Pest control in Punta Gorda, built on free inspections

Florida pests don’t take a season off, so neither do we. Bug Off Pest handles termites, roaches, ants, rodents and mosquitoes for homes and businesses across Punta Gorda and four Southwest Florida counties. Every job starts with a free inspection and a price you approve before we treat anything.

About Us

Local pest control, run by people who live here

Bug Off Pest is family-owned and headquartered in Punta Gorda. Carl and Tracy started the company in 2019 and we still live in the area we serve, which means when a storm pushes rodent and mosquito activity through the roof, we’re dealing with it at our own house too.

Every technician is licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and carries photo identification. The company holds full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. That protects you, and it protects the people doing the work.

When you call, you reach the team that does the work. Not a national call center.

Our Services

Pest control services for Punta Gorda homes and businesses

Punta Gorda has a pest profile shaped by water, age and weather. Canal-front homes in Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles carry constant moisture pressure. Historic district homes need careful termite protection. Properties rebuilt after Hurricane Ian still show storm-related pest patterns years later. Every job starts with a free inspection, so we know exactly what we’re treating before we quote it.

Termite

Termite Control

Subterranean and drywood termites do more damage to Florida homes than fire. We inspect free, then treat with liquid barriers or baiting systems depending on what we find. Historic-district homes and post-storm rebuilds both carry elevated risk.

Rodent

Rodent Control & Exclusion

Roof rats are the dominant rodent here, and they travel the mature tree canopy between waterfront homes. We don’t just trap. We remove them, then seal every entry point so they can’t get back into your attic or walls.

Cockroach

Cockroach Control

Palmetto bugs come in from outdoor humidity. German cockroaches breed in your kitchen. Two completely different problems that need two different treatments, and treating the wrong one wastes your money.
Ant

Ant Control

Ghost ants, sugar ants, fire ants and carpenter ants each need a different approach. We find the colony and eliminate it at the source instead of wiping the trail and waiting for them to come back.
Mosquito

Mosquito Misting Systems

Automated misting for lanais, pool decks and patios, programmed for dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are worst. Canal-front and waterfront properties deal with pressure all year, not just in summer.
Bed Bug

Bed Bug Treatment

Discreet treatment for homes, condos and vacation rentals. Unmarked vehicles available on request. Follow-up visits confirm the infestation is actually gone before we close the job.

Lawn & Yard Pest Control

Chinch bugs, mole crickets and grubs tear through St. Augustine grass in the warm months. We treat what’s damaging your yard while keeping applications safe around canals, pets and family.

Bee

Honey Bee Removal & Relocation

We never exterminate honey bees. We remove the colony alive, relocate it somewhere it can thrive, and repair any structural damage the hive caused inside your walls or soffits.

Flea-Control

Flea & Tick Control

The fleas on your pet are about five percent of the problem. The rest are eggs and larvae in the carpet, the pet bedding and the shaded parts of your yard. We treat both, timed so the next generation doesn’t hatch behind us.

Our Process

How our pest prevention program works

Four steps, no surprises.

01

Free Inspection

A licensed technician walks your property inside and out. We identify the species, locate the harborages, and find what’s attracting them, whether that’s canal-front moisture, historic-home entry points or a mature tree canopy against the roofline. Takes 20 to 30 minutes.

02

Your Treatment Plan

We show you what we found, explain what it takes to solve it, and quote the price up front. No upselling services you don’t need.
03

Targeted Treatment

Professional products chosen for Florida’s climate and your specific pest. Applied correctly, they’re safe around children and pets.

04

Ongoing Protection

Most infestations need follow-up to stay solved. We schedule recurring visits and return free if pests show up between them.

Absolutely the nicest, most understanding, and friendly people you'll ever meet. I was (unashamedly) terrified of a wolf spider that was in my kitchen. They made time for me and took care of it the same day. I am so grateful! The cost is very affordable and I made the right choice by contacting Bug Off. I happily and confidently recommend them to anyone.

A wonderful family business I would like to recommend to everyone who is bugged by bugs. We had serious rodent issues on our farm, the rats were a serious threat to our chicks and they were not afraid of anything. After installing the traps, within two days I managed to fill an entire box with them and we didn't have to worry about them anymore. Carl also took care of our Termite Treatment, and was very professional about it, punctual and precise. Customer service is excellent, responsive and kind.
