WHY ST. PETERSBURG HOMES ARE AT RISK
Living near the Gulf or the Bay means our wood stays damp and warm. That is a dinner invitation for a termite colony. Many neighbors in places like Old Northeast or Shore Acres live in beautiful, older wood-frame houses.
To a termite, those historic homes look like a giant snack. Termite control is about more than just killing the bugs you see today.
It is about stopping the ones hiding deep inside your walls where you can’t see them.
McDonald Pest Control knows that no two houses in St. Pete are the same. A brick home on a concrete slab has different needs than a stilt house sitting near the water.
Our staff is well-trained in inspecting before treating. We don’t believe in just guessing. We identify the specific pest and exactly how they are getting in. Then, we build a plan just for you to get them out.
LOCAL TERMITE TREATMENT THAT ACTUALLY WORKS
When you spend money on termite treatment, you want it to last. In St. Petersburg, we usually deal with two main troublemakers. Subterranean termites come up from the dirt. They build tiny mud tubes to climb up to your floorboards.
Drywood termites fly in and set up shop in your attic or rafters.
McDonald Pest Control has years of experience telling these two apart. We look for the “frass” pellets or piles of wings that drywood termites leave behind. We also check your foundation for those hidden mud tubes. By finding the source, our termite extermination plans work better.
We don’t just put a band-aid on the problem. We target the colony where it lives, so it doesn’t come back.

HOW WE HANDLE DIFFERENT PESTS
Termites are a huge threat, but they aren’t the only guests that overstay their welcome. Our team provides termite pest control services along with help for ants, rodents, and bed bugs. For bed bugs, we rely on heat treatments instead of using a lot of products. We bring that same level of care to our termite work.
We look at the big picture. We check for damp spots that might be calling termites to your home. We look for tiny cracks in your foundation or gaps near your roof. Stopping the next colony is just as important as getting rid of the current one.

FAQs
Keep an eye out for small piles that look like sand or coffee grounds near your baseboards. Those are usually drywood termite droppings. You might also find see-through wings on your windowsills. If you tap on a piece of wood and it sounds hollow, it is time to give us a call.
Subterranean termites usually swarm in the spring, especially after a good rain. Drywood termites like the late spring or summer. But since it stays warm in Florida almost all year, you might see them at any time.
Yes, we highly recommend it. Termites are quiet workers. They can do a lot of damage before you ever see a single bug. A quick check once a year catches things early and can save you a fortune in wood repairs later on.
Not always. It depends on what kind of termites you have and how bad they are. Some treatments are very localized, and you can stay right where you are. We will always walk you through the plan so you know exactly what to expect.
We focus on getting pests like termites, ants, and rodents out of your living space. We do not offer lawn care or attic cleanup. Focusing on the house itself allows us to be true experts at protecting your home from the inside out.
