’re working with a local, family-owned company that understands Central Florida construction styles, neighborhoods, and pest pressures, and takes pride in delivering honest, ethical, results-driven service on every visit.
Every service starts with a thorough inspection, not a quick spray-and-go. Your technician will walk the interior, exterior, garage, attic, and yard, looking for signs of pest activity, moisture issues, entry points, and conditions that could invite future problems. We explain what we find in plain language, identify which pests are involved, and recommend a plan that fits your home and budget. For general household pest control, we target the insects that most commonly invade Orlando-area homes—ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, and other crawling pests—using precise crack-and-crevice applications inside and a strong defensive barrier outside. Instead of soaking everything, we treat the places pests actually live and travel: baseboards, plumbing penetrations, door thresholds, window frames, wall voids, and the perimeter around your foundation, doors, and windows. The products we use and how we apply them are chosen specifically to stand up to Central Florida’s frequent rain and heavy humidity while keeping your family’s safety at the forefront.
Beyond everyday invaders, Gato offers specialized protection against some of the most serious pest threats in our area. Termites and other wood-destroying organisms can do thousands of dollars in damage before they’re even noticed, so we provide detailed inspections, pretreatments for new construction, soil and bait system treatments, and localized interior/exterior treatments tailored to the type and level of activity. When needed, we can also coordinate fumigation for severe drywood termite infestations, ensuring colonies hidden deep within walls or attic structures are fully addressed. For real estate transactions, refinancing, or your own peace of mind, we perform WDO (Wood-Destroying Organism) inspections and provide clear reports that outline any current activity, past damage, and conditions that warrant attention, helping you protect your investment and keep closings on track.
Outdoor comfort is a major concern in Central Florida, and mosquitoes are one of the biggest reasons. Our mosquito control services are designed so you can enjoy your yard again. We inspect for breeding sites and resting areas, treat shrubs, tree lines, and other shaded zones where mosquitoes hide, and address standing water where appropriate. For homeowners who want the highest level of convenience and coverage, we design and install custom mosquito misting systems that automatically treat your outdoor living spaces at optimal times. Whether you prefer seasonal mosquito treatments, a permanent misting system, or a combination of both, we tailor the solution to your property and lifestyle so you can use your deck, pool, and patio without being eaten alive.
Rodents and wildlife are another reality of Central Florida living, especially around roofs, soffits, and older homes. Gato’s rodent control and exclusion services focus on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. We inspect rooflines, vents, utility penetrations, garages, and landscaping to find exactly where rats or mice are getting in, then implement a plan that may include trapping, targeted elimination, and professional-grade exclusion work to seal entry points with materials rodents can’t chew through. When larger animals such as raccoons, squirrels, or opossums move into attics or crawlspaces, our wildlife removal services provide humane, effective solutions to get them out safely, address the damage, and prevent new intruders from taking their place. We can also integrate rodent and wildlife prevention with your general pest and lawn programs for truly comprehensive protection.
What sets Gato apart is that we don’t just treat pests—we also strengthen your first line of defense: your lawn, shrubs, trees, and palms. Our lawn and landscape programs are designed for Central Florida turf and ornamentals, reducing stress from insects, disease, and weeds while improving overall health and appearance. A well-cared-for landscape not only boosts curb appeal, it also helps reduce harborage areas and moisture conditions that attract pests in the first place. With one company handling both lawn care and pest control, you get a coordinated, whole-property strategy instead of piecemeal service.
Quality of service is at the heart of everything we do. Our technicians are trained, licensed professionals who treat your home as if it were their own, taking time to answer questions, explain what they’re doing, and offer practical prevention tips you can use between visits. We know you’re inviting us onto your property and into your home, so we show up on time, in uniform, ready to work, and we clean up after ourselves when we’re done. Safety is always a priority: we use family- and pet-conscious treatment strategies, follow all label directions, and let you know when treated areas are safe to re-enter. If you have special concerns—such as small children, pregnancy, elderly family members, or sensitive pets—just let us know and we’ll tailor your service accordingly.
Most of all, we stand behind our work with a strong satisfaction guarantee. When you partner with Gato Lawn & Pest Control, you’re not just buying a one-time treatment—you’re gaining a team that is committed to keeping your home protected day in and day out. If pests come back between scheduled services, simply call us and we’ll return to address the issue, at no additional charge under your service agreement. Our goal is simple: deliver dependable, high-quality pest, termite, mosquito, rodent, wildlife, and lawn services that give you real peace of mind. For homeowners across Orlando and Central Florida, Gato isn’t just another pest control company—it’s the guard that keeps your home, family, and property protected all year long.

Pest Control – FAQs
What pests does Gato Lawn & Pest Control treat in Orlando and Central Florida?
Gato Lawn & Pest Control provides complete residential pest protection for homeowners in Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida area. Our general pest control services cover the most common household invaders, including ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, pantry pests, and other crawling insects that sneak into kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and living spaces. We use targeted products and application methods designed specifically for Florida’s hot, humid climate and local construction styles, so treatments work where pests actually live and travel.
