Fire Ants

If you are a native Floridian, then you are certainly accustomed to fire ants. Fire ants are highly aggressive. They will sting any animals, plants, or humans that come in contact with them. These stings are painful, leaving behind pustules, red marks, and an uncomfortable burning and itching sensation. You can identify the presence of fire ants near your home by examining your lawn and driveway for nests. These nests are typically large and present as dirt mounds with tiny holes for convenient forager access.

To keep this invasive species from entering your home, it is important to use environmentally safe pest control methods that do not harm native ant species. Native ants compete with fire ants for resources and serve as a natural form of population control. If these ants are killed off by unnecessary pesticides and insecticides, fire ant populations may bounce back and expand into excessive numbers.

Our certified pest control company can assist you with your fire ant problem. At Champion Termite & Pest Control, our exterminators use oil-based baits and preventative spot treatments to specifically target fire ant swarms.

Fleas

As a parasite, fleas need a host to survive. Fleas bounce from place to place with their strong six legs. Their choice in hosts varies, allowing them to infest the skin and hair of dogs, cats, and humans. If you notice your pet scratching excessively, showing signs of balding, or itching small bite marks surrounded by a halo shape, it could be an early indication that fleas have invaded your home.

Fleas can transmit deadly diseases and parasites. Through their bites, they can spread tapeworms, bacteria, murine typhus, and bubonic plague. Notify Champion Termite & Pest Control for our pest extermination service.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most despised insects worldwide, hated for both their creepy appearance and their tendency to carry diseases. Sadly, cockroaches can survive most extermination methods as they scavenge through your cupboards and pantries.

If you spot a cockroach crawling along your floors at night, we recommend calling our pest exterminator company. Our team uses modern technology and techniques to effectively bait, trap, and kill cockroaches in your Palatka home.

Termites

Termites can cause tremendous property damage with their fast reproductive cycle and voracious appetites. These pests consume the starchy cellulose found in paper and wood.

There are two species of termites that are a problem in Florida. Subterranean termites, the more common of the two, can be identified through their habit of forming mud tubes near buildings and homes.

However, while subterranean termites may be more common, Formosan termites still pose a grave threat. This termite species is very aggressive and destructive. Formosan termites form large colonies that rapidly eat through available wood.

Champion Termite & Pest Control is dedicated to protecting the safety and structural integrity of your property. Our termite exterminators will apply advanced, name-brand termite spray to your home’s cracks and crevices, keeping these insects out of your house’s foundation.

Bed Bugs

It can be challenging to sleep if bed bugs have infested your mattress and bed frame. Unfortunately, this reality is far too common. Recent years have seen increased bed bug concentrations throughout the state of Florida. These pests are attracted to your body heat and typically leave itchy bite marks in their wake. If this sounds familiar, ask our team about our bed bug extermination services.
