Boca Raton, FL Pest Control
Top-Rated Pest Control In Boca Raton
Boca Raton is the southernmost city of West Palm Beach County with a population of close to 100,000 people. Boca Raton is that kind of city that has something to offer to everyone while still maintaining the charm of a small family-oriented city. Boca Raton offers three gorgeous beaches, fine restaurants, the Town Center mall with 220 boutique stores, art museums, an outdoor amphitheater at Mizner Park, 46 parks, several miles of bicycle and pedestrian trails, and golf courses. Boca Raton is also home to Florida Atlantic University and Lynn University. Boca Raton is also the headquarters for two national corporations, Office Depot & ADT.
Compared to other cities in South Florida, Boca Raton covers a large area. Natives of this great city often refer to East Boca and West Boca. There are 11 miles from the ocean to the edge of the everglades. In this short distance, we notice that homes closer to the everglades have higher populations of flies such as midges and therefore get more spiders. Other than that, whether you live in East Boca or West Boca Raton you have to deal with ants, roaches, and mosquitoes year-round.
Home Pest Control In Boca Raton, FL
People move to Boca Raton because it is a tropical paradise that offers the perfect blend of work and play. However, this is the same paradise that bugs like to thrive in. When creepy-crawlies start invading your home or disrupting your social activities with family and friends, it is not so much fun.
When it’s time to hire a pest control professional in Boca Raton, look no further than GOTBUGSIKILL. We are the best pest control company in South Florida, period! After reading our reviews on Google, Yelp, and BBB, you will not hesitate to call us to get rid of the bugs invading your home. Unlike other companies, we kill the bugs at the source of the problem. Before we start a new service, our technicians will do a thorough inspection of your home to detect possible breeding sites and detect entry points that should be sealed.
During the first visit, we’ll spend about two hours in your home from the time we start the inspection to the time we finish the initial work. With our treatment process, we get rid of pests living inside your home and prevent them from coming back in the future. For every new service, we treat the wall voids in the kitchen and bathroom, underneath cabinets, attic, laundry room, and garage. The good thing is that the products we leave behind in cracks and crevices will prevent bugs from getting established again. Following the initial treatment, we hardly ever need to go back inside your home.
From this point forward, our recurring pest control services will keep your home pest-free and your family safe from the common pests in Boca Raton. KILL365 is our signature pest control program. This service is performed every three months or quarterly. During each visit, we’ll spray the foundation, underneath the eves, and around windows and doors. Our technicians will also remove all accessible spider webs around the home and apply granular bait to the landscaping. This is very important as it is the first barrier of protection around your home. We also offer bi-monthly services for very few customers that like to have more frequent services throughout the year. Callbacks are free when you sign up for our KILL365 pest control program. If you ever see ants or roaches inside your Boca Raton home, we will come back at no additional charge.
Ant Control In Boca Raton, FL
South Florida’s tropical climate is ideal for ants to be active year-round. In Boca Raton, we have to deal with several species of ants: sugar ants, bigheaded ants, crazy ants, pyramid ants, pharaoh ants, thief ants, white-footed ants, acrobat ants, and carpenter ants. Sugar ants and bigheaded ants are the most common species that invade homes in Boca Raton.
Sugar ants are very tiny and because they are hard to see, they are also known as ghost ants. Sugar ants are very fond of foods high in carbohydrates. Outdoors, they will eat honeydew that they collect from aphids, mealybugs, and other plant-feeding insects. Inside the home, they feed on sweets such as fruit juice, honey, sports drinks, candies, granola bars, etc. Thief ants and pharaoh ants are similar in size to sugar ants, but they prefer food of high protein content like meats, animal fats, oils, seeds, dairy products, and dead insects. All three ant species forage in trails and they can be easily mistaken by poorly trained technicians. The best way to get rid of these ants is to treat the exterior and the interior of your home simultaneously. GOTBUGSIKILL technicians are trained to use a combination of non-repellent insecticides and baits specific to their needs. With our approach, we will eliminate these tiny ants from your Boca Raton home for good.
Bigheaded ants also invade Boca Raton residents quite frequently. Bigheaded ants are notorious for making sand piles on driveways and patios. To make room for the expanding colony they push sand out from under paver, stones, patio blocks, and slabs. Bigheaded ants also nest under the root systems of large trees. This species has multiple queens, and they create supercolonies that expand beyond property lines. Bigheaded ants make their way inside homes through cracks in the slab or expansion joints. If you notice mounds of sand that never go away after cleaning them up, you have a severe bigheaded ant infestation under your home. Our liquid treatment and special baiting program will put an end to this ant problem, guaranteed!
White-footed and carpenter ants are less common than the other species, but they are highly intrusive. No matter what ant species is invading your Boca Raton home, it is important that you hire the best exterminator you can find. You probably heard the phrase “Knowledge is Power.” GOTBUGSIKILL’s power lies in the fact that we have the most capable and trained pest control professionals in South Florida. Do-it-yourself treatments are quick fixes that almost never work and can possibly cost you more money to correct by an exterminator.
