Services

General pest control

General pest control

Extermination of bugs, insects and rodents for homes and businesses, with a thorough interview and evaluation of the existing environment before any project is taken on so the program fits the property. Most treating and baiting is done outside first, with minimal products used inside. Recurring maintenance pest control can be scheduled on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or bi-monthly basis.

Ant control

Ant control

Treatment for the ant species common in South Florida, including ghost ants, fire ants, carpenter ants, crazy ants, big-headed ants and white-footed ants. Carpenter ants are handled as a specialty because they are notoriously difficult to remove from homes in the warm local climate.

Roach and palmetto bug extermination

Roach and palmetto bug extermination

Elimination of German roaches, palmetto bugs and other cockroaches, followed by a customized plan for the home so the pests do not come back. German roaches forage at night around food debris, and palmetto bugs move indoors looking for dry shelter when it rains.

Rodent control

Rodent control

Mice and rat extermination for homes and properties, with ongoing protection so the rodents do not return. Rural and equestrian areas such as Wellington see heavier rodent pressure because of open land and horse stables nearby.

Termite control

Termite control

Treatment for the two termite types found in Florida: subterranean termites, which need moist environments and live mostly in soil and leave mud tubes, and drywood termites, which prefer very dry wood.

FAQs

How often should I have pest control service?
Bimonthly service, meaning every other month, is usually the most efficient. Protective Pest Control can also schedule routine maintenance pest control on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis depending on what the property needs. Year-round service is recommended in Florida, because the damp and humid climate lets insects thrive all year and regular treatment prevents future problems.
Does the company guarantee its work?
Yes. Protective Pest Control offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if you are on a recurring service plan that is up to date the work is guaranteed. All services under contract are conditionally guaranteed, so if you are not completely satisfied the company will re-treat your property completely free of charge.
Are the products safe to use around my family and pets?
The company uses only EPA approved products, and the products it uses are described as odorless and safe and are labeled for indoor and outdoor use. Most of the baiting and treating is done outside first, with minimal sprays and products used inside. Professional treatment is also more targeted than a bug bomb, because it focuses precisely where pests live, travel and reproduce rather than releasing pesticide indiscriminately.
Can you just treat the outside of my house?
Sometimes, but Protective Pest Control strongly recommends treating both the exterior and the interior of the home during the initial service. Insects come from outside, so most of the baiting and treating is done outdoors, with minimal sprays and products used inside.
Do I need to clean my house before the technician arrives?
No. Your home does not have to be spotless, though dusting, vacuuming and general tidying up help the technician work efficiently. It is worth cleaning up food debris, cleaning under appliances and emptying trash cans before the visit.
What kind of termites do you deal with in Florida?
Subterranean termites and drywood termites. Drywood termites prefer very dry wood, while subterranean termites require moist living environments and live mostly in soil. Subterranean termites generally show evidence of tunneling into the wood and build what are known as mud tubes.
How often should my lawn and ornamentals be treated for weeds?
For most South Florida properties the company recommends professional weed treatment for lawns and ornamental areas approximately every 6 to 8 weeks. That schedule lets the team monitor changing conditions, deal with newly emerging weeds and help stop small problems spreading through the landscape.
Will rain wash the treatment away?
No. Many of the products used are moisture resistant once they have been applied and dried. Rain does tend to drive palmetto bugs indoors as they look for dry shelter, which is a common reason homeowners call after a storm.
