Protecting Buffalo Homes and Properties

Buffalo’s the biggest town in Leon County. County seat. Good schools. Mix of in-town neighborhoods and rural properties just outside city limits.

The pest problems are consistent though. Fire ants in yards. Mosquitoes near wooded areas. Termites targeting older homes. Roaches, spiders, rodents – they’re all here.

We’ve been handling pest control in Buffalo since 2006. We know the area. We know what works.

Pest Pressure Around Buffalo

Fire Ants Across Town

Buffalo’s got sandy soil and warm weather – fire ants love it. They build aggressive colonies in yards, parks, playgrounds. Painful stings that ruin outdoor activities.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Keeps them knocked down year-round.

Mosquitoes During Warm Months

Properties with trees, landscaping, or low spots get hit with mosquitoes from April through October. Makes summers miserable if you’re trying to enjoy your yard.

Monthly mosquito treatments reduce populations significantly. Barrier sprays and In2Care breeding control make outdoor living possible.

Termites in Older Neighborhoods

Buffalo’s got established neighborhoods with older homes. Termites love properties with wood siding, pier and beam foundations, wood-to-soil contact.

We inspect for termites, treat active infestations with Termidor, and install Sentricon monitoring systems for ongoing protection.

Rodents Finding Their Way Inside

Mice and rats get into attics and walls, especially in older areas. They chew wiring, contaminate insulation, reproduce fast.

We trap inside, place exterior bait stations, and seal entry points to prevent reinfestation.

What Buffalo Properties Need

In-Town Homes

Essential or Premium Plan works for most. Quarterly treatments handle ants, roaches, spiders, everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.

Older Neighborhoods

Older homes need regular monitoring. Quarterly pest control plus attention to termites, carpenter ants, moisture issues.

Premium or Elite Plan recommended. More comprehensive protection.

Rural Properties Outside Town

More land means more pest pressure. Fire ants, mosquitoes, wildlife. Outbuildings attract rodents and spiders.

Premium or Elite gives better coverage for rural challenges.

Rental Properties

Buffalo’s got a rental market. Tenants expect pest-free properties. Regular service protects your investment.

We work with landlords for ongoing maintenance and quick response to issues.

Common Pest Problems in Buffalo

Spiders in and Around Homes

Black widows in garages and storage. Brown recluse in closets and attics. Wolf spiders on floors. Orb weavers across walkways.

We treat where spiders actually live. Vegetation, under structures, harborage areas, entry points. Not just baseboards.

Ants Invading Kitchens

Argentine ants, rover ants, odorous house ants – they follow moisture and food into homes. Once they establish trails, they keep coming back unless you treat the colony.

We locate the source, treat it directly, and create barriers.

Wasps Building Nests

Paper wasps, red wasps, mud daubers – they nest under eaves, in attics, on furniture. Aggressive when disturbed.

We remove nests as part of regular service. Essential up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite up to 30 feet.

German Roaches in Some Properties

Small kitchen roaches that breed fast. Need specialized clean-out treatment – not included in regular plans.

We quote German roach clean-outs separately based on severity.