Beyond everyday bugs, Gato also offers specialty services for more serious pest threats. We provide termite inspections and treatments (including pretreats and WDO inspections), mosquito control and mosquito misting systems, rodent control and exclusion, wildlife removal, and integrated lawn, shrub, tree, and palm care. That means one local, family-owned company can handle everything from roaches in the kitchen and ants in the yard to termites in the walls and rats in the attic, plus the lawn and landscape that surround your home.
Do I really need year-round pest control in Orlando’s climate?
Yes. In Central Florida, pests don’t take a winter break. Our warm temperatures, high humidity, and frequent rain create ideal conditions for ants, roaches, spiders, mosquitoes, termites, and rodents all twelve months of the year. Even when you don’t see much activity on the surface, pests can be nesting in wall voids, under slabs, in mulch beds, and in attics waiting for the right conditions to explode in numbers. Seasonal “one-off” sprays may knock them down temporarily, but they rarely provide the long-term protection most homeowners want.
Year-round pest control with Gato focuses on prevention and consistency. Regular visits maintain a strong protective barrier around your home’s perimeter and address any new activity before it becomes a larger problem. This proactive approach is especially important in Orlando, where heavy rains and storm events can drive pests inside and where termites and other wood-destroying organisms stay active nearly all year. A recurring plan gives you ongoing coverage, predictable costs, and the peace of mind that someone is watching out for your home in every season.
Are Gato’s pest control treatments safe for my kids and pets?
Gato Lawn & Pest Control is known as a great choice for families and pet owners because we build our service around safety and responsible product use. Our technicians are trained to use professional-grade materials in a targeted way—focusing on cracks, crevices, and key harborage areas instead of indiscriminately “soaking” your home and yard. We follow all label directions, use application methods designed to limit exposure, and select products that are effective against pests while being appropriate for residential environments.
During each visit, your technician will explain what products are being used, where they will be applied, and how long they need to dry before kids and pets can safely re-enter treated areas. If you have special concerns—such as infants, pregnancy, elderly family members, birds, or sensitive pets—just let us know and we’ll adapt the service to your situation. Many of our long-time customers are pet owners who appreciate that our team treats their animals as part of the family and takes the time to answer every question about safety and precautions.
How does Gato’s pest control service work, and what’s included in a typical visit?
Every service with Gato starts with a careful inspection, not a quick spray-and-go. Your technician will look at the interior, exterior, garage, attic (when accessible), and surrounding landscape to identify active pests, entry points, moisture issues, and conditions that might invite future problems. We then explain what we found in plain language and recommend a customized plan that fits your home, pest pressure, and budget—whether that’s a one-time clean-out or a recurring maintenance program.
A typical general pest control visit focuses on three key areas: (1) targeted interior treatments in cracks, crevices, plumbing penetrations, and other high-risk spots where pests hide; (2) a strong perimeter barrier around the foundation, doors, windows, and other entry points to stop new pests from moving in; and (3) exterior clean-up such as knocking down spider webs and nests we find around the structure. When needed, we integrate termite protection, mosquito treatments, rodent control and exclusion, wildlife removal, or lawn and shrub care into your service plan so you get true whole-property protection from one trusted team.
How soon will I see results from Gato’s pest control service, and what if pests come back?
Many homeowners notice a reduction in pest activity within just a few days of their first treatment. It’s normal to see some increased movement at first as pests come into contact with products and emerge from hiding spots. With a proper initial clean-out followed by regularly scheduled visits, most homes reach a stable, low-activity level and stay there as the exterior barrier is maintained and interior populations are knocked down.
Gato Lawn & Pest Control backs our work with a strong satisfaction focus. If you’re on a recurring plan and see covered pests between scheduled visits, simply call our office and we’ll schedule a follow-up service to address the issue at no additional cost under your agreement. The goal isn’t just to spray and leave—our goal is to keep your home comfortably pest-free month after month, and we stand behind that promise.
What areas does Gato Lawn & Pest Control serve, and do you offer one-time or ongoing plans?
Gato Lawn & Pest Control serves homeowners throughout Orlando and the broader Central Florida region, including Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and select parts of Lake and Polk counties. If you’re not sure whether your home is in our service area, a quick call to our office can confirm coverage and discuss the best options for your property.
We offer both one-time services and ongoing protection plans. One-time services are ideal for sudden issues—like a roach flare-up, ant invasion, or a new rodent problem—when you need immediate relief. Our ongoing plans are designed for homeowners who want year-round peace of mind, with regularly scheduled visits that maintain your exterior barrier and address pests before they become visible problems. You can also bundle services such as general pest control, termite protection, mosquito treatments, rodent and wildlife control, and lawn and shrub care to create a comprehensive, customized program for your home and yard.
