Florida's Leader in Pest Control, Termites, Bed Bugs, and Lawn Health
Our top priority in pest control is using the most environmentally responsible pest management methods possible while protecting both your family and our environment.
The most common termites in our area are the Eastern Subterranean termite and Formosan termite. Both termites are voracious wood-eaters and can quickly destroy the structural integrity of your home.
Waking up with bug bites and red bumps on your body is not a good way to start the morning. Neither is finding tiny blood spots on your sheets. If this sounds familiar, then it is very likely you have a bed bug problem.
At Superior Spray, we recognize the hassle that property owners experience when Florida's mosquitoes begin to breed nearby. Enjoy the outdoors again with our mosquito reduction program.
We are dedicated to providing the most consistent in industry leading fertilization, insect, disease, and weed control for the exterior of your home. Let us keep your lawn and shrubs pest free all year-round.
In Florida, the health of your tree's is important. Hurricanes can easily uproot a dying tree, causing extreme damage. Moss can choke the life from a tree, as well as bring unwanted pests. Let us bring your trees back to life!

The Health Risks of Rodents Rodents carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans in several ways. Hantavirus is spread through rodent droppings, urine, or saliva and can cause severe respiratory issues. Salmonella is another risk, as rodents contaminate food and surfaces, leading to foodborne illnesses. Rat-bite fever, a bacterial infection, can be transmitted through bites or contact with rodent waste. In addition to these diseases, rodents can trigger allergies and asthma attacks due to their dander and droppings. Property Damage Caused by Rodents Rodents gnaw on wires, which can lead to electrical fires, and on wooden structures, compromising the integrity of your home. Their droppings and urine ruin insulation, stored food, and even furniture. Burrowing rodents, like rats, can weaken foundations and create entryways for other pests. How to Keep Rodents Out for Good Investing in professional exclusion services can help identify vulnerabilities in your home and implement lasting exclusion solutions. Regular inspections for signs of rodents, such as droppings, gnaw marks, and nesting materials, can help catch infestations early. Maintaining a clean environment reduces hiding spots and food sources for rodents. Using preventive measures, such as installing door sweeps, sealing utility openings, and using rodent-proof materials, fortifies your home. Call Superior Spray for Expert Rodent Exclusion Don’t let rodents compromise your family’s safety and comfort. Superior Spray offers professional rodent exclusion services tailored to homes in North and Central Florida. Our team will ensure your property remains rodent-free for good.
Why Do Rodents Invade Homes? Rodents, such as rats and mice, are opportunistic creatures. They seek shelter, food, and water—all of which your home likely provides in abundance. Even the smallest crumbs or unsecured trash can attract rodents. They are particularly drawn to grains, sugary snacks, and pet food. Rodents look for warm, dark, and undisturbed places to nest, such as attics, basements, or wall voids. Leaky pipes, pet water bowls, or standing water make your home more appealing. Key Behavioral Insights Rodents have ever-growing teeth and need to gnaw to keep them in check. This leads them to chew on electrical wires, wooden structures, and even concrete. They can squeeze through openings as small as a quarter, while mice can enter through dime-sized gaps. They’re adept climbers and can scale walls or travel through pipes. Most rodents are active at night, making it challenging to detect an infestation early. Tips for Effective Rodent Exclusion Sealing entry points using steel wool or metal mesh can block holes and gaps around windows, doors, and vents. Eliminating food sources by storing food in airtight containers and cleaning up spills immediately is essential. Addressing plumbing issues and eliminating standing water around your property can deter rodents. Maintaining landscaping by trimming tree branches away from your home and keeping shrubs well-maintained removes potential nesting areas. Understanding rodent behavior is the first step toward effective exclusion. By identifying what attracts them and how they move, you can better protect your home from these unwelcome intruders.
Recognizing the Signs of Rodent Entry Rats and mice are experts at finding ways into your home. You might notice small, pellet-like droppings near walls, in cabinets, or under sinks. Chew marks on wood, wires, or food packaging are common indicators, as are oily streaks along walls or entry points. Look for holes or gaps, especially those larger than a dime for mice or a quarter for rats. Key Areas to Inspect and Protect When searching for rodent entry points, focus on these areas: doors and windows with gaps, foundations and walls with cracks or holes, and roof and attic spaces where vents, chimneys, or rooflines may provide access. Don’t overlook the basement or crawl spaces, as unsealed openings near pipes or vents are common entryways. Sealing Entry Points Addressing these vulnerabilities is crucial. Use steel wool to pack small holes, which rodents cannot chew through, and secure it with caulk. Attach door sweeps to the bottoms of exterior doors, replace torn window or vent screens, and seal larger gaps with materials like caulk, concrete, or hardware cloth. Long-Term Rodent Prevention Store food in airtight containers to avoid attracting pests. Remove piles of debris, firewood, or other hiding places near your home. Keep bushes and trees trimmed back from the house to reduce access points. Why Professional Help Matters While sealing entry points is a vital step, professional pest control services ensure your home is fully protected. At Superior Spray, we conduct thorough inspections to find hidden vulnerabilities and apply effective solutions. We also offer ongoing monitoring and maintenance to keep your home rodent-free. Don’t let rodents compromise your comfort and safety. By identifying and sealing entry points, you can take a proactive stance against infestations.