Some over-the-counter products are useless and should never be used to eliminate ants in your home. Usually, over-the-counter products are repellents that promote budding. When the ant colony is under distress, they will split up to avoid the poison in the sprays or powders. Budding creates multiple colonies, making the situation worst.

Cockroach Control In Boca Raton, FL
Nobody likes to see roaches inside their home. Some people are even frightened by the mere presence of them. Cockroaches are nasty-looking insects for sure, but they can also spread bacteria and parasitic worms. Roaches pose danger to humans because of their natural habit of feeding and harboring in unsanitary places such as sewers, garbage, and bathrooms. E. coli and salmonella are the most common food poising bacteria that roaches can carry on their bodies. Some people even have allergic reactions to the allergens cockroaches produce from their saliva, feces, and decaying body parts when they die.
South Florida is the natural habitat for palmetto roaches. Living in Boca Raton means that we must fight these crawling creatures all the time or they will overrun our homes. Palmetto roaches are peridomestic insects, meaning they can live indoors and outdoors. Finding a single cockroach once is great while it is normal for south Florida. However, once you find them every day or every week, it is not good. At this point, they are living and reproducing inside your home.
With little moisture, palmetto roaches, also known as American roaches, can live inside walls, cabinets, attics, and garages. The only way to get rid of American roaches once they are established inside your home is with the help of an experienced exterminator. At GOTBUGSIKILL, we are experts in the elimination of cockroaches. We use every tool at our disposal to treat every single space they are living in. With the right combination of insecticidal dust and baits, we will evict them for good.
German roaches occasionally invade Boca Raton residences as well. German roaches are considered domestic pests because they cannot live outdoors. Pest control professionals and entomologists often referred to German roaches as commensal pests, meaning that German roaches benefit from living in close association with humans. The approach to successfully eradicate German roaches is different than that of palmetto roaches. German roaches have a high reproductive potential. A single female can produce 200-400 eggs in a life span. One female cockroach and her offspring can produce hundreds of thousands of roaches in one year. Once inside your home, they will feed on almost anything, including toothpaste.
German roaches are commonly introduced into our homes via cardboard boxes from grocery stores and other paper packaging materials. These roaches can also hide inside secondhand appliances such as microwaves, blenders, stoves, and refrigerators. Never bring cardboard boxes or secondhand appliances into your home without checking them first, unless you are ready to pay an exterminator several hundred dollars to eliminate them. The difference between GOTBUGSIKILL and other pest control companies in Boca Raton is that after we get rid of the pests infesting your home, we teach you about pest prevention.
Having the right exterminator alongside you that knows what they’re doing makes a huge difference and, in the long run, will save you money. Following the initial extermination, our KILL365 pest control program will keep cockroaches away and your family safe.

Mosquito Control In Boca Raton, FL
Living in beautiful Boca Raton and not being able to enjoy your backyard with family and friends because mosquitoes are hungry for a blood meal is not a pleasant situation. Thanks to GOTBUGSIKILL’s mosquito mitigation program, we will keep the mosquito population very low so you can spend time out in your yard with your loved ones without having to endure constant bites. Besides the pain from their bites, mosquitoes are also vectors of many human diseases such as Zika virus, dengue fever, malaria, yellow fever, etc. Did you know mosquitoes are the deadliest insect in the world causing more than one million deaths a year?
In South Florida, mosquitoes are very prevalent during the summer due to the heat and heavy rains. In Palm Beach County, the mosquito season begins in February when the temperatures start to rise. However, mosquitoes are active anytime temperatures are above 70 degrees. In January, the average high temperature for Florida is 76 degrees so it is not uncommon to see a few mosquitoes during the winter.
After a storm, rainwater can accumulate in various water-holding containers such as gutters, flower pots, tree holes, birdbaths, old tires, buckets, kid’s toys, etc. The Aedes family of mosquitoes use these breeding grounds to lay eggs. In Boca Raton, we often find two species of mosquitoes, Aedes albopictus (known as Asian tiger mosquitoes) and Aedes aegypti (known as yellow fever mosquitoes).
The Aedes mosquito can produce 100-200 eggs per batch. During a lifetime, females can produce five batches of eggs. By killing a single female, we can prevent 1,000 mosquitoes from being born. Females bite up to five times before completing the life cycle. Luckily, male mosquitoes do not bite. Males feed on the sugar from nectar or plant juices for energy. Females also feed on nectar and other sugars for energy; however, they also require the protein of a blood meal for laying a batch of eggs. Each batch of eggs requires a new blood meal.
Before we implement a mosquito control program for your Boca Raton property, our technicians will inspect and identify areas where standing water can potentially accumulate. Elimination of these breeding grounds is crucial to successfully control mosquitoes on your property. We will also look over your neighbor’s property to make sure they don’t have possible breeding grounds as well.
If your backyard is overrun by mosquitoes, it is time to call the best pest control company in Boca Raton. GOTBUGSIKILL will help keep you and your family safe from mosquito-borne diseases. Find out more about our mosquito control services in Boca Raton.
