Ant Control In Port St. Lucie, FL

When I think of ants, I think of ant piles. You probably have at least one memory of taking a wrong step and being overrun with countless tiny fighters - especially if you live in Port St. Lucie.

The worst part is, even if you stomp on them until you’re out of breath, they always seem to be back the next day.

There are several different types of ants in Port St. Lucie and although their small size makes them difficult to distinguish.

Here are some key features you can look for to identify them:

• Carpenter ants are likely to be found around wood, since that’s where they build their nests.  
• Ghost ants have dark heads and translucent bodies, making them appear even smaller than they are. 
• Sugar ants have black heads and orangish-brown bodies. They love sugar, so they’re likely to be found inside the home. 
• Bigheaded ants have big heads…Ok that’s not actually all there is to them. They’re a reddish-brown color and like to use soil to build their nests. 
• Fire ants have a venomous sting that can cause skin irritation and swelling. Luckily, their red color makes them a little easier to spot. 
• Acrobat ants have shiny bodies that can range in color from light red to brown, to black. What really separates them from the others is that they will hold their abdomens above their heads when disturbed. 
• Pharaoh ants are yellow or light brown and will form nests almost anywhere in your house, from the walls all the way up to the ceiling.

Now that you know a little more about the types of ants in Port St. Lucie, let’s talk about how we can eliminate them.

To remove the ants from your home, we give them bait to eat. This bait is a little bit slow, so this gives the ants time to deliver it to their queen as well.

This can remove a large number of ants from your home, however, at Native Pest Management, we also go after the source.

It’s difficult to fully get rid of ants in Port St. Lucie not because they’re hard to kill, but because they keep coming back if you don’t eliminate the source. This source is a chain reaction that starts with a symbiotic relationship between ants and insects like scale, whiteflies, and aphids.

These aphids and other bugs like to hang out and chew on the beautiful plants in your yard, and as they feed, they release a sticky substance called honeydew (not the fruit). 

The ants eat the honeydew - and they love it! Ants will protect any insect that releases honeydew, so as long as these tiny scale insects, whiteflies, and aphids are around your yard, ghost ants, sugar ants, fire ants, carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, and acrobat ants will be in and around your house. 

At Native Pest Management, we go after all of the insects in Port St. Lucie that release honeydew. After that, you can kiss all your current and future ant problems goodbye. 

Leave it to the professionals at Native Pest Management to eliminate the ants in your Port St. Lucie home, and prevent ants from infesting ever again in the future. Call us today for your free pest control quote! 

Cockroach Control In Port St. Lucie, FL

If cockroaches were the same size as ants, they would probably be much less scary looking and maybe even less annoying. But unfortunately, they are a certified Big Bug that can cause quite a few issues. 

When you imagine a cockroach, you’ll most likely think of the American cockroach, a.k.a the Palmetto bug. 

These are most common in hot, humid climates like Port St. Lucie. American cockroaches are a reddish-brown and have a hint of yellow on them. 

The tiny cockroaches, if you see them, are different. While you may suspect they could be babies, those are called German cockroaches. These are typically a tan color with dark lines that run parallel across their bodies. 

German cockroaches can reproduce quickly, so they’re even more difficult to control than American cockroaches. They also only live indoors, typically near appliances or in between cabinets, while American cockroaches thrive outside. 

Although there are sprays and baits branded to kill American cockroaches and German cockroaches, those are not a long-term solution.

If you spray away all the cockroaches you see in your house, the cockroaches will still come back. This is because it’s the source of the cockroaches that needs to be targeted, which can be tricky to identify.

If you want to try controlling the source of cockroaches in your Port St. Lucie home, here are some effective practices:

• Control the humidity in your home. Cockroaches thrive in warm, damp environments so keep the AC running or consider ventilating areas as needed. 
• Keep your trash cans covered and take the trash out regularly. 
• Avoid keeping your trash outside right beside your home. American cockroaches will sense it, snack on it, and then go inside to see what else your home has to offer.

If you’re looking for a guaranteed elimination of all your cockroach worries, leave it to us to help give you your peace of mind back. 

Mosquito Control In Port St. Lucie, FL

If you’re like most Port St. Lucie residents, you’re conditioned to be raided by the mosquito population in the warmest times of the year. 

You can probably identify a mosquito bite all too well and have mosquito spray in your house somewhere, ready to go for your next outdoor Florida excursion.

There are a few reasons why you could be having issues with mosquitoes around your home. 

Here are a few ways to control them yourself: 

• Remove anything from your yard that could be pooling water. Mosquitoes use any still, standing water to breed so your flower pots, watering cans or bird baths could be helping them multiply.
• Clean out your gutters regularly, if they get clogged with standing water mosquitoes will breed in them.
• Apply larvicides to standing water to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
• Avoid wearing strong fragrance perfumes or lotion. Floral scents specifically are a major mosquito attractant. 
• Stay inside during dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes in Port St. Lucie are most active.

Whitefly Control in Port St. Lucie, FL

One of the wonderful things about living in Port St. Lucie is that you can garden year-round. While not everything grows all year, each season you can find something to grow. Basil, avocados and tomatoes are just a few of many things you can plant throughout Port St. Lucie and the rest of South Florida.

One important matter to understand when building a garden is whiteflies. Whiteflies love to destroy gardens by causing the leaves turn yellow, dry up, and fall off. Make sure you learn the proper whitefly control methods for your garden so that all of your hard work doesn't go to waste.

Besides the whitefly damage to your garden, whiteflies don't just affect vegetables, they will also go after your other landscaping including ficus plants and palm trees.

Whitefly damage will cause what's called sooty mold, caused by honeydew production of whiteflies. Honeydew is a sugary substance produced by sap-sucking insects including whiteflies, as well as mealybugs and aphids. As these insects produce honeydew, the honeydew will start to cover your plants. Eventually, it will turn into sooty mold, which is a layer of fungus that looks like soot.

This honeydew also causes ant infestations. Since ants love the sugar in honeydew, they will do just about anything to get it. This will lead to ants infesting areas that contain honeydew, and those ants entering your home for more sugar.
