Frequently Asked Questions
If you have questions about pest control services, treatments, or what to expect during a service visit, you’re not alone. Below are answers to some of the most common questions homeowners and businesses ask about pest control services and how Freedom Pest Solutions helps protect properties across Florida’s Space Coast, Treasure Coast, and Central Florida.
If you need additional information, our team is always happy to help.
How often should pest control be performed in Florida?
Because of Florida’s warm climate and high humidity, pests remain active throughout the entire year. Homes and businesses across the Space Coast, Treasure Coast, and Central Florida regions typically benefit from quarterly pest control services to maintain consistent protection.
Routine treatments help maintain a protective barrier around the property that prevents pests such as ants, cockroaches, spiders, and rodents from entering the structure. In areas with higher pest pressure — especially near water, dense landscaping, or coastal environments — more frequent treatments may be recommended.
Preventative pest control is almost always more effective and affordable than waiting until a major infestation develops.
Are pest control treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes. Professional pest control treatments are applied carefully and responsibly using methods designed to target pests while minimizing risk to people and pets.
At Freedom Pest Solutions, our technicians follow industry best practices and provide clear guidance regarding any precautions that may be recommended following a service visit. In most cases, treatments are applied to exterior areas of the home where pests enter the structure, reducing the need for interior applications.
If interior treatments are necessary, our technicians will explain exactly what to expect and provide instructions to ensure your family and pets remain safe.
What pests are most common in the Space Coast, Treasure Coast, and Central Florida?
Florida’s climate supports a wide variety of pest species. Some of the most common pests found throughout Brevard County, the Treasure Coast, and Central Florida include:
• Ants
• Cockroaches (including palmetto bugs)
• Subterranean termites
• Mosquitoes
• Rodents such as roof rats and house mice
• Spiders
• Wasps and hornets
• Fleas and ticks
• Nuisance wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and opossums
The specific pest pressures may vary slightly between coastal communities and inland areas, but year-round pest activity is common throughout the entire region.
Do you offer pest control services for both homes and businesses?
Yes. Freedom Pest Solutions provides pest management services for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Space Coast, Treasure Coast, and Central Florida.
Residential services focus on protecting homes from common household pests, while commercial pest management programs are designed to meet the specific needs of businesses such as:
• Restaurants
• Office buildings
• Retail stores
• Medical facilities
• Warehouses
• Property management companies
• Hospitality properties
Commercial pest programs are typically customized based on the type of business and the level of pest protection required.
Do you offer termite inspections and termite treatments?
Yes. Termites are one of the most serious pest threats throughout Florida, particularly in areas with sandy soil and high moisture levels.
Freedom Pest Solutions provides professional termite services including:
• Termite inspections
• Preventative termite protection
• Treatment of active infestations
• Long-term monitoring solutions
Because termite damage can occur silently for years before becoming visible, routine termite inspections are recommended for homes and businesses throughout the region.
How do I know if I have a termite problem?
Termites often remain hidden, but there are several warning signs property owners should watch for, including:
• Mud tubes along foundations or walls
• Swarming termites inside or around the property
• Discarded termite wings near windows or doors
• Hollow or damaged wood
• Bubbling or blistering paint
If you notice any of these signs, it is important to schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible. Early detection can prevent significant structural damage.
Do mosquito treatments really work?
Yes. Professional mosquito control treatments can significantly reduce mosquito populations around homes and businesses when applied properly.
Our mosquito control services focus on targeting mosquito breeding areas and applying treatments to vegetation and shaded areas where mosquitoes commonly rest.
These services are especially beneficial for properties with:
• Outdoor patios
• Swimming pools
• Backyard living areas
• Waterfront locations
• Dense landscaping
Routine mosquito treatments can greatly improve the comfort of outdoor spaces throughout Florida’s warmer months.
What should I do before my pest control service?
Most pest control services require very little preparation. In general, property owners may be asked to:
• Ensure access to the exterior perimeter of the home
• Secure pets during the service visit
• Remove clutter from areas requiring treatment if interior service is scheduled
Your technician will provide clear instructions if any specific preparation is required prior to your appointment.
Do you offer ongoing pest prevention plans?
Yes. Freedom Pest Solutions offers pest control membership programs designed to provide year-round protection for homes and businesses.
These preventative service plans include routine inspections and scheduled treatments that help maintain pest barriers around the property.
Benefits of preventative pest control plans include:
• Consistent pest protection
• Reduced risk of infestations
• Priority service scheduling
• Lower long-term pest control costs
Many homeowners throughout the Space Coast and surrounding regions choose preventative pest plans as the most reliable way to keep their properties protected.
