01
Full exterior inspection
The technician walks the property with a printed floor plan and a flashlight. Foundation line, eaves, vents, weep holes, anything attached to the house — it all gets a look. Findings get plotted on the plan.
A quarterly pest plan with the per-visit price locked from day one.
Every three months a licensed Lakeland Pest Pros technician walks the property, treats whatever's active, and seals up to five easy entry points. The price is fixed for the year. If activity comes back between visits, the re-treatment is part of the plan.

Visit scope
What's inside a single visit
Four things. Every visit. Same scope, different focus depending on the season.
02
Targeted application
The product is chosen for the pest and the season, not whatever's already loaded in the truck. Treatment stays on the active zones. We don't blanket-spray the lawn just because we showed up.
03
Sealing and exclusion
Up to five exterior entry points get sealed per visit, included in the per-visit price. If the property turns out to need more than five, the rest is scoped on the same visit and quoted in writing.
04
Written work order
Each visit closes with a one-page report. Copy at the door, copy on file. Nothing for you to remember between visits.
Quarterly cadence
Four visits across the four seasons
Florida's pest pressure runs on a calendar, and so do we.
-
01 · Spring · March–May
Ant trails appearing in driveways, subterranean and drywood termites swarming on the first humid afternoons, mosquitoes hatching as the spring rains land. The work concentrates on the foundation line and the property perimeter — most of the prevention happens there.
-
02 · Summer · June–August
Wasps build nests under the eaves. Argentine ants treat irrigation lines like highways. Spider activity spikes in the garage and patio zones. The visit shifts outward to the structures around the front door.
-
03 · Fall · September–November
Roof rats start coming indoors right around the first cool nights — mid-October most years, earlier in the old-canopy streets of Bartow and Winter Haven. German roach pressure climbs in multi-unit buildings. The visit moves to the attic and every exterior-wall penetration.
-
04 · Winter · December–February
Drywood termite swarmers come out of coastal-influence neighborhoods on warm winter afternoons. Rodent reinforcement continues. Interior inspection becomes the priority, because the activity moves indoors when temperatures drop.
Scope
What the plan covers, and what gets scoped on its own
Spelled out so there's no surprise on the second visit.
Inside the plan
The usual household pests — ants, roaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, crickets. Mice and rats too, interior trapping and exterior bait stations together. Wasps and stinging insects on the perimeter. We also keep an eye on termite-prone zones we noted on the first inspection and flag activity in the report when we find it.
Scoped separately
Active termite infestations get their own scope of work. So do bed bug treatments, rodent exclusions needing more than five entry points sealed, fumigation jobs, and wildlife removal (raccoons, opossums, squirrels). If a visit turns one of these up, the work order calls it out and we quote separately.

30-day window
The 30-day comeback, spelled out
If the same pest activity returns within 30 days of a Home Protection visit, we come back at no charge. The 30 days start on the visit's work-order date. The work order names the pest, the treatment used, and the zones treated, so there's nothing to negotiate later.
- → Same pest, same zone, inside 30 days — covered.
- → New pest or new infestation — scoped separately.
- → Outside the 30 days — covered by the next quarterly visit.
FAQ
Questions we field on the booking call
Are the products safe around kids and pets?
Exterior applications dry in about half an hour and live outside, where pets and kids aren't. Interior work uses pet-safe formulations and you get a specific dry time before any application begins. Flag a pregnancy, an infant, or a known allergy on the call and we'll match the product class accordingly.
What if I see a pest between scheduled visits?
If the pest is in-scope and the last visit was within 30 days, we come out free. If it's a brand-new pest or the 30 days have already lapsed, the next quarterly visit catches it — or we book a one-off at a subscriber discount.
Do I need to be home when you arrive?
Almost always no. Most visits run on the exterior. We need a gate code, the dog secured, and access to the side yards. We text on arrival and leave the work order at the door or send it to your inbox.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Home Protection runs month-to-month after the first visit — no annual contract. Give us fourteen days' notice before the next scheduled visit and that visit drops off the bill.
How is Home Protection different from a single-visit treatment?
A single-visit treatment clears a problem already visible. Home Protection prevents the next one and catches small problems before they grow. Active infestation now? Start with the single visit. Want a recurring problem to stop being recurring? Start with the plan.
Which Polk County cities are on the regular route?
Greater Lakeland plus Winter Haven, Auburndale, Bartow, Haines City, Davenport, and Mulberry on the standard run. Outside that ring? Pick up the phone. We cover farther across Polk on a routed-day basis.
Book the inspection. Sign on after, if it makes sense.
Most Home Protection signups begin with a free phone consult and an on-site inspection. We send the plan and the quote in writing. You decide whether to start.
