Wasp nest, bed bugs, or a swarm right now?
- 1Do not spray a wasp or hornet nest in daylight; colonies sting in numbers and survive.
- 2For bed bugs, stop moving mattresses and luggage between rooms, which spreads them house-wide.
- 3For a termite swarm indoors, bag a few insects for identification and leave the rest.
- 4Then call the companies above and ask for same-day or next-day treatment.

What does pest control cost?
National research range
$100 to $300 per visit
Quarterly recurring service runs about $100 to $200 per visit; one-time treatments and specialty work like termites cost more. U.S. research ranges, not Lake Mary quotes.
See the full Pest Control cost guideWhat moves the price
- One-time treatment versus a quarterly plan, which almost always costs less per visit.
- The pest itself: general ants and roaches sit at the low end, termites and bed bugs are their own category.
- Square footage and whether the crawlspace, attic, and yard perimeter are included.
- Follow-up visits: ask whether re-treatment inside the warranty window is free.
Ask companies to confirm these in writing. One request above reaches up to three.
Common pests in Lake Mary
What companies here get called for. 4 of these 8 usually need a recurring plan.
Drywood termites
Look for tiny pellet-like droppings piling up beneath window sills, door frames, or furniture, and small round kick-out holes in wood. Winged swarmers near light fixtures are another sign. Photograph what you find and call for an inspection before touching anything.
What treatment involves. Localized wood treatment, or fumigation when it is widespread.
Formosan termites
Lake Mary's humid conditions for most of the year give Formosan termites the moisture their huge colonies need, with no real seasonal break in activity. That is why mud tubes or swarmers deserve a prompt inspection, even outside the usual swarm months.
What treatment involves. Whole-structure treatment. Spot treatment does not hold against this one.
Subterranean termites
Humidity lasting most of the year in Lake Mary keeps soil damp, which suits subterranean termites working out of sight. Activity does not pause in a cool season, so watch for mud tubes on foundation walls and ask about an annual inspection.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroaches
Check kitchens and bathrooms first, especially behind the refrigerator, under sinks, and inside appliance motors. Tiny dark specks like pepper and a musty smell are common clues. Seeing them in daylight often means the hiding spots are already crowded.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice
Listen for scratching in walls or the attic at night, and look for droppings along baseboards, inside pantries, and under sinks. Gnawed packaging is another giveaway. Start by walking the outside of your home and noting gaps near utility lines.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bugs
Look for small rusty stains on sheets, tiny dark spots along mattress seams, and itchy bites in a line on exposed skin. Check headboards and behind outlet covers. Washing everything on high heat helps, but call a pro before moving items between rooms.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rats
Roof rats stay up high, so listen for running or scratching in the attic at night rather than the floor. Look for rub marks along roof lines and gnawed fruit or palm debris in the yard. Trim branches that touch your roof.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ants
Look for dome-shaped mounds of loose soil in sunny lawn areas, along sidewalks, and against foundations. Stepping near one triggers a swarm of stings within seconds. Keep kids and pets away from any mound until a pro treats it.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Pest control plans and what they cover
Two pest control quotes rarely cover the same thing. Each service below has the one question that makes quotes comparable.
Recurring general pest plans
A technician treats the outside perimeter and entry points, refreshes bait stations, and treats inside only where pests are active. Most plans include free return visits.
Four of the eight pests common around Lake Mary, German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, and fire ants, usually need ongoing visits rather than one spray. If you deal with any of those, a recurring plan fits better than repeated one-time calls.
What moves the price. Home size, which pests are covered, how often visits come, and the heavier first visit.
Ask before booking. Which pests does the plan cover, and which ones, like termites or rodents, cost extra?
The honest part. Most general plans leave out the expensive problems. Termites, bed bugs and rodent exclusion are usually separate contracts, so read the exclusions before comparing prices.
Termite treatment, liquid or bait
A liquid treatment puts termiticide in the soil so termites cannot reach the wood. A bait system uses monitored stations that termites carry back to the colony.
Lake Mary's list includes drywood, Formosan, and subterranean termites, and they do not behave alike. Drywood termites live inside wood with no soil contact, so a soil treatment does not reach them. Ask each company which termite they found and why they chose their method.
What moves the price. The perimeter length, slab or crawlspace, any concrete drilling, and the bait monitoring visits after.
Ask before booking. Which method suits this house, and what does the warranty require me to pay each year?
The honest part. University of Florida research found baits eliminate the colonies that feed on them, while liquids mainly keep termites out. Bait stations nobody services protect nothing.
Termite warranties and renewals
An annual renewal keeps the warranty in force with a yearly inspection. Retreatment-only means treating again; repair-and-retreatment also pays for new damage up to a limit.
When comparing quotes, ask each company for the actual warranty document before you sign. Check whether the renewal fee covers a yearly inspection and whether it pays for repairs or only retreatment. Also ask what actions on your part could void the coverage.
