FAQs: Merritt Island Pest Control Services by Pest & Lawn Organic Guard
Merritt Island General Pest Control Services:
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a comprehensive approach to pest control that focuses on effective, environmentally responsible methods to manage pests while minimizing risks to people, pets, and the environment. As part of my training, I completed an IPM program at Indian River State College (IRSC), which equips me with the knowledge and techniques to provide smarter and safer pest control solutions.
IPM involves understanding pest behavior, using targeted treatments, and implementing preventative measures to reduce the need for excessive pesticide use. By combining strategies like monitoring, exclusion, and precision applications, IPM ensures long-term pest control with minimal impact on your home and surroundings.
Choosing Pest Guard for your pest control service means you’re selecting a company trained in the most advanced and responsible pest management practices. With IPM at the core of my service, you can trust that your home will be protected effectively and sustainably.

Merritt Island Ant Control Services
Our ant control services cover a wide range of species, including:
Absolutely! Our prevention methods include sealing entry points, removing attractants like food and moisture, and applying long-lasting residual treatments around your property’s perimeter.
Ghost ants are attracted to sugary substances. Terro liquid ant bait is highly effective for these species and is available at any hardware store. However, ghost ants sometimes die before delivering bait back to their nests due to the distance. If this occurs, mixing the bait with a 50/50 sugary drink helps them transport it back to their colony, ensuring effective elimination.
Ghost ants, Argentine ants, white-footed ants, and rover ants often nest near or feed on trees and plants infested with scale insects, aphids, or rotten, damaged parts. Our service includes spraying and treating these areas to eliminate the root cause of the problem and prevent future infestations.
We use a “special sauce” to eliminate these invasive ants, backed by our guarantee.
Yes! We can treat cars for ants.
Ants are highly territorial, and when one species is removed, it creates a vacuum that other ants quickly move to fill. Without ants guarding the space, new colonies see your property as prime real estate. That’s why ongoing pest control is key—it prevents any species from gaining a foothold.
When it rains heavily, the ground becomes saturated, forcing fire ants to move to higher ground to avoid drowning. Unfortunately, this often leads them to areas around your home.
With regular pest control services, we proactively eliminate fire ant colonies around your home before they become a problem. This ensures that when heavy rains come, there are no nearby colonies to invade your property, keeping your home and yard free of fire ants.
Merritt Island Cockroach Control Services
We specialize in eliminating all major cockroach species, such as:
We use a combination of professional roach baits and targeted spraying. Our treatments include Insect Growth Regulators (I.G.R’s), which are highly effective at disrupting reproduction and eliminating colonies. Sprays are applied to high-traffic areas and nesting sites for immediate results. Monitoring and follow-up treatments ensure long-term success.
Cockroaches are expert hitchhikers and can enter your home in a variety of ways:
Delivered in boxes or packages – Roaches often hide in shipping materials, making their way into your home through deliveries.
Stuck to your car – If your car is parked under lights in a parking lot or near infested areas, roaches may cling to it and enter your home when you park in the garage.
Service vehicles or toolboxes – Service vehicles, toolboxes, or cleaning carts can unintentionally transport cockroaches into your home.
Attracted to lights – Roaches are drawn to light sources, making garages and entryways ideal access points.
From other locations – Someone visiting your home could unintentionally bring roaches in their purse, bags, or belongings.
Secondhand items – Purchasing items from garage sales, thrift stores, or even grocery stores could introduce roaches. Trailers used for food transport can sometimes harbor roaches, making grocery store purchases another potential source.
Our pest control services target these resilient invaders with customized treatments, ensuring a long-term solution.
Roaches can enter your home through drains when water evaporates from traps, leaving an open path to the sewer or septic tank.
Cover your drains and overflows to stop evaporation. Use a cup, plug, rag, or pour a small amount of cooking oil into the drain to seal it.
Merritt Island Rodent Control Services
Yes, I provide rodent control services, including outdoor rodent bait stations that can be added to your regular service for as low as $15 per visit. I also offer rodent exclusion services to seal entry points, especially important after hurricane damage, which can create pathways for rats and squirrels to access attics.
Merritt Island’s unique geography and environment contribute to its high rat population. The banks of the Indian River and Banana River are natural habitats for rats, providing ample shelter and access to food sources. Additionally, the abundance of fruit trees like mango, avocado, and grapes, along with the fruit produced by palms, attracts rats to residential areas.
