What We Do Best
Pest Control That’s Local, Reliable, and Built Around Your Needs
At Florida Pestworx, we know that pest control isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer flexible service options — including one-time treatments, quarterly protection, and ongoing maintenance plans — all designed to fit your home, your budget, and your schedule.
Whether you’re dealing with ants in the kitchen, spiders around the windows, or roaches showing up after heavy rain, our pest control services are built to give you real peace of mind. Every visit includes a detailed inspection, customized treatment using Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and the kind of neighborly service that’s hard to find these days.
We treat the pests common to our area — ants, cockroaches, spiders, wasps, and more — with a focus on long-term prevention, not just quick knockdowns. From removing webs and wasp nests to sealing up entry points and applying precise exterior treatments, our goal is to stop infestations before they start.
What sets us apart? We’re local. We live here, we raise our families here, and we care about doing the job right — without high-pressure sales or corporate upsells. Whether you need a one-time service or a regular schedule to keep pests out for good, we’ve got you covered.

Outdoor Mosquito Control

If you’re looking for mosquito control in Lakeland, Plant City, Bartow, Winter Haven, or nearby areas, Florida Pestworx delivers local expertise with proven results.
Fire Ant Elimination
Fire ants don’t just bite — they take over. At Florida Pestworx, our fire ant treatment program is designed to eliminate colonies at the source so you can enjoy your yard without the risk of painful stings.
We use a proven, targeted approach with professional-grade baits that are carried back into the colony by the ants themselves. This eliminates the queen and shuts the entire colony down — not just the visible mound. It’s a long-lasting solution that works beneath the surface, where it matters most.
Our treatments are safe for kids, pets, and Florida lawns, making them ideal for families who spend time outdoors. Whether you’re seeing scattered mounds or a full-blown infestation, we’ll tailor the treatment to fit your property and give you real relief.

Rodent Prevention
Ensure a fortified defense against rodents with our proactive rodent prevention program. Our integrated approach involves identifying entry points and strategically placing rodent stations to keep unwanted guests at bay. Depend on our knowledge to craft a personalized rodent prevention approach, securing a rodent-free atmosphere for your home and property.
Eco-Friendly Pest Service Option
Discover our Eco-Friendly Perimeter Pest Service. This service is designed using 25(b) products that have no pyrethroid or neononic use restrictions, ensuring a sustainable approach to pest management. Choose this option for effective, environmentally conscious pest solutions tailored to your needs.
PestProof Attic & Crawlspace Dusting
Pests love undisturbed spaces like attics and crawlspaces — and that’s exactly where we focus our dusting treatment. Florida Pestworx offers a professional blown-in dust application that targets hidden areas where roaches, spiders, ants, silverfish, and other pests nest and travel.
This specialized treatment is ideal for hard-to-reach spaces, providing long-lasting protection by coating attic flooring, insulation surfaces, and crawlspace voids with a fine, professional-grade insecticidal dust. Once applied, it continues to work over time — helping reduce pest pressure in areas that rarely see foot traffic but often host infestations.
Perfect as part of a comprehensive pest prevention plan or for homeowners looking to treat attics or crawlspaces after construction, remodeling, or pest activity.
