Squirrels and mice typically enter the home through small holes in your basement or attic and can travel through the space in your walls to other areas of the home. They can also chew through small spaces in the home to make them bigger and can actually create a great deal of damage to your home. To prevent them from coming in, make sure to have a professional look at your home to identify any current and potential points of entry and seal the gaps. Mice are a common Florida pest, and prevention can be handled easily and quickly by a PestBear professional.

Whether you currently have termites or are trying to avoid future instances of termite infestations, the first step should be having a professional exterminator inspect the home for signs of existing termites—a common problem in Florida. Pest prevention includes looking for wings, small holes in wood, and broken drywall. By treating the perimeter of your home for subterranean termites, you can kill existing or potential termites in the ground before they reach your home. For a full defense, make sure to remove woodpiles, stumps, or mulch from near your home. Seal all cracks and holes in your foundation, trim shrubs and bushes away from the house, and don’t let leaves to build up in your gutters.

Yes, we service many of these systems. The equipment is readily available in the marketplace to service all types of in-wall systems. Some companies will have you believe that the system is patented and belongs to them, but this is false. Another tactic companies use to retain your business is to say you will lose your warranty. Most warranties are only for the amount your builder paid for the system ($100 on average). Please be advised that many in-wall pest prevention systems have been installed poorly and become old, damaged, and sometimes nonfunctional. Our free inspection of your system will let you know.

Many larger companies are self-insured, and this is a great disadvantage to the homeowner because they are less inclined to cover even the smallest of claims. Check your policy and call PestBear for a free inspection.

Since termites are destructive to your property and home, this is an important question to be resolved. Both ants and termites commonly swarm in order to mate and expand an existing colony. This triggering event normally happens in the spring and fall. One of the easiest ways to find out if it is termites or ants is to look at the body. Termites have a two-segmented body and ants have three segments.

We currently offer one of the best protections in the industry: a $1,000,000 damage protection warranty against termites backed by an AAA-rated insurance company.
