Delray Beach, FL Pest Control

Ant Control In Delray Beach, FL

Ghost ants, often referred to as sugar ants, are the most common ants in Delray Beach, FL.

If you see very tiny ants in your home, this is most likely the species. Four out of every five houses we treat for ants in Delray Beach, FL, have ghost ants. 

Ghost ants are attracted to your home because insects that feed on plants in the landscape produce honeydew, which ghost ants love to eat. These insects, including scale, whiteflies, and aphids, continue to produce honeydew as long as they feed on your plants. 

No matter how often your exterminator treats your home, that honeydew will continue attracting sugar ants from neighboring properties.

At Native Pest Management, we know how to find the source of ants and how to exterminate sugar ants for good.

Cockroach Control In Delray Beach, FL

The second most common pest is American cockroaches, often called Palmetto bugs. Due to our tropical environment, American roaches are common in Delray Beach, FL.

They usually live outside or in sewers since they prefer humid environments. However, they often end up in homes due to the scent of food.

Roach sprays and cockroach baits sold in local stores likely do not eliminate American cockroaches because these treatments do nothing to target the source of how these roaches are getting inside your home.

They are also contact-kill-only sprays; the gel baits dry out quickly without providing long-term roach prevention. By focusing on insect-proofing homes and eliminating the exterior population of Palmetto Bugs, we can offer guaranteed pest control in Delray Beach, FL, and other nearby towns and cities.

While American cockroaches often frighten people, German cockroaches are more challenging to control. We often see German roaches in restaurants, condos, and apartments.

German roaches are very different from American cockroaches in that they only live indoors. If you think you may have these smaller cockroaches in your home, check the cracks and crevices in your kitchen and bathrooms with a flashlight. You'll likely see them hiding next to appliances or in between cabinets.

German cockroaches multiply so quickly that we have been inside area homes and condos with thousands of them. The presence of these roaches doesn't mean your home is dirty. They don't live outside, so they were brought in by accident, and once they've established themselves, they quickly spread.

In addition to sugar ants and American cockroaches, we commonly see spiders, silverfish, mosquitoes, rats, mice, millipedes, fleas, and fire ants in Delray Beach, FL. Call us today to schedule your free pest control quote!

Mosquito Control In Delray Beach, FL

Mosquitoes can be bad in the Delray Beach, FL area. Really bad. Many areas still undeveloped in the Western portion of Palm Beach County are prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Palm Beach County actually conducts aerial mosquito control in Delray Beach, FL, a couple of times each year to keep mosquitoes from getting completely out of control. While these sprays certainly help, they provide no residual control to stop mosquitoes from invading your property and last only a week or two at best.

At Native Pest Management, we are mosquito control experts. Our Delray Beach, FL mosquito control includes a monthly backpack fogging of your property with a pet-friendly product to eliminate harborage areas in the landscape.

We use an insect growth regulator and a micro-encapsulated insecticide to achieve long-term pest control. Every mosquito control application also includes treating standing water on your property with a biological larvicide to prevent mosquitoes from breeding around your home.

We are so confident that our mosquito control is effective that if you continue to have mosquitoes in between services, we will return at no additional charge to inspect for their source and treat them again.

Termite Control In Delray Beach, FL

Termites in Delray Beach, FL, cause a massive amount of structural wood damage on an annual basis. We are local termite control experts from the subterranean termites that enter your home from the soil to the drywood termite swarmers that leave termite wings on your windowsills.

We specialize in various Delray Beach, FL forms, termite control and prevention, from termite pre-treatments to tent fumigations, termite bait stations, and whole-home no-tent treatments. Our termite control programs are warranted and include free follow-up treatments if needed to eliminate the termites.

Every year, we see more houses in the area infested with the new invasive Formosan termites, often called "super termites." These subterranean termites have large colonies that they are estimated to consume between one and three pounds of wood daily in a standard-sized home.

At Native Pest Management, we regularly treat homes with active Formosan termite infestations and are experts at preventing these super termites from establishing themselves in your home.

Rodent Control In Delray Beach, FL

Roof rats are a major problem in Delray Beach and throughout South Florida. While food is plentiful for them outside, they frequently get into the attics of homes in the area since they are ideal nesting locations. We’ve even seen roof rats get inside new construction homes in communities, including the Bridges and the Seven Bridges before residents have moved in!

The first indication people usually have of a roof rat infestation is scratching sounds in the attic. The easiest way to confirm the presence of roof rats in the attic is to visibly identify their feces, which will be on top of the insulation and AC ducts.

A proper roof rat removal program requires trapping and sealing all potential exterior entry points. Never use rodent bait within the home, as it will likely result in dead rats, making the house smell and not preventing more rats from entering.

Suppose there are no roof rats present in the home. In that case, we recommend a preventative home exclusion combined with rodent reduction via installing and maintaining tamper-proof rodent bait stations in outdoor spaces. These preventative rodent control services allow us to guarantee that rats won't enter your home as long as it is protected by Native Pest Management.
