Our Pest Control and Extermination Services in Fort Myers
Ant control, ant extermination, and carpenter ant removal
Ants are persistent invaders in Fort Myers, often driven indoors by heavy rains or extreme heat. When you see a few ants on your counter, it is usually a sign of a much larger colony hidden within your walls or landscape. Effective ant control requires more than just spraying the visible insects; it demands a strategy to reach the nesting site. We handle various local species, including sugar ants that seek moisture and carpenter ants that can damage wood structures. Ignoring an ant trail can lead to contaminated food and frustration, making professional intervention necessary for lasting relief.
Common signs and problems we handle:
- Trails of small ants in kitchens or bathrooms
- Large black ants seen near window sills or door frames
- Piles of wood shavings or frass near baseboards
- Ant mounds appearing in the driveway or patio cracks
- Winged ants swarming inside the home
- Recurring ants even after cleaning surfaces
- Ants nesting in potted plants or lanai areas
How we approach treatment:
We begin with a detailed inspection to identify the specific ant species and locate their entry points. Our team uses pest tracking methods to follow trails back to the source. We utilize integrated pest management techniques, applying baiting systems that allow worker ants to carry the treatment back to the queen, effectively eliminating the colony. We also focus on exclusion techniques for pests, sealing small cracks where they enter, and providing sanitation guidance to make your home less attractive to future invaders.
Bed bug eradication and treatment planning
Bed bugs are a source of anxiety for any household. These hitchhikers can enter your home on luggage, used furniture, or clothing, and they hide in the smallest crevices of mattresses and furniture. A bed bug infestation grows rapidly, and DIY methods often fail because they do not kill the eggs. Immediate bed bug eradication is essential to restore your peace of mind and sleep quality. We understand the sensitive nature of this problem and approach every case with discretion and a methodical plan.
Common signs and problems we handle:
- Waking up with itchy red bites in rows
- Tiny dark spots or blood stains on sheets
- Discarded skins or shells near the mattress piping
- A musty or sweet odor in the bedroom
- Live bugs hiding in drawer joints or electrical outlets
- White oval eggs in furniture crevices
How we approach treatment:
Our process starts with a room by room inspection to determine the extent of the infestation. We do not rely on guesswork. We implement targeted extermination services designed to penetrate the hiding spots where bed bugs breed. Our strategy involves multiple treatment angles to ensure we address adults, nymphs, and eggs. We also provide you with a clear preparation list and follow up guidance to prevent reintroduction, ensuring that your home remains a sanctuary.
Roach extermination and roach infestation control
Cockroaches thrive in the humid climate of Southwest Florida. Whether it is the large American cockroach often called a Palmetto bug or the smaller, rapidly breeding German cockroach, these pests pose health risks by spreading bacteria and allergens. They often inhabit kitchens, bathrooms, and areas with moisture issues. Roach extermination is critical not just for comfort but for maintaining a sanitary environment for your family. We tackle roach infestation control with aggressive methods suited for the severity of the problem.
Common signs and problems we handle:
- Droppings that look like pepper or coffee grounds
- Unpleasant oily or musty smells
- Seeing roaches scatter when lights are turned on
- Egg cases or oothecae found in cabinets
- Roaches gathering behind refrigerators or under sinks
- Allergy symptoms flaring up indoors
How we approach treatment:
We focus on breaking the reproductive cycle of the roach population. After identifying the species, we use a combination of insect growth regulators and baiting systems. We pay special attention to plumbing voids and appliances where roaches congregate. Our team emphasizes pest prevention by identifying moisture leaks and sanitation issues that sustain the population. By removing their food and water sources while applying targeted treatments, we achieve effective elimination of pests.
Spider removal and indoor pest control support
While many spiders are harmless, seeing them in your home can be unsettling, and certain species generally found in Florida can deliver painful bites. Spiders often enter homes searching for other insects to eat, meaning a spider problem can indicate an underlying pest issue. Spider removal is about creating a secure perimeter and removing the webs that make a property look neglected. In areas with pool cages and lanais, spider activity can be particularly high, requiring consistent attention.
Common signs and problems we handle:
- Webs in corners of rooms or near ceilings
- Spiders hiding in shoes or closets
- Cobwebs accumulating on outdoor light fixtures
- Large spiders seen in garages or sheds
- Egg sacs attached to furniture or webbing
- Bites occurring after moving boxes or storage items
How we approach treatment:
Our technicians sweep down accessible webs to remove hiding spots and egg sacs immediately. We treat cracks and crevices where spiders retreat during the day. By reducing the population of other insects around your home, we naturally reduce the spider population. We also apply barrier treatments around windows, doors, and the foundation to deter new spiders from entering. Our approach ensures indoor pest control remains effective throughout the year.
Flea treatment and tick removal for safer living spaces
Fleas and ticks are a major concern for pet owners and parents in Fort Myers, especially during the warmer months. These pests reside in tall grass and sandy soil, hitching a ride indoors on pets or clothing. Fleas can infest carpets and bedding quickly, while ticks carry serious health risks. Professional flea treatment and tick removal are vital to protecting your family and pets from bites and diseases. We treat both the interior and exterior to ensure the lifecycle is completely disrupted.
Common signs and problems we handle:
- Pets scratching or biting their fur excessively
- Small dark bugs jumping from carpets or furniture
- Red itchy bites around ankles and legs
- Ticks found attached to pets or family members
- Flea dirt or small black specks in pet bedding
- Larvae found in floor cracks or rug fibers
How we approach treatment:
We utilize comprehensive pest eradication solutions that target fleas and ticks at every stage of development. Inside, we treat floors, upholstery, and pet resting areas with products that stop larvae from maturing. Outside, we focus on shaded areas, shrubs, and turf where these pests wait for a host. We work with you to coordinate treatment with your pet grooming or veterinary care to ensure a synchronized effort against these persistent parasites.
Termite inspection, termite treatment, and long term protection
In Florida, termites are a constant threat to property value. Subterranean termites can silently consume the structural wood of your home for years before damage becomes visible. Given the moisture levels in our area, wood structures are particularly vulnerable. Termite inspection is not just a service; it is a necessity for protecting your biggest investment. Our termite treatment plans are designed to intercept these wood destroying organisms before they compromise the integrity of your home.
Common signs and problems we handle:
- Mud tubes climbing up foundation walls
- Hollow sounding wood when tapped
- Discarded wings near windows or doors
- Bubbling or uneven paint looking like water damage
- Frass or wood pellets resembling sawdust
- Doors or windows becoming hard to close
How we approach treatment:
We conduct rigorous inspections of the foundation, crawlspace, and attic to detect early warning signs. Our treatment options may include liquid defense zones or baiting systems, depending on your property’s construction and needs. We focus on creating a continuous barrier that termites cannot breach. We also provide guidance on reducing moisture around the foundation, which is a key attractant for termite colonies, ensuring long term pest control and structural safety.
Rodent removal, mice extermination, and rat control
Rodents such as roof rats and house mice are common in our area, often seeking shelter in attics during cooler nights or storm seasons. They can squeeze through impossibly small openings and cause significant damage by chewing on electrical wires and insulation. Rodent removal requires a strategic approach because these pests are intelligent and cautious. Effective mice extermination and rat control stops the immediate noise and damage while preventing future entry.
Common signs and problems we handle:
- Scratching or scurrying noises in ceilings or walls
- Gnaw marks on food packaging or baseboards
- Droppings found in cupboards or attics
- Nesting material like shredded paper or insulation
- Rub marks or dark grease smudges along walls
- Ammonia like odors in hidden areas
How we approach treatment:
We do not just set traps and leave. Our team performs a full property assessment to find entry points, from roof vents to gaps in the siding. We employ rodent barrier installation and exclusion techniques for pests to physically block their access. While we use trapping and removal to handle the current population, our primary focus is on pest proofing the structure. We also help identify sanitation issues outdoors, such as unsecured trash or fruit tree debris, that attract rodents to your yard.
Pest Prevention, Proofing, and Periodic Inspections
Stopping pests before they become a full blown infestation is the most efficient way to manage your property. Pest prevention is a proactive discipline that saves you time and stress in the long run. At Pest Control Xperts, we believe in a holistic approach that goes beyond reactive spraying. We offer pest proofing services that physically modify your home to make it impenetrable to unwanted guests. This includes sealing cracks, installing door sweeps, and addressing moisture issues that attract insects.
We also specialize in periodic pest inspections. Florida’s climate allows pests to breed year round, meaning a one time treatment is rarely enough for permanent control. Our pest assessment services provide regular checkups to catch new activity early. We monitor for termite mud tubes, fresh rodent rub marks, or signs of ant trails during every visit. This consistent oversight allows us to adjust our strategies based on the season and current pest pressure.
For families concerned about harsh chemicals, we offer options that align with modern safety standards. While some may ask for green pest control or organic pest control, we focus on Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This method emphasizes inspection, sanitation, and physical barriers first, using chemical treatments only when necessary and in targeted amounts. We can utilize pest repellents, baiting systems, and non toxic pest control monitoring tools to manage populations effectively. Whether you are looking for environmentally friendly pest control approaches or robust barrier defenses, our goal is safe pest management that protects your home without unnecessary exposure.

