Yes, we always use kid- and pet-friendly treatments and will prioritize your family’s well-being through every stage of the pest control process. Our licensed Field Experts use only EPA-registered products and are trained to follow label instructions to the letter. We advise keeping children and pets away from treated areas until they are completely dry. This typically takes around 30 minutes for outdoor treatments, and 1 – 3 hours indoors. If you keep pets in aquariums, terrariums, or bird cages, we may suggest additional precautions.

In West Palm Beach, common pests include ants such as fire, carpenter, and ghost ants, along with American or “palmetto” roaches, spiders like black widows and brown recluses, mosquitoes, silverfish, and pantry pests such as beetles and fruit flies. The area’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for these insects, giving them ample moisture, shelter, and food sources to multiply quickly. Professional pest control helps protect your home from these ongoing pest challenges.

While store-bought sprays and traps can typically handle visible pests, they often miss the hidden sources, like nests and entry points inside walls and under floors. This can lead to recurring problems despite repeated treatments. 

Professional pest control takes a more thorough approach by identifying the root causes and adjusting strategies to the specific conditions in your home. Even small infestations can escalate over time, which is why many homeowners choose professional services to eliminate current pests and help prevent future issues.

Yes, we provide ongoing mosquito control services to our neighbors in West Palm Beach. We offer monthly fogging treatments to cut down active swarms, as well as In2Care Stations, which are non-obtrusive traps that target mosquitoes at their source by disrupting their breeding cycles. Our Field Experts will service your In2Care Stations every 21 to 30 days so you can enjoy your yard throughout the year.

Yes, scorpions are a concern in South Florida, with species like the Florida bark scorpion and the Hentz striped scorpion occasionally making their way into homes. Scorpions are nocturnal, hiding in dark, cool areas during the day, and can deliver painful stings if disturbed. Our scorpion control services target their hiding spots and help keep them from becoming a problem around your home.

The subtropical climate of South Florida keeps pests active almost constantly. Because insects are cold-blooded, they thrive in the region’s steady warmth, which fuels their activity and reproduction. High humidity adds another layer of support, creating ideal breeding sites for mosquitoes and attracting moisture-loving pests like roaches and silverfish. With conditions that favor pests throughout the year, professional pest control plays an important role in reducing their activity and helping protect South Florida homes.

Even in South Florida’s hot climate, seasonal shifts still influence pest behavior. Spring rains can flood ant colonies and wash away outdoor food, driving ants indoors in search of shelter and nourishment. Summer’s heat and humidity boost mosquito breeding, while roaches and silverfish thrive in warm, damp environments. In fall, rodents may come inside homes seeking cooler, protected spaces. During South Florida’s mild winters, many pests remain active instead of going dormant, which is why year-round pest control is so important for homeowners.

Seeing more pest activity is common after the first service and shows that the products are working as intended. The initial treatment disturbs pests’ usual hiding spots and routines, which brings them out into the open. After your one-month follow-up service, you should notice a significant decrease in activity as we disrupt breeding lifecycles. If pests return between scheduled visits, Moxie has you covered: customers on our year-round plan receive complimentary reservice visits to address recurring issues.
