Pest Control Services in Fort Myers

Keeping Unwanted Guests Out of Your Living Space

Fort Myers is a wonderful place to live, but the warm, humid climate that we enjoy is also perfect for a wide variety of pests. From the sudden appearance of a Palmetto Bug in the kitchen to spiders spinning webs in your lanai, keeping nature out of your home can feel like a constant struggle. For many homeowners, over-the-counter sprays provide only a temporary fix, leaving the root of the infestation untouched and allowing pests to return time and time again.

Since 1985, we have provided reliable, professional pest control designed specifically for the unique environment of Southwest Florida. Our locally owned team focuses on creating a barrier of protection around your property, using methods that are tough on bugs but safe for your children and pets. We are here to deliver results you can trust so you can relax in your home.

Common Pests We Treat in Fort Myers

The warm, humid climate of Fort Myers provides the perfect environment for a variety of pests to thrive all year long. Effective pest management here requires in-depth knowledge of these specific intruders. Our services are tailored to control the most common and stubborn pests found in local homes and businesses.

• Ants: From persistent ghost ants trailing through your kitchen to painful fire ants building mounds in your lawn, we use targeted baits and non-repellent barrier sprays to eliminate the entire colony at its source.
• Bees & Wasps: Protect your property from stinging insects with our comprehensive approach.
• Cockroaches: Florida is home to resilient cockroach species, including the large palmetto bug. We focus on treating their hiding places—in cracks, under appliances, and in wall voids—while creating an exterior shield to block their entry.
• Flies: Get rid of persistent fly infestations. We go beyond removal and focus on measures to prevent them from coming back.
• Rodents: We offer services for control and exclusion of common rodents like mice and rats.
• Spiders: We help control common and venomous spiders by removing webs, applying treatments to corners and crevices, and reducing the general insect population that serves as their food source around your property.
• Termites & Other Wood-Destroying Organisms: As a constant threat in our region, we offer thorough inspections and treatments to protect your home's structure from the costly damage caused by termites and other wood-destroying pests.
• Fumigation services: Ask for our fumigation alternatives to secure your yard from unwanted guests.

Our extensive experience with these Fort Myers pests allows us to implement the most effective strategies for your specific situation. We do not just treat the symptoms; we work to solve the root of the problem.

Our General Pest Control Approach

At Security Termite & Pest Control, we don't just spray and walk away; we employ a systematic approach to ensure long-term protection. We understand that every home is different, so we tailor our services to your specific property layout and the specific pest pressures you are facing. Our goal is to stop pests at the perimeter before they ever have a chance to get inside.

• Comprehensive Inspection: We begin by inspecting your home to identify entry points, harborage areas, and conditions that might be attracting pests, such as moisture leaks or vegetation touching the walls.
• Perimeter Barrier Treatment: We apply a protective barrier around the exterior of your foundation, windows, and doors. This "invisible wall" repels pests and prevents new infestations from taking root.
• Interior Treatment (As Needed): While our focus is on exterior prevention, we treat the interior of your home when necessary, using precision targeting in cracks and crevices to minimize chemical exposure.
• De-Webbing: We remove accessible spider webs and wasp nests from the exterior of your home, keeping your eaves and entryways clean and welcoming.

The Importance of Professional Service

Many homeowners assume that they can handle pest control themselves with products from a hardware store. However, DIY methods often lack the residual power needed to withstand the Florida heat and rain. Professional service provides consistent, commercial-grade protection that remains effective for weeks, breaking the breeding cycle of pests rather than just killing the few that you see.

Furthermore, professional technicians are trained to identify early warning signs of more serious issues, such as rodent entry points or conditions conducive to termites. Having a trained eye on your property regularly can prevent minor annoyances from turning into expensive structural damage or health hazards.

Finally, the safety aspect cannot be overstated. Professionals know exactly which products to use and in what quantities to ensure the safety of your household. Misusing pesticides is a common DIY mistake that can put your family and pets at risk. Relying on a licensed expert ensures that your pest problems are solved responsibly and effectively.
