Household pests never rest in Florida. But spring brings its own unique set of problems. Keep reading to learn more about what you can expect from household pests this season in Port St. Lucie. 

Ants

Most people do not realize they have an ant problem until they spot the line of streaming into a box of cereal in their pantry. By this time it’s too late. Killing some ants on your countertop is easy. A bottle of household cleaner can do that. But as most Floridians know, it won’t be long before they are back. To truly solve an ant infestation it’s critical to get the product back to the nest. Few over the counter baits, and virtually all over the counter sprays fail to work at this critical aspect of ant control. 

Green Pest Services uses the best and most modern baits and sprays to effectively control ants on Treasure Coast. Port St Lucie is nearly overrun with big headed ants, while Palm City seems to be a haven for ghost (sugar) ants. Both of these invasive pests require top of the line bait products not found over the counter to achieve control. 

Florida has many different types of ants (big-headed ants, carpenter ants, fire ants, ghost ants, etc.), and each one needs a different kind of treatment. Green Pest Services has the knowledge and tools to effectively control these pests without requiring the overuse of chemicals. 

Roaches

The last thing you want to see in your home is a roach scurrying across the floor of your Florida home. But in Port St. Lucie and Stuart, without regular pest control maintenance it’s almost inevitable. Even though they’re larger than other household pests, they always seem to find a way in! And once your home is infested with them, it is an ongoing battle to get rid of them. 

There are ways you can make your home less hospitable for them: clean up food crumbs, keep pet food up, address any chronic leaks or moisture problems. But the best way to keep roaches out of your home? Hire a professional pest control company to keep your home roach-free.

Rodents

We saved the worst for last. As the Treasure Coast has grown so has the rat population. Years ago when Green Pest Services first opened, rat infestations were typically confirmed to areas with water such as along the river and around golf courses. PGA and St Lucie West have dealt with this issue for years. Today, however, rodent problems are ubiquitous in every area of Port St Lucie, Stuart and Palm City. 

To do our part in combating this problem Green Pest Services now includes rodent bait stations as part of our standard pest control service. The installation of these bait stations helps keep the population of rodents around your home down and eliminate them before they ever find (or create) a way into your attic.
