Looking at exterminators any suggestions
 
Im looking at having my property sprayed professionally or doing it myself. I see many pest control companies working in the villages. Does anyone have any recommendations on doing this yourself rather than hiring someone. I’m sure the quote of $250 for a courtyard villa they gave me is 80-90 % labor. We are currently pretty pest free and want to stay that way.

Heron's $89 (may have been a special, but you can ask.) They treat inside and out, and then come every other month to retreat outside. Inside is "on demand". See a live bug indoors, gave a call, they come within 24 hours.

In Inverness there is a store called "You Kill Em". With a very helpful staff. Talk to them and become a bug killin' machine. You can do better than the bug guys.

Is it $89 for the year or $89 for the month?

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.

I have a neighbor who does it himself but he is a master gardener.
Your property is not large and you are a frog, I recommen doing it yourself
if you know how to do it. Why drop money down every two or three months
If you don’t need to.

I agree.

Why drop money down every two or three months if you don't need to.

But even more than that, why poison the environment at all if it isn't necessary??!?
The OP already stated that they are pretty much pest free, so why do anything unless you truly have a problem?

We have a CYV also and been here 9 years. We spread a band of granular bug killer (Spectracide) around complete foundation quarterly and spray "Permethrin" around all windows, doors and eaves every quarter also and we have never had any bugs. 1 Bag of Spectracide cost about $20.00 and lasts a year and a bottle of Permethrin (mixed with water properly) cost about $35.00 and will last about 7 years. That brings total cost PER YEAR to $6.66 or .55 per month. Permethrin is the same product the bug companies use. Good Luck.

I've used them all....Deans is the best by far!

Here’s to you, Mrs Robinson. I agree with what you are saying. I personally know the poster of this thread and he is very handy. If he sees no bugs, why bother. Maybe give one treatment in eatly April. Why spend $250 or more a year.
