Navigating Tallahassee's Pest Problems: What We Treat
Tallahassee's distinct blend of urban development and natural beauty, coupled with its warm, humid climate, creates a welcoming environment for a variety of pests. Our team is equipped to address the most common and challenging pest issues faced by homeowners and businesses across the city.
- Termites. Our technicians deploy advanced termite control systems to create a protective barrier and target colonies, helping safeguard your investment.
- Ants. We identify the species, locate their nesting sites, and apply targeted baiting and barrier treatments designed to disrupt the entire colony.
- Bed Bugs. Our comprehensive bed bug treatment plans are designed to target every life stage, improving your ability to stop their rapid spread throughout your property.
- Bees & Wasps. Our technicians are trained to identify different species and their nesting behaviors, allowing us to implement appropriate removal or relocation strategies.
- Cockroaches. Our treatments focus on precision application in harborage zones and cracks, utilizing baits and products to disrupt their life cycle and reduce populations.
- Fleas & Ticks. Our team addresses both indoor and outdoor zones, treating carpets, pet bedding areas, and exterior landscapes where these pests thrive.
- Scorpions. Our services include thorough inspections to identify potential harborage areas and entry points, followed by targeted treatments and recommendations for exclusion.
- Mosquitoes. Our mosquito control strategies target both larval development areas in standing water and adult resting sites in dense vegetation.
Many of these pests are encouraged by the shade and moisture created around homes with dense landscaping, wood decks, or poorly drained yards. When we visit properties near places like Lake Jackson, the downtown canopy roads, or wooded neighborhoods off Thomasville Road, we factor those conditions into our recommendations so you receive pest control that Tallahassee homeowners can align with their specific surroundings.
Our Pest Management Process
At Astro Exterminating Services, we do not believe in a generic approach to pest control. We utilize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to deliver results that are tough on pests but safe for your family, pets, and the environment. Our process is designed to address the root cause of the infestation rather than just treating the symptoms.
- Detailed Inspections: We begin every job with a thorough evaluation of your property to identify pest activity, entry points, and conducive conditions.
- Customized Treatment Plans: Based on our findings, we develop a tailored strategy that accounts for the specific pest species and the extent of the infestation.
- Eco-Friendly Products: We prioritize the use of environmentally friendly products that effectively eliminate pests while minimizing risks to non-target organisms.
- Exclusion and Prevention: Beyond chemical treatments, we recommend and implement physical barriers to stop pests from re-entering your home or business.
- Ongoing Maintenance: We provide recurring services to monitor activity and adjust treatments as seasons change, ensuring long-term protection.
By combining advanced technology with over 55 years of experience, we ensure your property remains secure against unwanted invaders.

The Importance of Professional Service
Attempting to handle pest infestations with DIY methods often leads to frustration and wasted money. Store-bought sprays and traps generally offer only temporary relief, killing visible bugs without addressing the hidden colonies or eggs. Professional exterminators possess the training to identify species correctly and locate the source of the problem, ensuring a more permanent solution.
Furthermore, safety is a major concern when dealing with chemical treatments. Professionals are trained in the precise application of products to avoid contaminating food sources or harming pets and children. They understand the biology of pests and the chemistry of control agents, allowing them to apply the minimum amount necessary for maximum effect, protecting your home's ecosystem.
Finally, regular professional service provides a layer of preventative maintenance that protects your property value. Pests like termites and rodents can cause expensive structural damage before you even notice they are there. A professional eye can spot the early warning signs of these destructive pests, saving homeowners thousands of dollars in potential repairs down the road.

Seasonal Home Maintenance Tips
Preventing pests is a year-round effort that works best when homeowners and professionals work together. Simple changes to your home maintenance routine can drastically reduce the likelihood of an infestation. By making your property less accessible and less attractive to pests, you bolster the effectiveness of professional treatments.
- Seal Entry Points: Inspect the exterior of your home for cracks around windows, doors, and pipes. Caulk small gaps and install weather stripping to keep insects out.
- Manage Moisture: Pests love water. Fix leaky faucets, ensure gutters are draining properly away from the foundation, and use dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements.
- Keep the Kitchen Clean: Crumb-free counters and sealed food containers deny pests the sustenance they need to survive and breed inside your home.
- Maintain Landscaping: Trim tree branches and shrubs so they do not touch the house, as these can act as "bridges" for ants and rodents to access your roof or siding.
- Store Firewood Properly: Keep firewood stacked off the ground and at least 20 feet away from your home to prevent termites and spiders from moving in.
