Flea and Tick

Fleas and ticks are persistent and potentially dangerous pests. Fleas lay their eggs inside and outside and they hatch over an extended period of time. Simply treating your pet alone cannot control fleas because their eggs are everywhere and will hatch and re-infest your pet. Since they cannot run, hop or fly, ticks spend most of their time on or near the ground, hoping to snag onto something such as your pet or a human’s sock. The best way to prevent these types of insects from causing a potential health problem to you and your pet is to treat the lawn area where insects live and lay their eggs.

Rodent Control

Ft. Lauderdale rodents love trash, plain and simple. If you get your garbage under control, there’s a good chance the rodents will be under control too. Most Ft. Lauderdale home invasions occur in the fall, not because of cooler weather, but because the seeds and plants on which rodents feed on outside are gone.
Controlling Ft. Lauderdale rodents starts by conducting a thorough inspection of your home checking for all possible entry points. Once found these entry points must be sealed tight. Rodents are excellent climbers and are capable of gaining entry through tiny holes around soffit vents and around any cables or wires entering the building, through holes in gable vent screens, and through turbine and box vents on roofs. Many garage doors in Ft. Lauderdale allow enough space for rodents to easily fit underneath.

Fig Whitefly Control

There is a new pest attacking ficus trees and hedges in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. This pest is the fig (ficus) whitefly. Whiteflies are small, winged insects that belong to the Order Hemiptera which also includes aphids, scales, mealybugs, and bugs. These Ft. Lauderdale pests typically feed on the underside of leaves with their “needle-like” mouthparts. Whiteflies can seriously injure Ft. Lauderdale plants by sucking juices from them causing wilting, yellowing, stunting, leaf drop, or even death.
