At Dave’s Pest Control, it’s no surprise that we come across all manner of pests here in Florida. At least in the Port Orange area, it’s almost always warm and very humid — just what pests love! In today’s blog, our pest control team talks a little bit about the most common pests that we encounter on a day-to-day basis. To learn more about Dave’s Pest Control or to recruit
When spiders are often seen , they induce sudden panic and fear. This picture is the common “wolf” spider. (Often incorrectly called huntsman or jumping spiders.) Considered high risk with a painful bite, these spiders however do not inject enough venom to kill a human. These spiders do not spin webs and wait for prey to get stuck. They go out and hunt for food. They primarily consume cockroaches, small
Mice and rats are amongst some of the most common pests that people find in their homes. They are experts in stealth and are surprisingly clever when it comes to being undetected. However, they can usually be detected from the clues they leave behind — clues meaning droppings, unfortunately. But, there are some steps that you can take to actively prevent rodents from entering your home in the first place.Â

Mosquitoes – Ugh! We’ve all encountered these annoying tiny insects whose very sound causes us to cringe. Then there’s the irritating itch, followed by red bumps. Both are the result of an allergic reaction to the saliva of mosquitoes when they land and bite. It’s not really a bite – the female mosquito pierces your skin using her proboscis, a narrow part of the mouth, in an effort to find
Bed bugs. The very thought of them makes us shudder. We’ve heard horror stories of infestations and want to do everything in our power to fight against these bed bugs. But what exactly are bed bugs? And how can you prevent them? And if you do have bed bugs, how do you deal with them? In this post, we’re going to break down the what, why, and how of bed
Creepy crawlies! Vermin! Bugs! Whatever you call them, it’s no secret that pests are everywhere, invading our homes, gardens, picnics, and stealing our peace and quiet. One minute you’re watching a quiet documentary about gardening, the next you’re dealing with an ant infestation. And there are times when, for whatever reason, you need to deal with pests naturally, without the use of chemicals. This presents a problem for most people.

Why Mosquitoes Are a Big Deal Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying, they can carry diseases like West Nile Virus, Zika, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Traditional repellents or sprays might help for a
“Vector” is an important term in the pest control industry, but one that most people don’t know. More specifically, organisms are “vectors” if they can transmit diseases. Implicitly, these are some of the most threatening pests–pests that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, vectors in the pest control industry are arguably at an all time high. Bed bugs, fleas, ticks, mosquitos and even the mysterious conenose kissing bug; a killers row
