You deal with a variety of pests, and while they can certainly be annoying, generally, they aren’t dangerous. However, there are certain pests here in Central Florida that cross that line from nuisance to potential danger.
Also known as ‘vector pests,’ certain insects can transmit diseases to people. That’s why exterminators, like Forest Pest Control, offer a comprehensive pest control service that targets these pests, which include:
- Fleas
- Ticks
- Mosquitoes
- Fire Ants
If you don’t want these major pest threats crossing into your space, there’s an easy solution. Forest Pest Control offers specialized pest control for vector pests.
Diseases Transmitted by These Insects
- Fleas: Plague (caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria), Murine Typhus, and cat scratch disease.
- Ticks: Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Bourbon virus, Colorado tick fever, Ehrlichiosis, Heartland virus, Lyme disease, Powassan virus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, southern tick-associated rash illness (STARI), and Tularemia.
- Mosquitoes: West Nile Virus, Malaria, Zika, Dengue fever, Yellow fever, and Chikungunya.
Fire ants don’t technically transmit any diseases, but they can cause allergic reactions and leave painful marks from their bites.
Why do we offer vector pest extermination services?
As a pest control company, we know which pests our customers are dealing with regularly, and which pests have the potential to cause major problems.
- Fleas can quickly take hold and be extremely difficult to eliminate.
- Ticks can transmit a wide variety of diseases to humans.
- As can mosquitoes – and that doesn’t even get into their maddeningly itchy bites!
- Fire ants have painful stings and can quickly swarm.
Bottom line: these are four pests you don’t want to have showing up on your property. Getting rid of them requires a specialized approach with regular maintenance, and that’s what we offer. You can trust us to get the job done for you.

What if we find fleas or ticks?
If we find fleas or ticks, our expert technicians will treat your outdoor spaces, including lawns, shrubs, and recreational areas, to effectively eliminate fleas and ticks. Using state-of-the-art products and technology, we target these pests at their source, reducing their populations and minimizing the risk of infestation. Comprehensive treatments from Forest Pest Control cover all potential hiding spots, such as tall grass, shrubs, and shaded areas. With regular applications, we create a protective barrier that helps keep your outdoor living spaces pest-free.
How does mosquito control work?
For effective mosquito control, we employ an exterior treatment that’s placed around your home and the perimeter of your yard. Around your home, our technician has focused on identifying and treating areas where mosquitoes may breed, such as stagnant water sources or areas of high humidity. By eliminating these breeding sites, we aim to reduce mosquito populations.
To create a protective barrier against future mosquito infestations, our technician has performed exterior treatments. This includes treating outdoor areas such as the yard, gardens, patios, and other mosquito-prone locations. We have utilized safe and effective methods to control mosquitoes, including targeted sprays to reduce adult mosquito populations and larvicides to target mosquito larvae in standing water.
How are fire ants exterminated?
Our fire ant exterminators specialize in targeting and eradicating fire ant populations for a safe and enjoyable environment. Using specialized products and techniques, we locate and treat fire ant mounds, disrupting their colonies and preventing their spread.
With our comprehensive service, we provide long-lasting control and protection against these aggressive pests. In addition to the bait application, our technician has performed a thorough inspection of your property to identify and treat any visible fire ant mounds. The technician has carefully treated each mound with a specialized insecticide, delivering quick knockdown and long-lasting control.
Furthermore, we have conducted a granular treatment in key harborage areas where fire ants are likely to nest. This targeted approach disrupts the ants’ natural behavior, discouraging them from establishing new colonies and reducing their overall presence on your property.
Protect Your Home & Family from Major Pest Threats
Some pest threats are more nuisances than hazards, and if you can deal with the annoyance, there’s not much additional risk. However, we’ve singled out fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and fire ants as pests in our region that have the potential to cause much more damage.
