Our solution forms a protective barrier to keep spiders, ants, and other crawling insects outside where they belong.
Ants are highly social insects that live in complex colonies, often consisting of thousands of individuals working together to forage for food, protect the nest, and care for the queen. In Southwest Florida, species like fire ants, ghost ants, and carpenter ants thrive in the warm, humid climate, frequently invading homes and outdoor living spaces in search of moisture and food sources containing sweets or proteins.
Worker ants leave invisible pheromone trails for others to follow, which is why they frequently appear in long lines leading directly to a food source.
Many ant species build their nests outdoors under rocks, in decaying wood, or deep in the soil, making them difficult to fully eradicate without locating and treating the main colony.
Spiders are arachnids that serve as natural predators, feeding on a variety of smaller insects within their local ecosystem. While most species found around residential properties are harmless and prefer to remain hidden in dark, undisturbed areas, their webs and sudden appearances can be a significant nuisance to homeowners. They typically enter structures through small cracks, weeping holes, or gaps around windows and doors, seeking shelter and pursuing prey that has already migrated indoors.
Not all spiders spin webs to catch prey; species like the wolf spider are active hunters that chase down their food on the ground.
Keeping outdoor lighting turned off or switching to yellow bug lights reduces the number of flying insects attracted to a property, which in turn naturally limits the spider population.
No see-ums, also known as biting midges or sand gnats, are notoriously tiny flying insects that are highly prevalent in coastal regions and marshlands. These pests require moist environments to breed, making the muddy shores, mangroves, and damp soil of Southwest Florida an ideal habitat. Despite their barely visible size typically less than 1/8 of an inch long females inflict painful, intensely itchy bites to obtain the blood meal necessary for egg development.
Because of their minute size, no see-ums can easily pass through standard residential window screens and standard pool cage enclosures.
They are most active during the cooler hours of the day, particularly at dawn and dusk, and thrive in still, windless conditions.
Insects like spiders and ants aren’t just a nuisance they’re looking to make your home their home. Seasonal changes in Fort Myers can cause insects to seek refuge inside, making it crucial to have a year-round plan that keeps them out. With our Perimeter Shield service, we treat the exterior of your home to stop pests before they get in.
Our seasonal approach ensures that your home is protected throughout the year. Our trained technicians perform treatments every 60 to 75 days, starting in early spring. During each visit, they focus on areas with active insect activity and potential entry points, ensuring your home remains a free from annoying insects like spiders and ants.
