Ants, roaches and spiders handled, season after season

What's included

Each visit starts with a walk around the exterior. The technician treats the foundation line, entry points around doors and windows, eaves where spiders web up, and the mulch beds and leaf litter that ants and roaches use as cover. Inside, treatment focuses on kitchens, bathrooms, baseboards, garages and any spot where you have noticed activity. The first visit knocks down whatever is already living in the house, so it is often the heaviest; the recurring visits that follow are about holding the line at the perimeter so pests never settle back in. Every treatment is logged in your Residely dashboard with notes on what the technician found, so you can see the history of your home at a glance.

Why Tallahassee homes need it

Leon County sits in a humid subtropical pocket where winters rarely get cold enough to clear out insect populations. Argentine ants, big-headed ants, American and smoky brown roaches, wolf spiders and silverfish stay active most of the year, and the oak canopy and pine straw around many local homes give them endless places to nest. Heavy summer rain drives them indoors, and the dry weeks of late fall do the same when they go looking for moisture. Older homes in Midtown and Betton Hills have more gaps than newer construction out toward Killearn or Southwood, but both see pressure. A recurring exterior barrier is the most practical way to keep them from coming in at all.

What to expect

Pick a time window online and the first visit lands in your Residely dashboard. You do not need to be home for the exterior work, though the interior portion goes faster if someone can let the technician in. Expect a brief check-in about where you have seen activity and whether there are pets or small children to plan around. Most products used today are low-odor and dry quickly, so you will not need to leave the house. The visit is priced flat, shown before you book, and you pay after the work is done. The next quarterly visit is scheduled automatically, with a reminder sent before the technician arrives.

Questions about general pest control

How often does general pest control in Tallahassee need to happen?

Quarterly is the standard cadence for most Leon County homes because exterior treatments break down over roughly three months in our rain and heat. Homes under heavy tree cover, or on a wooded lot, sometimes do better on a bimonthly schedule, which you can change anytime in your dashboard.

Is the treatment safe for my dog and kids?

Technicians use products labeled for residential use and apply them to cracks, voids and the foundation line rather than broad open surfaces. Pets and children should stay off treated areas until they are dry, usually under an hour. Let the technician know about aquariums, reptiles or anyone with sensitivities before the visit.

Does this cover termites too?

No. General pest control targets ants, roaches, spiders and other crawling insects. Termites need a separate inspection and either a bond or a dedicated treatment, both of which Residely offers. If a technician spots signs of termite activity during a pest visit, they will note it in your dashboard so you can book an inspection.