The key to effective rodent control is prevention. Sealing up all potential entry points in your home, including cracks, gaps, and vents, is crucial. Regularly trimming fruit trees and removing fallen fruits can also reduce the attraction for rats. Our rodent control services provide comprehensive protection by addressing both the immediate infestation and potential long-term issues.
Rodents were traditionally more of a winter problem, especially here in Florida, because the heat of summer made attics uninhabitable for them. However, modern attics are often so well insulated that they maintain a tolerable temperature for rodents throughout the year. If your attic is well insulated, rats can be a year-round issue. On the other hand, if your attic isn’t as well insulated, rodents may only become a problem during the cooler winter months when they seek shelter.
If you eliminate the rats but fail to seal the entry points, more rats are likely to move in. This is because rodents can smell where other rats have been, even years after they’ve left. These smells signal to other rats that the area is a safe and suitable habitat. This is why exclusion—sealing all possible entry points—is critical to long-term rodent control. Without exclusion, you’re inviting future infestations.
We replace the bait in the boxes during each service visit. Regular refills ensure ongoing protection against rats and mice.
Merritt Island Flying Insects
Yes, I offer eco-friendly mosquito control that can be added to your pest control service. It’s perfect for homeowners who want to enjoy a sunset or rocket launch pest-free in their Merritt Island backyard.
If you notice gnats or small flies emerging from your drains when the water runs, the issue is likely breeding in the drain. You can fix this by using drain sticks like Sani Sticks or Green Gobbler Drain Sticks, which are effective and easy to use. These products are available at Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Walmart. Regular use will keep your drains clean and free of pests.
Yes, gnats and small flies often breed in the moist soil of potted plants.
To solve this problem: Mix a solution of mildly soapy water (no more than 1% soap). Water your plants with this solution to kill larvae in the soil. Repeat this process a few times to break the breeding cycle.
This simple method is safe for plants and highly effective at eliminating gnats.
Flies can become an issue, especially if a nearby neighbor keeps chickens or if there is trash or organic waste nearby.
Here’s how to manage them: Trash Management: Store perishable waste in your fridge or freezer until trash day to prevent attracting flies. Tie Trash Bags Properly: Use a balloon knot to seal trash bags tightly. This is especially important in communities with once-a-week trash pickup or when pickups are delayed.
By removing food sources and properly managing waste, you can greatly reduce the presence of house flies.
Start by addressing the source of the problem. Throw out any overripe fruits or citrus, and take out the trash if that’s where they’re coming from.
For a quick and easy solution, try opening your doors and turning on ceiling fans to encourage the flies to leave naturally.
If they persist, you can:
Purchase a Terro Fruit Fly Trap from any hardware store. These small traps look like apples and come with a liquid that effectively attracts and traps fruit flies.
Make your own trap by pouring a small amount of apple cider vinegar into a shallow dish, adding 1-2% dish soap, and leaving it out where the flies are active.
Merritt Island Termite Control Services
Yes, I offer both subterranean and dry wood termite control services to protect your home from these destructive pests.
Ants have a small waist and termites have a thick mid-section.
Swarming Carpenter Ant (LEFT) Versus Swarming Termite (Right). Notice the difference in waist size between the two insects.
With my service, you work directly with the owner/operator—me. I personally handle every treatment and inspection, so I have a vested interest in ensuring you don’t have termite issues. At larger companies, you might get a random employee who may not have the same level of expertise or commitment. I also have the credentials to back up my work, having passed rigorous state exams and completed college coursework in this field.
Unlike many technicians at big companies who might have been hired with little or no experience, I am a licensed pest control operator with advanced training. My knowledge and hands-on approach ensure that your termite protection is thorough and reliable, giving you peace of mind.
My service includes more than just an inspection. Every year, I personally inspect your property and apply a booster treatment with an EPA-registered termiticide. This extra step ensures a continuous protective barrier against termites, providing you with added confidence and protection that big companies don’t typically offer.
I take personal responsibility for every treatment I provide. If termites become an issue, it directly impacts me, not a faceless corporation. That accountability drives me to do the job right the first time. Plus, the booster treatment during your annual renewal adds an extra layer of protection to ensure your home stays termite-free.
I go beyond standard treatments by including a yearly booster application of termiticide and thorough inspections. This dual approach helps maintain a strong, continuous barrier against termites, something most large companies don’t offer as part of their standard service.
