When something is moving in the walls or a roach scatters across the kitchen floor at night, the first question is not which company to call. It is whether the problem is already bigger than it looks. That worry is the right one to start with, because in South Florida's subtropical climate, a small sign of pest activity almost always means more is going on out of sight. Bonita Springs Pest Control Pros covers Fort Myers and the surrounding area with treatments built around what is actually happening at a property, not a standard package applied the same way to every address.
We handle pest control for homes, rental units, commercial properties, and businesses throughout Fort Myers and Lee County. Same-day appointments are often available, and we are reachable every day from 8:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Call (239) 299-7916 to get a quote and find out how soon we can get someone out.
Fort Myers is a city with a wide range of property types, and the pest pressure that comes with each one varies. Single-family homes deal with perimeter pressure from the outside. Apartment buildings and commercial kitchens deal with harborage conditions inside. The pests that push in from the region's warm, humid environment do not distinguish between them.
The pests below are the ones we see most often across Fort Myers properties. Each one calls for a different approach, and understanding what drives the infestation is part of what the inspection is for.
Both species are active in Lee County and both cause damage that is often well advanced before a property owner notices anything. Formosan termites build large, aggressive colonies that move through structural wood quickly. Formosan termites are not the only species active in South Florida, and each species presents its own challenges in terms of how it accesses a structure. Treatment starts with a thorough inspection of foundation areas, crawl spaces, and any wood-to-soil contact points. What is found during that inspection drives the treatment plan, and follow-up is scheduled to confirm the work is holding rather than assumed to be complete after a single visit.
Ghost ants are nearly translucent and easy to miss until a trail is well established. White-footed ants form large colonies that fragment and relocate when disturbed, which is why a surface spray often makes the situation worse before it gets better. Effective treatment uses targeted baiting that the colony carries back to the source, combined with perimeter application to reduce the pressure from outside. A recurring prevention plan is the most practical follow-up because both species will recolonize from surrounding areas if perimeter maintenance lapses.
The American cockroach is a fixture in South Florida, and Fort Myers is no exception. They are drawn to moisture around irrigation equipment, under sinks, in garages, and along the exterior foundation where organic material accumulates. Treatment covers interior harborage areas and the exterior perimeter, with attention to the conditions that attract them in the first place. Because pressure from outside is constant in this climate, a recurring plan is usually more effective than a single treatment at keeping activity from cycling back.
Roof rats are common in the region and tend to enter through gaps at roofline level, around utility penetrations, and through damaged soffit or fascia. Mice work lower, coming through foundation gaps and door sweeps that have worn down. Rodent control involves identifying how they are getting in, treating the active areas, and addressing the entry points so the problem does not return. Work carried out by licensed pest control technicians covers both the treatment and the follow-up inspection to confirm activity has stopped.
Wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets build in eaves, soffits, and landscape features around Fort Myers properties. A nest that is close to a door or a high-traffic area is a problem that needs to be handled before it escalates. Treatment depends on the species and the location of the nest, which is why the visit starts with an inspection before anything is applied.
Fort Myers has a significant rental market, and pest control in a rental situation involves a few more moving parts than a standard homeowner call. A property manager or landlord contacts us, we coordinate access with the tenant, and the visit is scheduled around the household's routine rather than requiring the unit to be vacated unnecessarily. The invoice goes to whoever is managing the account, and the technician communicates directly with whoever is present at the property on the day.
For landlords managing multiple units or commercial property managers overseeing a larger building, recurring service schedules are the most practical approach. Consistent, scheduled visits keep pest pressure from building between appointments and create a record of what was treated and when, which matters when a tenant raises a concern or a compliance question comes up. We treat your home the way we would want ours treated, and that standard applies to a rental unit the same as it does to an owner-occupied property.
the pest service rundown breaks the work down.
No matter what kind of pest is in your home, the treatment plan is only as good as the inspection that precedes it. A pest problem that keeps coming back is almost always one where the source was not identified the first time. The technician inspects the interior and exterior before any product goes down, looking at the areas where pests concentrate, the entry points they are using, and the conditions that are drawing them in.
The answer is usually somewhere nobody has looked. Moisture under a sink, a gap around a pipe chase, a section of damaged soffit, mulch pressed against the foundation. These are the details that change what a treatment needs to cover, and they are the reason an inspection is not a formality. It is the step that makes the rest of the visit worth doing.
Products are applied according to label directions, and the technician will walk you through any preparation needed beforehand and answer questions about specific products before work begins.
The price for a pest control visit in Fort Myers depends on the size of the property, the type of pest, how far the problem has progressed, and whether the situation calls for a single treatment or an ongoing schedule. A property with an active infestation that has spread across multiple areas of a home is a different job from a routine exterior barrier treatment on a property with no current activity inside.
When you call, you get the rate before anything is scheduled. We go through what the visit covers and what would change the quote if the inspection turns up something more involved than what was described on the call. If the inspection turns up something beyond what was described, that gets discussed with you before any additional work is scheduled. Call (239) 299-7916 and we will go through the details with you.
Same-day appointments are often available, and we are reachable every day from 8:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Urgent situations are handled the same day when scheduling allows. We confirm the appointment before the visit and let you know what to expect when the technician arrives.
For households and businesses that need to stay open during treatment, we schedule around those constraints. A restaurant that cannot close during a lunch service, a tenant who works days, a property manager coordinating access across multiple units. These are the scheduling situations we work through on the call so the visit goes smoothly when it happens.
Return visits between scheduled services are part of how a prevention plan works. If activity develops between appointments, we come back rather than leaving you to wait for the next scheduled date. Give us a call and we will get on it.
