Restaurant and commercial property owners — your dumpster area is the first place a health inspector looks for a rodent problem.

The fix: keep lids closed, pressure wash weekly, use a concrete pad (not gravel), trim vegetation back 3 feet, and maintain tamper-resistant bait stations monthly. Simple steps that protect your business.

Roof rats are one of the most common — and most overlooked — pest problems in Tampa Bay.

If you're hearing scratching at night or finding droppings in your attic, start here: trim all tree branches at least 4 feet from your roofline. They're using those as a highway onto your roof.

Quick myth bust: mothballs do NOT keep snakes away — and they contain chemicals toxic to pets and kids.

What actually works is removing what snakes are after: tall grass, debris, and rodents. Eliminate the food source and the snakes go elsewhere.

Found a wasp nest near your front door? Before you do anything — wait until dark.

Wasps are most aggressive when they feel threatened, and during the day every one of them is active. Small nest? Treat it at night with a long-range spray. Larger than a tennis ball? Call a professional — it's not worth the risk.

Think a clean house means no bugs? Not always.

Termites eat wood. Bed bugs want body heat. Mosquitoes breed in standing water. Roaches only need moisture and an entry point. Cleanliness helps — but it's only one piece of the puzzle.

Just bought a new home in Florida? Pest control should be one of your first calls.

New construction disturbs termite and ant colonies in the ground — and your fresh wood and sealed-in moisture is exactly what they're looking for. New homes also settle in the first year, creating tiny gaps that insects find immediately.

Restaurant owners — a customer finding a bug in their food is every manager's nightmare. How you respond in the next 5 minutes matters.

Apologize sincerely. Replace the meal. Comp the check. Have a manager personally handle the table. Then call your pest control company for an emergency inspection that same day.

Getting eaten alive outside but can't see what's biting you? It's probably no-see-ums. 🦟

These tiny biting midges fit right through standard window screens. Their bites cause welts that last for days. Use 20-mesh screens, run fans on your porch, avoid dawn and dusk — and call us for a professional misting treatment.

Still getting bugs after spraying your house? You're treating the symptom — not the source.

Bugs come in through cracks in the foundation, gaps under doors, or moisture problems you haven't found yet. If you don't seal the entry point, you'll be spraying on repeat forever.

A proper inspection identifies exactly where they're coming from. Potter Pest Prevention serves Tampa Bay. Book your free inspection today!

Found a rat inside your home? Don't panic — but don't ignore it either.

Close off the room, set snap traps along walls with peanut butter, and check for droppings to find their travel path. Then call a professional. One rat means there's an entry point — and a pathway means more will follow.
