LAKE WORTH, RIGHT NOW
What Is Biting in Lake Worth This Month
Lake Worth wraps around its namesake lake, and that is what drives the pest work here: standing water and shoreline vegetation for mosquitoes, tall grass and brush for chiggers and ticks, and established brick on the older streets for the exclusion work.
The Shoreline
Lots near the water see the mosquito season start early and run heavy. We treat the resting vegetation along the boundary, and we tell you what standing water to tip out.
Established Streets
Much of the housing dates to the mid-century, with settled soil and brick that has opened up at the weep holes and thresholds. Exclusion first, then the perimeter treatment holds.
EVERY PROGRAM WE RUN HERE
Pest Services in Lake Worth
Lake Worth is built around its lake, and shoreline vegetation plus standing water means the mosquito season here opens early and stays heavy through September. We fog the resting cover along your boundary every 21 days; a lakeside lot up to 12,000 square feet is $59.95 a visit, and larger ones move up the table.
Home Defender on a Lake Worth home is four visits a year that treat the exterior walls, the eaves and a 25-foot circle of ground around the slab, with Delta Dust puffed into the weep holes of the mid-century brick every time. Fire ant treatment is bundled in, and the price is $30 to $54 a month by the size of the house.
Complete Home & Lawn Defense is the version for the whole lot, perimeter plus every bit of lawn, at $40 to $73.50 a month. It carries no contract, which matters for lake properties that are not lived in year-round.
Chiggers around Lake Worth live where the mowed lawn meets brush, tall grass or the shoreline. The whole-yard treatment on Complete Home & Lawn Defense covers that edge, and Home Defender covers the 25 feet nearest the house.
The mid-century core of Lake Worth sits on settled soil and sees only scattered fire ant mounds, while the lots toward the water with disturbed ground see more. Broadcast bait over the whole lawn is included with both year-round plans, and it takes weeks, not hours, to clear a colony.
Grubs and armyworms hit Lake Worth's older Bermuda and St. Augustine lawns, and chinch bugs favor the sunny, hot strips of St. Augustine near pavement. We test before we treat so drought damage is not mistaken for insects.
THE FIRST VISIT
What We Look At First in Lake Worth
What Is Holding Water
Buckets, boat covers, tarps and clogged gutters near the lake breed mosquitoes within a week. We walk the lot, tell you what to tip out, and treat the vegetation around what has to stay.
The Lake Boundary
Where a Lake Worth yard runs down to brush or the shoreline is where the chiggers, ticks and mosquitoes originate. We treat that line as the front of the property.
Mid-Century Weep Holes
On the older streets the brick has opened at the weep holes and thresholds over sixty years. We dust the weep holes with Delta Dust, pack them with copper mesh at no extra charge, and note anything else worth closing.
