Pests We Treat in Spring Hill, FL — RexPest’s Solutions for "What's Bugging You"
From ants and roaches to termites and rodents, RexPest treats every major household pest in Spring Hill and surrounding Florida communities. Learn more about the specific pests we handle and how our targeted solutions keep your home safe all year long.
Ants (Formicidae)
Spring Hill is home to aggressive ant species like Ghost Ants (Tapinoma melanocephalum), Carpenter Ants (Camponotus floridanus), and Red Imported Fire Ants (Solenopsis invicta). These ants can invade in massive numbers — some bite, others cause structural damage. RexPest targets the nest, not just the surface, for long-term, species-specific control. ✅ Safe for families and pets ✅ Eco-friendly interior and exterior treatments.
Roaches (Blattodea)
Florida’s roaches are infamous. Common species include German Cockroaches (Blattella germanica), American Cockroaches (Periplaneta americana), Smokybrown Cockroaches (Periplaneta fuliginosa), and Florida Woods Cockroaches (Eurycotis floridana). They contaminate food, spread bacteria, and thrive in warm, moist areas like kitchens and attics. RexPest uses targeted baits and residual treatments inside cabinets, appliances, wall voids, and attic spaces — eliminating roaches where they live and breed.
Spiders (Araneae)
Spring Hill homes attract Southern Black Widows (Latrodectus mactans), Orb Weavers (Araneus spp.), and Florida Woods Spiders (Trichonephila clavipes). Most are harmless, but black widows can be dangerous to children and pets. Spider infestations often signal other insect problems — their food source. RexPest eliminates both spiders and the insects they hunt, using long-lasting treatments and sealing entry points to prevent return.
Termites (Isoptera)
Florida faces heavy termite pressure from Eastern Subterranean Termites (Reticulitermes flavipes), Formosan Termites (Coptotermes formosanus), and Asian Subterranean Termites (Coptotermes gestroi). These destructive pests silently eat through wood and often go unnoticed until severe damage occurs. RexPest uses baiting systems, soil barrier treatments, and annual inspections to protect your home with a renewable guarantee — up to 10 years of coverage.
Fleas & Ticks (Siphonaptera & Ixodidae)
Common species include Cat Fleas (Ctenocephalides felis), Dog Fleas (Ctenocephalides canis), and Brown Dog Ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus). These parasites transmit diseases like Lyme, tapeworms, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. RexPest treats indoor areas, pet zones, and outdoor breeding sites to protect your pets and family year-round.
Pantry Pests
Frequent invaders include Indian Meal Moths (Plodia interpunctella), Rice Weevils (Sitophilus oryzae), and Sawtoothed Grain Beetles (Oryzaephilus surinamensis). They infest stored foods like flour, cereal, and pet food, contaminating entire pantries. RexPest identifies the source, removes the infestation, and advises on prevention for long-term protection.
Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius)
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers that feed at night. They spread via luggage, furniture, and clothing, leaving itchy red welts. RexPest combines heat, steam, dust, and chemical treatments to eliminate bed bugs at every life stage and performs follow-up inspections to ensure full eradication.
Wasps, Hornets & Bees (Hymenoptera)
Beneficial species like honeybees pollinate plants, but Paper Wasps (Polistes annularis), Yellowjackets (Vespula spp.), and Bald-Faced Hornets (Dolichovespula maculata) can be aggressive. They often build nests in eaves, trees, or ground cavities. RexPest safely removes active nests and applies treatments to prevent re-nesting — protecting your home while preserving beneficial pollinators when possible.
Rodents & Wildlife
Common nuisance animals include Roof Rats (Rattus rattus), House Mice (Mus musculus), Squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), Raccoons (Procyon lotor), and Opossums (Didelphis virginiana). They chew wires, damage insulation, and spread parasites like fleas and ticks. RexPest provides humane trapping, entry-point sealing, and attic cleanup to restore safety and prevent re-entry.
Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina)
Silverfish thrive in dark, humid spaces like bathrooms and attics. They feed on paper, glue, fabrics, and wallpaper, causing costly damage to books, clothing, and photos. RexPest locates hidden infestations and applies targeted treatments to eliminate silverfish and protect your belongings.
Flies & Gnats (Diptera)
Common species include House Flies (Musca domestica), Drain Flies (Psychoda alternata), Fruit Flies (Drosophila melanogaster), and Fungus Gnats (Bradysia spp.). They spread bacteria and breed in garbage, drains, and soil. RexPest treats breeding areas with drain gels, growth regulators, and residual barriers to stop fly and gnat infestations at the source.
Occasional Invaders
Occasional pests include Scorpions (Centruroides hentzi), Millipedes (Diplopoda), Centipedes (Chilopoda), Boxelder Bugs (Boisea trivittata), Stink Bugs (Halyomorpha halys), and even Garter Snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis). These invaders usually appear seasonally or after heavy rain. RexPest inspects, removes, and seals entry points to keep them out.
Mosquitoes & Biting Flies
Common Florida species include Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Aedes albopictus. These mosquitoes carry Zika, West Nile, and Heartworm, thriving in standing water and shaded areas. RexPest uses long-lasting barrier sprays, traps, and larval site control to reduce mosquito populations and protect outdoor living spaces.
