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 Worth 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 Worth
What companies here get called for. 4 of these 8 usually need a recurring plan.
Drywood termites
Check wooden window frames, attic rafters, fascia boards and furniture for tiny pellets that look like sand or sawdust piled below small holes. Those droppings often give drywood termites away. If you spot them, photograph the pile and call before moving anything.
What treatment involves. Localized wood treatment, or fumigation when it is widespread.
Formosan termites
Lake Worth's humid conditions with no real seasonal break mean moisture is always on hand, which suits a termite that thrives in damp wood. That makes yearly inspections worth keeping, and fixing leaks quickly matters because colonies this large can keep working all year.
What treatment involves. Whole-structure treatment. Spot treatment does not hold against this one.
Subterranean termites
Warm, humid conditions here keep soil moist and termites comfortable, so activity does not pause the way it does in colder places. Mud tubes on foundation walls are the classic sign, so look there first, and keep mulch and wood away from your slab.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroaches
Look in kitchens and bathrooms first, especially behind the fridge, under sinks and around the dishwasher. Tiny dark specks like pepper and a musty smell are early clues. Wipe up grease and crumbs, fix drips, and tell the technician exactly where you saw them.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice
Listen for scratching in walls at night and check for droppings along baseboards, behind appliances and in pantry corners. Gnaw marks on boxes are another giveaway. Store food in sealed containers now, and note where you see signs so a technician can trace the entry points.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bugs
Check mattress seams, box spring corners and headboards for small rusty stains, shed skins or tiny dark spots. Bites in a line on skin exposed during sleep are a common sign. After any trip, keep luggage off the bed and wash clothes hot.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rats
Listen for running or scratching in the attic around dusk or at night, and look for gnawed fruit under palms and citrus trees. Greasy rub marks along roof edges and wires show their route. Trim branches that touch the roof before anyone treats.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ants
Look for raised, loose mounds of fine soil in sunny lawn patches, along sidewalk edges and near foundations. Disturb one and ants swarm out fast, so keep kids and pets away. Mark each mound's location and avoid poking it before the pro arrives.
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 here usually need recurring care, namely German cockroaches, mice, roof rats and fire ants. That makes a quarterly plan worth a hard look. Ask which of those pests are covered and what the first visit costs versus later ones.
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.
Drywood, Formosan and subterranean termites all show up on Lake Worth's list, and they do not behave alike. Drywood termites live inside the wood, so a soil treatment does not reach them. Ask each company to identify the termite first, then explain 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.
Ask to see the warranty document itself before you sign, not just a summary. Find out whether it is retreatment only or also covers repairs, what the limit is, and what voids it, such as moving soil or skipping the yearly inspection. Compare renewal terms side by side.
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.
Book the inspection early so there is time to negotiate if something turns up. Ask for the written report and the NPMA-33 form, and walk the inspector through any spots you worry about. Since an inspector who also sells treatment may find more, consider getting a second opinion.
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.
Mice and roof rats both appear on this state's list, and they enter differently. Mice squeeze through foundation gaps and utility lines, while roof rats come in along the roofline and through the attic. Ask any company to inspect both levels and quote the sealing work separately.
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.
Before paying for a program, walk your yard and empty anything holding standing water, such as plant saucers, buckets and clogged gutters. Then ask how often the company treats, which areas it covers, and whether it adjusts visits if your neighbors' yards keep sending mosquitoes your way.
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. Ask whether any follow-up is included and what the company will do if the problem returns. If you have roaches or bed bugs, expect to need more than one visit.
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 Worth 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 Worth
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.
