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.

Tampa’s warm, humid climate and frequent rainfall create ideal conditions for a wide variety of pests. Standing water in yards, pools, and storm drains provides breeding sites for mosquitoes, while the area’s lush landscaping and dense vegetation offer shelter for ants, spiders, and cockroaches. Termites are drawn to wooden structures and mulch, and rodents thrive wherever food and water are available. 

Tampa’s climate gives pests plenty of opportunities to thrive, which is why ongoing professional pest control is necessary to prevent small problems from becoming major ones.

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.

Absolutely. Mosquitoes are a constant challenge in the Tampa area, where warm weather and frequent rain make them a year-round concern. Our mosquito control services include monthly fogging treatments that cut down active swarms. We also use In2Care Stations, which are discreet devices placed in your yard that target mosquitoes in their larval stages. Together, these methods reduce mosquito populations at multiple points in their life cycle. Our Field Experts return every 21 to 30 days to service the stations, helping keep your outdoor spaces more comfortable all season long.

Yes, we can help with cockroach problems in Tampa. Our team is experienced in treating the most common local species, including German, American, and Oriental cockroaches. We start with a thorough inspection to identify hiding spots, then apply professional treatments that impact both visible roaches and those concealed in hard-to-find areas. With expert knowledge and effective products, we help homeowners manage cockroach activity and reduce future problems throughout their homes.

West Florida’s subtropical climate creates conditions that allow pests to stay active year-round. High humidity and frequent rainfall leave behind damp soil, mulch, and wood that attract pests such as termites and ants. Standing water after frequent storms provides breeding sites for mosquitoes, while the region’s heat and moisture also support large populations of cockroaches and other insects. Because these conditions are constant in the Tampa area, homeowners often experience ongoing pest pressure regardless of the season.

Yes, seasonal changes influence pest behavior in Tampa. In spring and summer, warmer temperatures and increased rainfall stimulate mosquitoes, ants, and other moisture-loving insects to breed and forage. Hot, humid summers can push spiders, roaches, and rodents into shaded areas or indoors for a cooler environment. The drop in temperatures during winter months may cause some pests to move inside seeking warmth. 

With each season bringing different challenges, ongoing professional pest control services help keep your home protected no matter the time of year.

Seeing more pests after the first treatment is evidence that the treatment is working, as the pests have had their normal routines disrupted. After your one-month follow-up treatment, you should notice a marked decline in pest activity. If your pest problem reemerges between our scheduled visits, Moxie has you covered. We offer free warranty reservice visits to all customers on our year-round plans.
