Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Pest Control for Beach Cottages, Condos and Rentals
Pest control for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea beach cottages, condos, canal homes and rental turnovers.
$50 OFF your first service + FREE inspectionNew customers · No code needed · No expirationPest control in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea has to fit a small, walkable beach town. Most of it is low-rise: older beach cottages and small walk-up apartment buildings near the ocean, condos along the beach and the Intracoastal, and canal homes on the west side of A1A, with the little gated village of Sea Ranch Lakes in the middle of town. Anglin's Fishing Pier at the end of Commercial Boulevard and the reef close to shore bring visitors all year, and many homes here are vacation rentals or seasonal places. That mix decides which pests show up and how we treat them. Pro-Spray is a family-run, Licensed & Insured company with 30+ years in business, and every job starts with a FREE inspection.
Pest control in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, building by building
| Building | What usually shows up | What we focus on |
|---|---|---|
| Older beach cottages and walk-ups | Palmetto bugs in bathrooms at night, ant trails on the counter, spiders in jalousie windows | Doors, window frames, weep holes, crawl spaces and the gaps where pipes enter; we tell you which repairs would help most |
| Oceanfront and Intracoastal condos | German roaches and ants moving through shared plumbing and trash chutes | Gel bait and growth regulator in kitchens and bathrooms, follow-up visits, and common areas if the association wants to talk |
| Canal homes west of A1A | Roof rats on seawalls, palms and boat lifts; mosquitoes in shady yards | Rooflines and entry points, plus the land side of the seawall |
| Vacation rentals and small motels | Roaches carried in with groceries and boxes, bed bugs in luggage | Kitchens and bathrooms between guest stays, and mattress seams and headboards when a guest reports bites |
Pest control for rentals, turnovers and seasonal homes
Every guest turnover is a chance for something new to arrive. Bed bugs travel in suitcases, German roaches in grocery bags and delivery boxes. We can treat between stays, and landlords can book turnover treatments when a unit is empty and every cabinet is easy to reach. See our vacation rental pest checklist and bed bug treatment.
Seasonal owners have a different problem. A unit that sits closed all summer has dry drain traps, which let palmetto bugs walk right up from the pipes. Book a visit before you leave and another before you come back. While you're away, we can get in through a lockbox, your property manager or your cleaning service.
Palmetto bugs, drains and the beach
The big brown American cockroach, the palmetto bug, lives in storm drains, sewer lines, palm trunks and mulch, and comes up through floor and tub drains or under doors, especially after heavy rain. Run water in every drain once a week and keep stoppers in overnight. We treat the exterior, the entry points and the indoor spots where they appear.
Fishing gear, the pier and the shops
A lot of residents fish, from the pier, a kayak or a boat on the canal. Coolers, bait buckets and tackle that go into the garage still smelling of fish draw house flies, palmetto bugs and ants fast. Rinse them right away, store them upside down to dry, keep bait in a sealed freezer, and bag fish scraps for an outdoor can with a tight lid.
The few blocks around the pier are packed with restaurants, cafés and small shops, and the dumpsters, grease traps and deliveries there feed roaches, flies and rodents that move into the cottages and condos nearby. Businesses can see our commercial pest control, usually twice a month for restaurants, with a written service report after every visit.
Mosquitoes and no-see-ums
Courtyards, potted plants, bromeliads and kayak hulls hold enough water to keep mosquitoes around even a block from the ocean. Our monthly mosquito service uses a backpack fogger on the shade where adults rest, like hedges, under decks and along fences. The backpack fogger is for outdoor work only. We never use it indoors. We apply larvicide to water that can't be dumped, we don't treat ponds with fish, and we never spray into or toward the canals or the ocean. Monthly plans add larval traps with a growth regulator, like birth control for insects.
If you're bitten at dusk on a balcony but never see what's biting, it's probably no-see-ums from the wet sand and muck along the coast and canals. Treating resting spots helps, but results are limited, so add a patio fan and fine-mesh screens. Our guarantee covers no-see-ums for plan customers. More in mosquito control.
Roof rats on the canals
Canal homes with docks, palms and fruit trees give roof rats food, water and a route to the roof. Look for scratching in the ceiling, droppings in the garage and gnawed fruit. We find how they get in and seal those entry points ourselves. Inside the home, we use traps and, only where the label allows, rodent bait placed out of reach of kids and pets. Then we come back for a set number of follow-up visits, which we tell you about up front. See rodent control.
Ants in sandy soil, and lovebugs on A1A
Sandy soil suits ants. White-footed ants build big colonies in palms and trail inside along wires, ghost ants turn up at sinks, and fire ants mound in sunny strips along walkways. We use baits the ants carry back to the colony and treat fire ant mounds around the home one by one.
Twice a year, usually late April into May and again late August into September, lovebugs drift across A1A. They don't bite or sting, and spraying a passing flight isn't practical. Wash cars and white walls promptly so the residue doesn't stain.
Salt air and small repairs
Salt corrodes screens and door thresholds, sun dries out caulk and weatherstripping, and storms loosen soffit panels and vent covers. During the inspection we look at those along with the pests and point out which small fixes would help most. We don't do the repairs ourselves, but a new door sweep often matters as much as a treatment.
