Precision Pest Control works both ends of Largo, from the older bungalows and duplexes near downtown and the Pinellas Trail to the newer subdivisions pushing out past East Bay Drive and Ulmerton Road. Property owners in both areas call for different reasons, and we treat them differently. A 1960s block near Largo Central Park and a house built in the last decade need separate approaches, not the same spray.


In Largo's older homes near downtown and along the Pinellas Trail, we see silverfish working through damp closets and stacks of paper, along with cockroaches drawn to humidity that older slab and crawl space construction never fully sheds. Squirrels get into attics through gaps that have opened up in decades old wood soffits. Out toward the newer subdivisions past East Bay Drive, the problems shift to mice and rats finding their way in through unsealed utility lines and garage door gaps in construction that is still settling, plus bed bugs and spiders that hitch rides through moving boxes in a part of town that turns over often.
The bungalows and duplex blocks near downtown Largo and along the Pinellas Trail were mostly built before central air was standard, which means wall cavities, attic vents, and foundation gaps that were never designed to be sealed tight. Decades of settling have opened new cracks around windows and plumbing penetrations year after year. We spend more time on inspection in these homes than on the truck, because the entry point changes house to house depending on additions, re-roofing, and how the original foundation has shifted. A treatment plan for a 1960s block off West Bay Drive looks nothing like one for a house built last year.
Newer construction on Largo's outer edges, the subdivisions built out past Ulmerton Road and toward the county line, has a different problem. Fresh sod, new irrigation lines, and landscaping that has not matured yet create moisture pockets right against the foundation, and builders often leave small gaps around utility penetrations that get sealed only after a pest shows up. HOA rules in these newer communities also limit where bait stations and exterior equipment can sit, so we plan placement around what the neighborhood allows rather than defaulting to the same setup we would use downtown.