Thorough pest inspection and root cause pest management
We do not believe in cookie cutter sprays. Every service begins with a comprehensive inspection to understand why pests are present. By identifying the root cause, whether it is a moisture leak or a broken vent screen, we solve the problem at its source rather than just treating the symptoms.
Respect for the home and clear communication

Professional Pest Control vs DIY Approaches
Many homeowners attempt to handle pest problems themselves, only to find the infestation returning weeks later. While DIY approaches can seem convenient, they often fail to address the underlying infestation. Store bought sprays typically only kill the insects you can see, leaving the nest or colony untouched. In the case of ants or roaches, certain over the counter products can actually scatter the pests, pushing them deeper into the walls and making the problem harder to solve.
Professional pest control and extermination services utilize products and methods that are not available to the general public. We have the training to identify subtle signs of nesting sites that an untrained eye might miss. For serious threats like termites or bed bugs, professional intervention is critical to prevent expensive structural damage or prolonged emotional stress. Furthermore, safety is a major concern. We know how to apply products safely around children and pets, avoiding the overuse or misuse common with DIY efforts. By utilizing exclusion techniques for pests and pest proofing your home, we provide results that last, rather than a temporary fix.

How do I prepare my home before treatment?
Preparation depends on the specific pest. For general service, simply clearing access to baseboards and removing clutter helps. For specialized services like bed bug eradication or flea treatment, we will provide a specific checklist, which may include laundering bedding or vacating the property for a few hours.
How do I prevent pests from coming back?

Tips for preventing rodent infestations in winter?
As temperatures drop, rodents seek warmth. We recommend sealing all exterior cracks larger than a dime, checking weather stripping around doors, and keeping trees trimmed back from the roofline. Removing outdoor food sources like fallen fruit also helps deter them.
What to do if you find a wasp nest in your attic?
Finding stinging insects in an enclosed space like an attic is dangerous. Do not attempt to remove it yourself. Contact us immediately so our technicians can safely remove the nest using protective gear and specialized equipment to prevent stings.
