Protect Mom’s Home With Prevention & Pest Control

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate everything Mom does—and if there’s one thing she shouldn’t have to worry about, it’s pests in the house. In Jacksonville, pests don’t wait for spring to wake up. The warmth sticks around, and so do the bugs. From roaches sneaking into the kitchen to mosquitoes buzzing up a storm in the backyard, pest pressure is a year-round problem.

This Mother’s Day, the whole family can step up to help keep the home pest-free—and when needed, bring in the professionals to ensure the job’s done right. Here's how everyone can pitch in to give Mom one less thing to stress about.

Ants in the Kitchen

In Jacksonville, ants are regular visitors, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. They sneak in through the tiniest gaps in search of moisture and snacks. Families can help by cleaning up spills quickly, storing food in sealed containers, and regularly wiping down counters and sinks. If ants keep popping up despite your best efforts, that’s a job for the pros. A pest control expert can track down where ants are coming from and apply safe, targeted treatments to send them packing.

Roaches That Just Won’t Quit

Unfortunately, cockroaches are a fact of life in much of Florida. They hide in dark, damp places like under sinks, behind appliances, and inside cabinets. The family can do their part by taking out the trash daily, reducing clutter, and not leaving pet food out overnight. However, roaches are resilient; a pest control specialist from Lindsey Pest Services can identify where roaches are nesting and help prevent future break-ins with long-term strategies.

Mosquitoes: The Buzz Killers

Jacksonville’s warmth and humidity make it a hotspot for mosquitoes. They breed in standing water, even small amounts in flower pots or clogged gutters. Kids can help by doing a quick backyard sweep to dump out water and keep things tidy. Still, professional mosquito control is the best way to enjoy your yard without being constantly bitten. Lindsey’s pest pros can regularly treat the yard to reduce the mosquito population dramatically so that Mom can enjoy her coffee on the porch.

Spiders Where They Don’t Belong

Spiders may help control other bugs, but they’re not exactly welcome guests—especially in closets, corners, and bathrooms. While the family can help by vacuuming webs and reducing clutter, regular pest control from the local pest pros at Lindsey helps cut down on the other insects that attract spiders in the first place. A technician can also apply treatments to key entry points so spiders stay outside, where they belong.

Termites You Never See Coming

Unlike other pests, termites often do their damage quietly. Jacksonville homes are especially vulnerable to these wood-destroying insects because of the moisture and mild temperatures. While families can keep wood piles away from the house and watch for mud tubes or bubbling paint, only a professional can accurately assess the risk. Lindsey’s annual termite inspections and effective termite treatments offer peace of mind—and protect Mom’s home from expensive damage.