Merritt Island Specialty Pest Services
Yes, I’m the only local pest control provider to offer attic dusting with Delta Dust. This long-lasting treatment provides an extra layer of protection against roaches, ants, spiders, millipedes, and other pests trying to invade your home from above.
Millipedes can become a nuisance, especially when lawns are overwatered. I offer a highly effective millipede treatment that eliminates the problem quickly and keeps them away for an extended period. Regular pest control service helps prevent future infestations.
Absolutely! I am equipped to handle infestations of any size efficiently and effectively.
We offer effective flea and tick control treatments for your home and yard. This helps eliminate the pests from your environment, reducing the risk of infestation on your pets.
Fleas can be a frustrating problem, but there are effective steps you can take immediately to reduce and eliminate them.
Follow this guide to tackle fleas in your home, on your pets, and prevent future infestations.
Step 1: Thoroughly Vacuum Your Home
Focus on Flea-Prone Areas: Vacuum carpets, rugs, furniture, and cracks in the flooring. Pay extra attention to areas where your pets sleep or spend time.
Dispose of the Vacuum Contents Properly: Once you finish vacuuming, take the vacuum bag or contents of the vacuum canister outside. Discard them in a sealed bag in an outdoor trash can. This step is critical to avoid re-infestation. Vacuuming alone can reduce flea populations by up to 96%!
Step 2: Treat Your Pets
Dogs:
Bathing: Giving your dog a thorough bath can remove a significant portion of fleas. Use a pet-safe flea shampoo if available.
Flea Medication: Apply vet-recommended flea medication. Avoid over-the-counter treatments, as these are often ineffective and may be harmful to your pet.
Cats:
Flea Medication: Use a topical flea treatment prescribed by your veterinarian. Cats are sensitive to many treatments, so always consult your vet.
Helpful Tip: Cats often try to groom off topical treatments before they dry. To prevent this, tie a loose bandana or soft fabric around your cat’s neck until the medication has dried completely.
Bathing Cats: Cats generally dislike baths, so this is rarely effective—unless you’re lucky enough to own a unicorn cat that actually enjoys them! For most of us, it’s safer (and less stressful) to rely on vet-approved flea treatments.
Why Vet-Approved Flea Treatments Matter
Medications from your veterinarian are specifically formulated to be safe and effective for your pets. Over-the-counter options can be dangerous and rarely provide the same level of flea control. By treating your pets with vet-recommended products, you address the source of the flea infestation and prevent reinfestation in your home.
Step 3: Consider Professional Treatment
Even with diligent vacuuming and treating your pets, fleas can still be a persistent issue. That’s where my professional flea control service can help:
Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): When I treat for fleas, I use an insect growth regulator that lasts up to 7 months. This prevents fleas from breeding, giving you long-term relief from infestations.
Treating Outdoor Areas: Fleas can breed in shady areas of your lawn, which may be where your pets pick them up. Treating these spots can significantly reduce flea problems.
Addressing Wildlife Carriers: If you live in an area with rodents or raccoons (which, let’s be honest, is every single city on the Space and Treasure Coasts), these animals can introduce fleas into your environment. Professional treatment can help eliminate these risks.
Merritt Island Pest Prevention
Yes, overwatering your lawn can create ideal conditions for pests like millipedes. Excess moisture can also attract fire ants. My treatments not only address these pests but also include property recommendations to prevent future problems.
Avoid overwatering your lawn, and use outdoor fans to keep no-see-ums away; just like the local restaurants do—they’re poor fliers.
Yes, bugs flock to lights, especially if left on overnight. Turn them off when not needed.
Bugs like roaches, beetles, and other flying pests are naturally attracted to light sources. When exterior lights are left on, they draw bugs directly to your home. Once bugs are on or near your house, it increases the chances they’ll find a way inside—whether through cracks, vents, or open doors. Keeping lights off helps reduce this attraction and keeps pests at bay.
Landscape lighting is a smart solution for reducing pests near your home. By placing lights in your yard and pointing them toward the house, the bugs are attracted to the light sources in the landscape—not the house itself. This keeps flying pests like roaches, beetles, and moths farther away from your doors, windows, and walls, making it less likely they’ll get inside.
Landscape lighting not only enhances your home’s nighttime beauty but also serves as an effective pest deterrent. It’s a win-win!
We treat entry points, knock down spider webs, and spray around trees, shrubs, and eaves for a pest-free zone.
