Florida is known for its warm weather all year round.  It has always drawn people in from all over the U.S. and now with the current housing market, Florida is in even more in demand. 

Unfortunately, Florida’s pleasant weather also attracts non-humans too. Pests such as termites, rodents, ants, and other insects can be a big nuisance and difficult to combat year-round.

However, your ongoing battle against pests is not impossible. Here are a few common pests that homeowners should be aware of.

Termites

Termites in South Florida are every homeowner’s worst nightmare because they can destroy the structure of the home. There are distinct kinds of termites to consider  – drywood and subterranean.

Drywood termites typically receive their nutrients by eating through wood slowly and take a while to cause structural damage.

On the other hand, subterranean termites are the most destructive since they form large colonies that will quickly eat through wood.

Hire the trained termite team at Florida Pest Control Center to solve this problem in your home.

Rodents

Rodents, rats and mice can be one of the scariest pests to have in your home because they are much larger than just a termite or ant.

Rodents in South Florida will find ways into your home – a small opening in a wall, through the roof, or any small hole in your house. 

Ants, Ants, Ants

In South Florida there are many varieties of ants and Carpenter ants are one of the most frustrating pests in homes.  These ants typically will create messy nests inside wood no matter if it is moist or dry.  They also pose a threat to your food safety and can create problems in your daily life as they are quickly multiple if left untreated.

Any pest control budget should cover annual treatment for carpenter ants to prevent an infestation in your home.

Spiders

Seeing these eight-legged, web spinning pests can be very unsettling.

The spiders around South Florida primarily spread webs outside of a home and around the landscaping areas.  There are times that they can make their way inside your home through small openings or when a door is open. It is best to limit nesting places inside by cleaning often and avoiding dust or other debris from building up in your home.

Mosquitos

Mosquitos are a true annoyance all around South Florida during any season of the year, but especially during the summer months when there are heavy amounts of rain which mosquitos are most attracted to.  They also pose a risk to your health since they can carry illnesses such as the West Nile virus.
