Pest Control in Southeast Tallahassee

Southeast Tallahassee — the corridor running out along Apalachee Parkway toward Capitola and Chaires — is a blend of established suburban neighborhoods and a semi-rural, lightly agricultural edge. That transition from town to country is what shapes the pest pressure: you get suburban pests up close and country pests pushing in from the surrounding land.

The suburban-to-rural mix

Fire ants

Open lots, sunny yards and disturbed ground along this corridor are classic fire ant country. Mounds appear across lawns and pasture edges, surging after rain. See fire ant control.

Rodents

The rural and agricultural edge, plus outbuildings, sheds and barns on larger lots, gives rats and mice more to work with than a dense subdivision. Sealing the structure — including any outbuildings — is the durable fix.

Palmetto bugs and occasional invaders

Wooded edges, mulch and leaf litter keep palmetto bugs and millipedes and centipedes pressing toward homes, especially after heavy rain.

Wildlife and mosquitoes

Larger, greener lots near woods and drainage bring wildlife and mosquitoes into the picture too.

Larger lots, more structures

Many southeast properties have more than one building — a shed, workshop, barn or detached garage. Pests don't respect property lines or building lines, so effective control means inspecting and sealing every structure, not just the house.
