Ant Control In Wellington, FL

Sugar ants, specifically ghost ants, are the most common ants in Wellington homes and businesses. These very tiny ants come from outdoors but can also nest within structures.

Bugs like aphids, scale, mealybugs, and whiteflies consume nutrients from the shrubs and palm trees around your home. These bugs then secrete honeydew, a primary food source for ants. Treating shrubs and palms eliminates the food source attracting ants to your home.

Inside the home, ants are usually first seen in the kitchen or bathrooms since they are attracted to water sources. They often colonize wall voids, so most ant sprays are ineffective at killing the colonies. Contact kill sprays do more harm than good since they can cause ant colonies to split into multiple colonies.

Popular baits typically don’t work either since the active ingredient is so low that it cannot completely kill the colonies in and around homes and businesses. Big-headed ants, for instance, have over a million ants in a single colony, so a small amount of bait will not even put a minor dent into their population. 

Termite Control In Wellington, FL

Termites in Wellington cause a massive amount of structural wood damage annually. From the subterranean termites that enter your home from the soil to the drywood termite swarmers that leave termite wings on your windowsills, we are your local termite control experts.

With the recent outbreak of Formosan termites in South Florida, termites damage more homes yearly. Formosan termite colonies are much more destructive than other species due to their colony size and ability to cause rapid damage. Large Formosan termite colonies can consume 1–3 pounds of wood in a standard-size home daily!

We specialize in various Wellington, FL, termite control and prevention forms, from termite pre-treatments to tent fumigations, termite bait stations and whole-home no-tent treatments. Our termite control comes with a warranty.

Cockroach Control In Wellington, FL

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

American cockroaches live outside or in sewers. However, they end up in homes looking for food and shelter. Roach sprays and baits sold in local stores usually do not control American cockroaches because these treatments do nothing to target the source of how they get inside your home.

Our team focuses on insect-proofing homes and eliminating the exterior population of Palmetto Bugs in Wellington, FL, and other nearby towns.

While American cockroaches often frighten people, German cockroaches are more challenging to control. We see German roaches in restaurants, condos, and apartments. They are very different from American cockroaches in that they only live in households. 

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 between cabinets.

Fire Ant Control In Wellington, FL

Wellington is unique in South Florida because it is known for its equestrian community and hosting numerous sports events. Every year, thousands of riders and tourists from all over the world come to Wellington for its Winter Equestrian Festival, the largest horse show in the world. With the International Polo Club located in Wellington and new facilities and expansions every year, we expect the number of tourists and seasonal residents to continue to increase.

With many horses entering the area yearly, fire ants in Wellington can cause concern. At Native Pest Management, we have a quarterly fire ant program designed specifically for horse farms and paddocks.

We only use products labeled as safe for grazing for fire ant control and guarantee all treatments. Contact us today to schedule a free fire ant inspection.

Rodent Control In Wellington, FL

Rodents are ubiquitous in the Wellington area. The main rodents that can get into homes and barns are roof rats and mice. While roof rats are widespread throughout South Florida, mice are not.

Mice are so prevalent mainly because hay imported from out of state can contain live mice. Roof rats have tails longer than their bodies and a body about the same size as a squirrel. Juvenile roof rats are often mistaken for mice.

Roof rats climb well and nest above ground in trees and attics. They are nocturnal, so if they are present, they can be heard in attics at night and seen outside as well.

Since mice are much smaller than rats, they can fit tiny holes to get into homes and barns that roof rats cannot fit through. Mice droppings are visibly smaller than roof rat droppings.

For rodent control in Wellington, we recommend a rat trapping program and rodent proofing be completed on your home if rodents are currently inside. Our rodent-proofing program is guaranteed and includes securing roof vents and other areas used as rodent entry points.

If rodents are not yet inside your home, we recommend installing and maintaining tamper-proof bait stations on the exterior of your home in addition to rodent-proofing the home.
