Living in Florida we are known for our variety of pests, from insects to wildlife, we truly are home to it all. This can be great as nature is enjoyable; however, pests always come with some problems when they intrude in our homes or property. While we can’t control the occasional roach or ant seen in our homes, we can get rid of infestations. An infestation is when there is an abnormally large number of insects or animals in a place, or in this case your home. When this happens it can traumatic and disturbing for those who have to leave with it. Not only are these pests and animals unsightly in the home, but they also can do a lot of home damage and carry diseases. This can be a very expensive and unhealthy problem to have. When it comes to an infestation the only way you can stop it is through extermination methods. This brings us to the most common question we get asked here at Quality Pest Control, what kinds of pests are we able to help out with.

Here at Quality Pest Control in Cape Coral, Florida, we can help out with many different kinds of pests. We understand how horrible leaving in an infestation can be and will try and use all of our resources to help you out. Whether you know you have an infestation or are just suspicious of one, we are here for you.

Cockroaches

One of the worst infestations to deal with are cockroach infestations. These pests are known by their large in size appearance and dark-colored shell. Roaches are known to come out at night, making it harder to know if they are infesting your home. These pests like to hide in narrow areas such as walls, beneath carpets and mats, and drains.

Termites

Termites infestations do not happen as often as some of the others, but they can do some of the worst damage. These pests like to live inside the walls of your home and will feed on anything with wood. This can spell out to be a lot of trouble for those with wood furniture and foundations in their home. Termites are recognizable by how they travel in swarms and their unique droppings.

Ants

While ants are one of the most harmless kinds of infestations to have, they can be frustrating. Ants are those pests that never seem to go away no matter how hard we all try. From all of the baits and traps out there, you would think there was a better way to get rid of them, but extermination is the only real way. You’ll know you have an infestation on your hands when you see these pests in large amounts wandering around your home.

Honey Bees

Honey bees have garnered more and more attention in the past years after making the endangered species list. These pests do not mean any harm; however, they do tend to slip into our homes sometimes. If you can avoid killing any of these bees we would recommend that, although, we understand that sometimes we cannot avoid spraying them. If you begin to notice an increase in honey bees on your property give us a call and will come on out and safely relocate them for you. This way you and the bees remain safe and unharmed.

Wildlife

Wildlife extermination and removal are some of the least commonly used services we offer. While people do not tend to think of wildlife when they think of Florida, we still have many critters that can be pesky. Animals such as raccoons have been known to cause many problems on people’s property with their homes and their trash. If you have seen a raccoon constantly rummaging through your trash then it may be time to have us safely remove the raccoon for you.

If you think you may be dealing with an infestation but are unsure, it’s never a bad idea to give us a call. Our team can come on out to your home and exam the property for any bugs or infestations. Best case scenario you were overly cautious and have peace of mind, worst case scenario we find an infestation and can discuss extermination options with you. When it comes to pests, it’s always better to be safe and protect your home and health than to be sorry.
