What’s Bugging Delray Beach Right Now?
Let’s be honest—living here means dealing with pests that other parts of the country don’t even think about. Here are the biggest offenders:
Termites in Delray Beach
Delray Beach has beautiful old houses, especially around Lake Ida and the historic districts. Problem is, termites love old wood even more than you do.
We’re dealing with two types here: drywood termites that live inside your walls and subterranean termites that come up from the ground. They need completely different treatments, which is why a proper inspection matters.
Our termite control starts with figuring out which species you’ve got. Drywood termites might need spot treatments or fumigation (tenting). Subterranean termites get liquid barrier treatments or bait stations around your foundation.
Either way, catching them early saves you thousands in termite damage repair. We’ve seen cases where homeowners ignored the problem and ended up with structural damage that cost $15,000+ to fix. The termite treatment cost is nothing compared to that.
Ghost Ants in Delray Beach
Most people call them sugar ants, but they’re actually ghost ants—and they’re the most common pest complaint we get in Delray Beach. They’re tiny, almost see-through, and they build nests everywhere: behind appliances, in wall voids, under sinks, inside electrical outlets.
Here’s why they’re so hard to get rid of: killing the workers you see doesn’t do anything. The queens are hidden somewhere else, constantly pumping out more ants. You need bait that the workers carry back to the queens.
Our ant control uses professional-grade baits that aren’t available in stores. We also treat the exterior to stop new colonies from moving in. Most people see results within a week, but it takes about 2-3 weeks to completely eliminate them.
We also handle fire ants in yards—those are a whole different beast that need granular treatments.
Rodents in Delray Beach
Roof rats are everywhere in Delray Beach. They’re also called palm rats because they love living in palm trees and using the fronds to jump onto roofs. If you’ve got mature trees touching your house or live near the Intracoastal, you’ve probably got rats.
Signs you have them:
- Scratching sounds at night
- Droppings in the attic or garage
- Chewed wires or insulation
- Grease marks along walls where they run
We don’t mess around with rodents. Our rodent control process includes trapping the ones inside, sealing up every entry point we find (they can squeeze through holes the size of a quarter), and treating the exterior to discourage new ones.
If your attic is contaminated with droppings and urine, we also do cleanup and insulation replacement.
Mosquitoes in Delray Beach
Mosquitoes in Delray Beach aren’t just annoying—they can carry diseases like West Nile virus and dengue. Our coastal location and all the retention ponds create perfect breeding conditions.
Our mosquito control targets them at two stages: larvae (in standing water) and adults (resting in vegetation). We treat monthly during peak season and can usually reduce mosquito populations by 70-90%.
You should be able to enjoy your patio without getting eaten alive.
Residential & Commercial Pest Control Delray Beach
Different Neighborhoods, Different Pest Issues
Coastal areas (Seagate, Delray Beach Shores, waterfront properties) deal with moisture pests, termites drawn to the humidity, and rodents coming from vegetation near the water.
Downtown and historic districts (Lake Ida, Historic Palm Trail, Pineapple Grove) have older construction that gives pests more entry points—plus termite risks in aging wood.
Western Delray (High Point, Rainberry Bay, Kingspoint) tends to see more yard pests like fire ants and the occasional snake or iguana issue.
Luxury communities (The Set, Mizner Country Club, Delray Dunes) want discreet service that doesn’t draw attention. We get it—our trucks are unmarked if you prefer.
Our residential pest control plans adjust based on where you live and what pests are most active in your neighborhood.
Pest Control for Delray Beach Businesses
One roach sighting can tank a restaurant’s reputation. One rodent and you fail a health inspection. Businesses can’t afford pest problems.
Atlantic Avenue restaurants and bars need aggressive cockroach control—German roaches breed fast in commercial kitchens. We know the health codes and what inspectors look for.
Pineapple Grove retail shops can’t have ants or spiders scaring off customers. Our treatments are discreet and effective.
Hotels and vacation rentals need bed bug prevention programs. One bad review about bed bugs and you’re done. Our bed bug exterminator cost varies by property size, but prevention is always cheaper than treatment.
Office buildings get regular service during off-hours so we don’t disrupt your business.
