Pest Control Services in Tallahassee, FL

When I think of ants, I think of huge piles of ants. You probably have at least one childhood memory of taking a wrong step and being attacked by countless tiny fighters - especially in Florida, where winters are mild and there’s no snow coming after ants.  

The worst part is, when you live in a warmer climate, 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 Tallahassee and we know the in’s and out’s of them! 

Most Common Ants in Tallahassee: 

• Carpenter ants 
• Sugar ants 
• Big-headed ants
• Fire ants 
• Pavement Ants
• Acrobat Ants

Now, let’s talk about how we get rid of them for good. 

To remove the ants from your home, we use bait. This bait is a little bit slow, so this gives the ants time to deliver it to their queen and spread it through the entire colony. 

This can remove a large number of ants from your home, even between the tiny cracks and crevices, however, at Native Pest Management we take it a step further. 

It can be hard to fully get rid of ants in Tallahassee because there’s a reason the ants are there beyond the cake and cookies in your kitchen. 

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 palms and flowers in your yard, and as they feed, they release a sticky substance called honeydew (not the fruit). 

The ants know when there’s honeydew around  - and they love it. So if you see any tiny white flies or other little bugs on your palms or shrubs, you might’ve found the source of your ant problem. 

At Native Pest Management, we kill two birds with one stone by going after all of the insects in Tallahassee that release honeydew, and the ants in your home.

Termites are small wood-destroying insects that thrive in warm climates. This means…you guessed it! Termites are living the dream in Tallahassee homes. 

There are over 2,000 identified species of termites in the world, but only a few cause problems for homeowners, so you don’t need to become a termite expert to know when there’s an issue in your home.

Here’s the run-down: The most common species of termites in the Tallahassee area are eastern subterranean termites and drywood termites. 

Their favorite hobby (chewing wood) can take place in large underground nests. These termite colonies can be huge: They can contain anywhere from 60,000 to 200,000 termites, and some colonies contain more than two million.

And when termites invade your property, they can cause serious structural damage.

The financial consequence of termite damage in the United States adds up to about 5 billion dollars annually. 

To avoid significant termite damage in your home, it’s good to identify the evidence early. 

Signs of termite activity in Tallahassee: 

• Termite wings but no termite - termite wings are loose tiny wings around your windows, doors, and foundation of your home.
• Mud tubes formed by subterranean termites inside  your walls. 
• Termite swarmers flying inside your home.
• Defective floorboards.
• Termite frass (droppings).

If cockroaches were the same size as ants, they probably wouldn’t be a huge deal. 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, also called the Palmetto bug. 

If you ever see tiny cockroaches, those are a different story. While you may suspect they could be babies (which is possible), they’re most likely what are called German cockroaches.

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. 

You can also find Australian cockroaches in Tallahassee, which look similar to American cockroaches but have uniquely distinguished by the yellow lines on their back. 

Although there are sprays and baits branded to kill American cockroaches, German cockroaches and Australian 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 Tallahassee home, here are some effective practices: 

• Keep the moisture down. Cockroaches thrive in warm, damp environments so keep the AC running or consider getting a stronger ventilation system. 
• Keep your trash cans covered and take the trash out every night. 
• Avoid keeping your trash outside right near 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.