Not every call to a Fort Myers property is the same, and the kind of visit that makes sense depends on what is happening and how long it has been going on.
Fruit flies and drain flies in commercial or residential kitchens are a sign of an organic buildup in drains or a moisture source nearby, not just a nuisance. Silverfish in bathrooms and storage areas indicate humidity and a food source in paper or fabric. Clothes moths and carpet beetles in soft furnishings mean the infestation is already established in the material itself, not just moving through. Stink bugs entering through gaps around windows and utility penetrations are an exterior pressure problem that gets worse as temperatures shift. Each of these situations calls for a targeted treatment that addresses the source, not just the visible pest. A one-time treatment is the right fit when the problem is specific and contained, and follow-up is scheduled based on what the inspection finds.
For properties where pest pressure is consistent, which describes most Fort Myers homes and commercial buildings in this climate, recurring exterior barrier treatment keeps activity from building between visits. Crawl space and attic treatment is part of this picture for properties where those spaces are accessible and where conditions there drive interior pest pressure. The service page carries the full breakdown of what each plan covers and how visits are structured.
Rodent exclusion and the work that goes with it is a different kind of visit from a spray treatment. The goal is to identify how something is getting in and address the entry point so the problem does not return. This kind of visit is most useful after an active infestation has been treated and the follow-up inspection confirms where the access point is. Careful pest treatment on every job means the exclusion work is as thorough as the treatment that preceded it.
We cover Fort Myers and the surrounding communities throughout Lee County. If you are in Page Park, Tice, Pine Manor, Whiskey Creek, or Lochmoor Waterway Estates, you are in our service area. The same applies to the wider Lee County region.
Coverage is not a question of distance. If you are in the area, call and we will confirm your address is covered and get an appointment on the calendar.
It can. Dense clutter gives pests more harborage areas to shelter in, which makes it harder for a treatment to reach every active zone. Clearing out areas under sinks, behind appliances, and in storage spaces before the visit helps the technician treat more effectively.
Coverage extends beyond incorporated town boundaries into the surrounding areas we serve. The best way to confirm your address is to call (239) 299-7916 and we will check it directly.
The visit starts with an inspection of the property before any treatment is applied. The technician identifies active pests, entry points, and harborage conditions, then explains what the treatment will cover and what preparation is needed. Products are applied according to label directions, and any questions about specific products or what to do after the visit are answered before the technician leaves. Call today and we'll set your appointment.
For most interior treatments, access to the home is needed, so it helps to have someone present. If you cannot be there, we discuss access arrangements when you book. Appointment details are confirmed with you before the visit so you know exactly what to expect.
Crawl space and attic treatment depends on what the inspection finds and whether conditions in those spaces are driving pest pressure inside the home. If the technician identifies activity or harborage conditions there, treatment in those areas is part of addressing the source rather than just the visible pests. Reach out and we'll start with an inspection to determine what the property actually needs.
We work with restaurants, offices, rental buildings, and property management accounts throughout Fort Myers. Commercial visits are scheduled around your operating hours and access requirements, and recurring service plans include documentation of each visit for compliance and record-keeping purposes.

Call anyway. Describing what you are seeing, where it is showing up, and what the conditions are like around the property gives us enough to work with. The inspection is designed to identify what is present, and the technician arrives prepared to look for the most likely candidates based on what you describe on the call.
In many cases, yes. If you and nearby properties want service scheduled together, call and we will work out what is possible based on scheduling. Coordinating multiple addresses at once can make the process more straightforward for everyone involved.

Fort Myers pest pressure does not follow a season, and the right service plan depends on what you are dealing with and how often it comes back. The table below lays out every plan we offer, who it fits best, and what it covers so you can call with a clear picture of what you need. Every plan starts with an inspection, and we confirm the rate and schedule before anything is booked.
| Service Option | Best For | Treatment Schedule | Pests We Target | Helpful Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One-Time Treatment | Acute, specific pest problems with no ongoing pressure | Single visit with follow-up if activity continues |
| Best when you have a defined problem to resolve. If pressure persists after the visit, we schedule a return before recommending a plan. |
| Monthly | Properties with heavy, year-round pest pressure | Every month |
| Monthly visits maintain consistent perimeter pressure and catch new activity before it builds. A practical choice for properties surrounded by dense vegetation or near water. |
| Bi-Monthly | Homeowners who want steady protection without monthly scheduling | Every two months |
| Six visits per year keep the exterior barrier refreshed and give the technician a regular look at what is active. A common choice for Fort Myers homes in established neighborhoods. |
| Quarterly | Most Fort Myers residential properties | Every three months |
| Four visits per year align with the seasonal shifts that drive pest behavior in Lee County. Return visits between scheduled appointments are included when activity develops in between. |
| Seasonal (Spring and Fall) | Properties with predictable seasonal spikes | Two visits per year, timed to seasonal activity peaks |
| Targeted to the periods when stinging insects and fire ants are most active. Works well as a supplement to a quarterly plan or as a standalone for properties with specific seasonal concerns. |
| Rodent Control | Homes and businesses with active or suspected rodent activity | Initial treatment plus scheduled follow-up visits |
| Roof rats are common in Fort Myers and often enter through rooflines and attic spaces. Treatment focuses on active areas, entry points, and harborage zones, with follow-up to confirm activity is resolved. |
| Commercial / High-Traffic | Restaurants, offices, warehouses, and multi-unit properties | Customized schedule based on property type and access requirements |
| Service is scheduled around your operating hours. Work is carried out by licensed pest control technicians familiar with commercial treatment requirements in Lee County. |
