Pest Control in the Lake Jackson Area

The Lake Jackson area of north Tallahassee wraps around one of Florida's famous prairie lakes — a large, shallow, wildlife-rich body of water known for periodically draining through its sinkholes. For residents, the lake and the wooded, semi-rural lots around it are the whole appeal, and they're also the biggest driver of pest pressure.

Mosquitoes are the headline

A large, shallow lake with fluctuating water levels, surrounding wetlands and damp wooded yards adds up to some of the heaviest mosquito pressure in the Tallahassee area. Standing water is everywhere in the wet season, and mosquitoes breed in any of it. Effective control here means treating yard harborage and knocking out the standing-water breeding sites you can reach. See mosquito control.

The rest of the lakeside mix

Wildlife

Lakeside woods bring raccoons, opossums, squirrels and more looking for attic and soffit access. See wildlife removal.

Fire ants

Sunny yards and the disturbed soil common around a fluctuating lake are fire ant territory — fresh mounds appear fast after rain. See fire ant control.

Spiders

Abundant insect prey around water and woods means abundant spiders, including the widow species worth keeping out of garages and sheds.

Ants and roaches

Damp, wooded lots keep ants and palmetto bugs pressing toward homes year-round.

Water is the theme

Nearly every Lake Jackson pest issue ties back to water and the life it supports. You can't drain the lake — but you can control the harborage and standing water around your own home, and seal the structure, which is exactly where we focus.
