Pest Control Services We Offer in St. Augustine
We provide a full range of pest control services in St. Augustine, tailored to the specific pest pressures of Northeast Florida’s climate and environment.
General Pest Control
Our general pest control plans protect your home from the most common invaders — cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, and more. We start with a thorough interior and exterior inspection, identify entry points and activity areas, and apply targeted treatments that keep pests out between visits. Recurring quarterly plans are available for year-round protection.
Rodent Control & Exclusion
Rodents are one of the top pest concerns for Florida homeowners, and St. Augustine is no exception. Roof rats in particular are extremely active throughout Northeast Florida. Our rodent control process begins with a full home inspection — including the roof, perimeter, and attic — where we photograph every entry point and every sign of activity. From there, we seal all identified gaps. If an active infestation is present, we set traps and return to check them until the problem is completely resolved.
If you’re hearing noises in the attic or finding droppings, don’t wait. Learn more about our Florida rodent control services.
Termite Treatment
Subterranean termites are a year-round threat in Florida, and St. Augustine’s warm, humid climate makes it especially vulnerable to termite activity. Left untreated, a colony can cause tens of thousands of dollars in structural damage before most homeowners ever notice. Our licensed technicians identify the type of activity, assess the extent of damage, and apply proven treatments to eliminate the colony and protect your home long-term.

Mosquito Control
With marshes, tidal creeks, and heavy seasonal rainfall throughout St. Johns County, mosquitoes are a near-constant nuisance from spring through fall. Our mosquito control treatments target active breeding and resting sites, providing real relief so you can actually enjoy your yard. Recurring seasonal plans keep mosquito populations suppressed all season long.
Additional Pest Services
We also treat for ants, spiders, earwigs, silverfish, centipedes, fleas, and more. If something is bugging you, there’s a good chance we can take care of it. Call us and we’ll tell you exactly what we can do.
Pests Common to St. Augustine Homes
Northeast Florida has its own pest character. Here’s what St. Augustine homeowners deal with most often:
Cockroaches & Palmetto Bugs
The American cockroach — what Floridians call the palmetto bug — thrives in the warm, humid conditions throughout St. Johns County. They enter homes through gaps under doors, utility penetrations, and cracks in the foundation. German cockroaches are an indoor species that spreads rapidly in kitchens and bathrooms. Both require targeted professional treatment to eliminate effectively.
Rodents
Roof rats are the dominant rodent species in coastal Northeast Florida. They’re agile climbers that enter homes through the roofline, soffits, and any gap larger than a quarter. According to the University of Florida IFAS Extension, roof rats are among the most common commensal rodents in Florida and can cause serious damage to wiring, insulation, and structural materials. Norway rats are less common in this area but do appear, particularly near water sources.
Subterranean Termites
Eastern subterranean termites are present throughout St. Johns County and are the most destructive termite species in North America. They build mud tubes along foundations and wall voids to reach wood above ground, and a mature colony can have hundreds of thousands of workers feeding around the clock. The EPA recommends professional inspection and licensed treatment for any suspected termite activity — DIY options simply don’t have the reach or residual needed to stop a colony.
Mosquitoes & No-See-Ums
The tidal marshes that make St. Augustine so scenic also create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes and no-see-ums (biting midges). No-see-ums in particular are a persistent issue in coastal communities — their bites are disproportionately irritating for insects their size, and standard bug spray is often ineffective against them. Professional treatment targeting resting and breeding sites is the most reliable solution.
Ants
Ghost ants, fire ants, and carpenter ants are all active in St. Johns County. Ghost ants are especially common inside St. Augustine homes, trailing through kitchens and bathrooms in search of moisture and food. Fire ants are an outdoor nuisance with a painful sting. Carpenter ants, while less structurally destructive than termites, can still damage wood framing if an infestation is left to grow.
