We are currently pretty pest free and want to stay that way.

Originally moving to Florida in 1983, I have never had the need for the services of a pest control company.
The few times I have had a problem, I handled it myself.
The issues I am speaking about are fleas one time (from my dog) and on occasion, ants (ant traps and Terro do work!).

You will always see a roach once in a while.
This is Florida, remember? They were here first!
One roach does not necessitate having an ongoing contract with a pest control company.
Villagers are obsessed with having some form of service when most of it is totally unnecessary.

If you have an issue, take care of it yourself instead of doing more damage to the environment on an ongoing basis.