What moves the price. The warranty type, its repair limit, the size of the structure, and whether it transfers on sale.
Ask before booking. Is this retreatment only, or does it pay to repair new damage, and up to what amount?
The honest part. With retreatment only, every repair bill is yours, and homeowners policies exclude termite damage. Ask for the warranty document itself and what voids it.
Termite inspection for a home sale
A wood destroying insect inspection documents termite evidence, damage and conducive conditions, usually on the NPMA-33 form. VA loans require one in moderate to heavy termite areas.
If you are buying or selling a Lake Mary home, book the inspection early so any findings do not delay closing. Ask the inspector to explain every notation in plain words, and get the report in writing. Consider a second opinion if the findings are large.
What moves the price. House size, crawlspace and attic access, detached structures, and how fast the report is needed.
Ask before booking. Will the report be on the form my lender accepts, and how long does it stay valid?
The honest part. An inspection covers what is visible that day, not what sits behind finished walls. A company that also sells the treatment has a reason to find something.
Rodent exclusion
Finding and sealing the gaps mice and rats use at the foundation, roof line, vents and utility lines, then trapping what is inside. Sealing ends the problem.
Lake Mary homes can see both mice and roof rats, and they enter in different places. Mice squeeze through low foundation gaps, while roof rats use roof lines and attics. Make sure any quote names sealing work for the area your pest uses.
What moves the price. The number of entry points, roof and attic access, sealing materials, and follow-up trap checks.
Ask before booking. Is sealing the entry points in this quote, and is the work guaranteed if they get back in?
The honest part. Bait boxes on a recurring plan manage rodents outside but do not stop them coming in. A quote without sealing work is monitoring, not exclusion.
Mosquito and tick programs
A seasonal program treats the shaded foliage where mosquitoes rest and the yard edges where ticks wait, and clears standing water. Each treatment wears off, so it repeats.
When comparing mosquito and tick quotes, ask how many treatments are included and how often they repeat, since each one wears off. Walk your yard first and empty anything holding standing water, which you can do yourself and which helps any program work better.
What moves the price. Yard size, how much dense planting there is, the number of visits, and whether ticks are included.
Ask before booking. How many visits does the season include, and what do you do about standing water here?
The honest part. Barrier treatments reduce mosquitoes but do not eliminate them, and neighbouring yards keep supplying more. Emptying standing water stops breeding, and you can do it yourself.
One-time treatments
A single visit for one specific problem, such as a wasp nest, a pantry infestation or an isolated ant trail, without signing up for a recurring plan.
A one-time visit makes sense for a single wasp nest or an isolated ant trail near your door. Ask the company what happens if the pests return, and whether a callback costs extra. If you suspect roaches or bed bugs, ask about follow-up visits upfront.
What moves the price. The pest, how established it is, how many rooms or nests are involved, and any follow-up.
Ask before booking. Is a follow-up visit included if the problem comes back within a few weeks?
The honest part. One visit suits some pests and not others. German cockroaches, bed bugs and most ant colonies need follow-ups, so a one-time price there usually means paying again.
What the Lake Mary climate means for pests
- The climate here is humid for most of the year, and warm humid conditions favour cockroaches, termites and moisture pests, and there is no real seasonal break in activity.
Climate class from DOE Building America county zones.
Six checks before you sign a pest control contract
Pest control is a licensed trade, so start with the state license. The rest is what the contract commits you to.
Check the applicator license
Applicator certification here is handled by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Ask for the license number and the certified applicator's name, then confirm both.
Find the agency's contact details (NPIC)Get an inspection before a termite or rodent price
Plans can be quoted from house size, but termite and rodent work cannot. A phone price before anyone inspects the house is a guess.
Compare the first visit and the recurring price separately
The first service usually costs more than routine visits, so two equal quarterly prices can mean very different totals in the first year.
Read the contract length and how to cancel
Many plans renew automatically or carry a minimum term. Ask how you cancel and whether a fee applies before you sign, not after.
Ask about free return visits
Most plans send a technician back between services if covered pests return. Ask whether that is included and how soon they come.
Ask what product is being used
Ask for the product name, and follow the technician's directions from its label on when people and pets can go back into treated areas.
When to book pest control in Lake Mary
Spring
Termite swarm season and ant season kick off; the best month for a preventive perimeter treatment.
Summer
Peak mosquitoes, wasps, and roaches; recurring plans earn their keep now.
Fall
Rodents move indoors as nights cool; seal entry points before the first cold week.
Winter
Quietest booking season; good time to negotiate an annual plan.
How to choose a pest control company in Lake Mary
A 5.0 from Florida Wildlife Busters rests on 36 reviews, while EnviroGuard Pest Control holds a 4.8 across 617. That much volume is harder to fake and shows steady work. A perfect score on a small number is promising, but a slightly lower score on hundreds of reviews tells you more. Use both numbers together when choosing who to call.
