Annual Pest Control

Annual pest control, what does it mean?

When you hire Joy Pest Control to protect your home from insects here is what your annual pest control service includes:

*On your first appointment we remove accessible outlet and switch cover plates and install a product inside the wall voids which keeps killing the bugs year round. At the same time we spray interior baseboards, cabinet bottoms, cracks and crevices with a residual insecticide. Lastly, we install bait stations in the bathroom and kitchen cabinets for roaches.

On the outside we wipe the soffits down removing nests and spider webs. We then treat the base of the home with a 90 day residual insecticide spray and then install a granular insecticide around the perimeter of the home. Every three months we will return to your home to repeat this exterior treatment at no additional cost for the remainder of the year. We will return and treat any active infestation throughout the year at no additional charge.

If you have any further questions please feel free to email or call me anytime.

Ghost Ants

Here in Central Florida we have the ghost ant which is commonly seen in homes around kitchens and bathrooms. These ants are attracted to sugars and sweets.  The first thing people usually do when they are seen is to clean their countertops.  Some people spray the areas with some type of insecticide. Doing either of these is usually a mistake.

While cleaning up helps for future re-infestation, it is best done after they have been properly eliminated.  When you clean, you remove the pheromone(scent) trails that the ants are following. The ants will scatter to new areas in search of food and water.

When you spray the ghost ants with an insecticide while they are foraging for food and water you can actually fragment their colonies and end up with many nests and ghost ants throughout your home.

The best thing to do is call your trusted pest control technician who will properly bait these ghost ants and drive them out of your home.
