Look for mud tubes, discarded wings, or hollow-sounding wood. Termites can cause extensive damage and should never be ignored. Often, spotting termite activity will need the eye of a trained professional.

While you can treat mounds with insecticides, applying pesticides is always best performed by a trained technician to avoid negative impacts on people, pets, and your property.
There are many health risks associated to pests. As an example, pests like rodents can spread hantavirus, among other risks. Removing pests from your property to minimize health risks and exposure is important.
Whitaker Exterminating recommends annual termite inspections and preventive care.
DIY methods may offer temporary relief but are typically less effective than professional treatments. Year-round pest control can help prevent, and eliminate pests.
Central Florida has many seasonal pests. Love bugs appear in spring, while other pests like rodents can be present year round. Termites, while present year-round in Florida, are prominent during their swarming season which typically lasts from spring into summer.
The time to see results depends on the pest problem and treatment type. Most treatments reduce activity within 1-2 days, though some treatments, like termite treatments, may take weeks for the full effect. Our technicians will explain what to expect.
Avoid handling wildlife in Florida. Whitaker Exterminating is more than happy to offer humane removal for different wildlife, but wildlife should never be removed from a property without expert care.
