Mosquito Control In Indian River County, FL

If you’re like most Indian River County residents, you’re conditioned to being 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.

While it’s almost guaranteed to get bitten on a camping trip, you shouldn’t have to worry about them while relaxing on your patio, or especially in the comfort of your South Florida home.

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 Indian River County are most active.

If you’re worried about the mosquitoes around your Indian River County home, Native Pest Management is happy to help eliminate those worries. We can use backpack fogging and the application of biological larviciees to remove the mosquitoes from your home in a pet friendly, eco-friendly way.

Once we’re done you can live comfortably without mosquitoes in Indian River County, FL.

Rodent Control In Indian River County, FL

Introducing: “Fast and Curious.”

Just kidding, that’s probably one of the most ironically horrifying movie ideas on the market. No one hopes to see rodents in their South Florida Home, but unfortunately, they’re one of the most common home-invading pests in the Indian River County area.

Luckily, the mice or rats in your home aren’t out to hurt you. But they are after your food, water, and shelter.

Rats reproduce about 6 times a year, while for mice and can range from 5-10 times. This might not seem that crazy but it’s still about 5-10 times the speed of humans.

This rate is high enough that once they get into your home, it can be very difficult to get rid of them. At a certain point, you need professional help and that’s where Native Pest Management comes in handy.

But first comes first: The advice. Here are our best prevention strategies that will eliminate rodents from your Indian River County home:

Eliminate clutter. As much as possible from both the inside and outside  of your home.

Keep food - whether it’s for people or pets - out of reach from tiny claws. Seal what you can in airtight containers or bags.

Clean! We know sometimes it’s tough to keep things in tip-top shape but taking care of counters, floors and food prep areas can make a huge difference.

Keep things sealed. Garbage cans, vents, and any gaps and crevices are sure to catch the attention of any mice or rats.

For vents, consider covering them with mesh or screening.

But don’t worry, if you’re already seeing rats or mice in your home, you can leave it to the best professional pest control technicians Indian River County.

Native Pest Management is ready to protect your home from rats, mice and everything in between with guaranteed rodent control.

Cockroach Control In Indian River County, 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 Indian River County. 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 Indian River County 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.

Termite Control In Indian River County, FL

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

Here’s a fun fact: 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 Indian River County  area are eastern subterranean 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, try to identify the signs early. Here is what you can look out for:

• Discarded termite wings - these are loose tiny wings around your windows, doors, and foundation of your home.
• Mud tubes formed by subterranean termites inside  your walls.
