Pest control in Florida is not a spring event. Insects and wood-destroying insects work in warm, wet conditions that last most of the year. The useful first sentence is the creature and the place you saw it. A line of ants in the kitchen is not a termite job. Pellets in the attic are not a pantry job. Palmetto bugs in a bath drain are a moisture and entry conversation. Mosquitoes in the yard after rain are standing water. Say which one you have before anyone talks about a plan.
Termites deserve their own plain language. Subterranean termites come from the soil and show up in mud tubes, soft baseboard, or swarmers near a slab edge. Drywood termites live in the wood itself and leave piles of pellets, often from attic framing, window trim, or a fascia that stays dry. The treatments are not interchangeable. A general spray around the foundation does not answer a drywood infestation in the roof framing, and a spot treatment is not the same proposal as a whole-structure approach. Ask what was found, how it was found, and which insect the work is aimed at.
The rest of the list is ordinary and constant. American cockroaches, the ones people call palmetto bugs, love mulch against the wall, a damp crawl, and a bath trap that stays wet. Fire ants mound in the lawn and in the electrical box on the irrigation. Rodents use the attic when fruit and palms give them a highway to the soffit. Mosquitoes breed in a saucer, a clogged gutter, and the plants that hold water in their leaves. None of that is solved by pretending one visit handles every biology. Exclusion and drying the wet spot matter as much as whatever is applied.
Say how long you have seen it and whether the house is on a slab, a crawl, or piers. Say if you are on the water, where damp never really leaves, or inland, where the attic bakes and drywood evidence hides overhead. If you want a recurring visit, ask what each visit actually inspects and what happens if the pest shows up between visits. Ask what was looked at, not for a vague all-clear.
