PELICAN BAY, RIGHT NOW
What Is Biting in Pelican Bay This Month
Pelican Bay is small and sits right on the water, so the pest pressure is the lake's: mosquitoes from the shoreline and standing water, chiggers and ticks from the brush, and spiders and scorpions in the sheds, docks and woodpiles that come with lake living.
Right on the Water
Shoreline lots 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.
Docks, Sheds and Brush
Anything dark and dry shelters spiders and scorpions; anything unmowed shelters chiggers and ticks. We walk the whole property on the first visit and treat what matters.
EVERY PROGRAM WE RUN HERE
Pest Services in Pelican Bay
Pelican Bay sits right on the water, and a small city that close to a shoreline gets a mosquito season that opens early and does not let up until the nights cool. Our fog goes onto the shrubs, fence lines and low cover where they wait out the day, every 21 days from April to September, and the compact lots here usually price at $49.95 or $59.95 a visit.
Home Defender is four scheduled visits a year taking in the walls, the eaves and the first 25 feet of ground around the house, with Delta Dust blown into the weep holes on every trip. Being on the water does not alter the price: $30 to $54 a month, set by the square footage of the house, with fire ant treatment already inside it.
If you want the grass covered and not just the building, Complete Home & Lawn Defense treats the full yard alongside the perimeter at $40 to $73.50 a month, and there is no contract to get out of if you stop wanting it.
Chiggers in Pelican Bay wait in the brush between the mowed grass and the water, and in any strip of the lot that does not get cut. Complete Home & Lawn Defense treats the yard out to that brush line, while Home Defender reaches 25 feet from the walls.
Loose, disturbed ground near the shoreline gives fire ants an easy start, and a mound can appear on a Pelican Bay lawn within days of a storm. Broadcast bait across the yard comes with both year-round plans, and a mound that rises between visits is covered rather than billed.
The lawns here are small, so a chinch bug patch in St. Augustine or an armyworm run through Bermuda takes out a visible share of the yard in a single go. We test the damaged edge with a float or a tug before treating, since heat coming off pavement leaves much the same brown mark.
THE FIRST VISIT
What We Look At First in Pelican Bay
From the Water Inward
On a lot this close to the shoreline we start the walk at the water and move toward the house, because that is the direction the mosquitoes, ticks and chiggers travel. Where the brush stops and your mowing begins tells us how wide the treated band has to be.
Every Dark, Dry Corner
Scorpions and spiders want somewhere dry and undisturbed, which on a lake lot means the shed floor, the dock boards and the firewood stack. We open those up on the first visit and treat what is actually there rather than guessing from the driveway.
The Bottom Row of Brick
Weep holes are built into the brick deliberately and are the most convenient door into the house for anything small. We dust them with Delta Dust and shut them properly with copper mesh, included on both year-round plans.
WHAT IT COSTS HERE
Small Lots, Small Numbers in Pelican Bay
Pelican Bay houses are mostly modest, and under 1,500 square feet the price is $30 a month for Home Defender and $40 for Complete Home & Lawn Defense. Between 1,500 and 3,000 square feet those become $33 to $38 and $40 to $51.50. If the inspection turns up rats, adding rodent control is $25 a month.
Compact lots keep the mosquito, flea and tick number at the bottom of the table as well: $49.95 per visit up to 7,000 square feet and $59.95 from 7,001 to 12,000, charged as each visit happens rather than as a lump sum. The cycle is every 21 days, April through September, with no contract, no startup fee and no cancellation fee, and the price is agreed before we begin.
