For what it's worth, we have Florida Pest Control since November 2020. We bought the house in October and put up with snails, roaches, ants and assorted reptiles for the first few weeks, not only in the lanai but garage and kitchen as well. Squirrels using our roof for a racetrack. In the month after Massey's first visit the visitors decreased drastically; a few dead and dying roaches in the garage, ants just about gone, etc. Beginning the month after that--nothing. No bugs of any kind. We still get about a lizard a month in the lanai (probably get in from the sidewalk as you can't treat a sidewalk) but they're harmless and usually leave after they find out there are no bugs to eat (if the cat doesn't get them first).
Florida Pest Control is pretty spendy but well worth it. They say what they say they're going to do and back it up. Example: I was out mowing the lawn one day in July and gradually discovered that I was not alone; there were several wasps hanging around. I called Florida Pest Control and a tech was out within two hours, located the nest in the hedge and took care of it, then checked all the other bushes in my yard for more. This is ordinarily (as I recall) a $100 service call, still well worth it but because I have a full-service contract with Florida Pest Control, it was free.
Great tech, too. She's a lifetime Floridian and as I'm a transplant from the Minnesota tundra I took the opportunity to engage her in conversation. We chatted for maybe 20 minutes and I learned a lot in that 20 minutes about various Florida flora and fauna.
