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.

Carl and Tracy are a wonderful team. Down to earth tell it like it is couple. Have rats in the attic and they sealed every entry point for me. Gave me pointers on what to do down the road not only with rats but a variety of bugs. And lawn weed killer. The kind of people you would invite to dinner.

This is one company that the 5 Star reviews got RIGHT! I have always been a little leary of reviews since they are sometimes driven by emotion rather than fact. In this case all the positive reviews are justified. Personable, Professional, Punctual, Honest and very informative are just a few words that describe Tracy and Carl. My first impressions are wow. You just don't get this kind of service these days! Highly recommended with a price befitting the service quality!

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.

I had their quarterly service for pest control, and they were absolutely amazing. It’s a family run business, and you can tell they truly care. They were always on time, super professional, and incredibly effective especially with cockroach control, which was my main concern. Very reliable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend them!

Our Services

Pest control services in Fort Myers

Residential work through the city, agricultural work out east. Both are core to what we do.

Termite

Termite control in Fort Myers

Older housing plus river and canal moisture is the combination termites want. Free inspection, barriers and baiting systems.

Rodent

Rodent control and exclusion in Fort Myers

Mature canopy along the older streets gives roof rats a route in. We remove them and seal every entry point behind them.
Cockroach

Cockroach control in Fort Myers

Palmetto bugs come in from mulch, palms and drain lines. Exterior treatment and exclusion rather than indoor spraying.

Ant

Ant control in Fort Myers

Ghost, sugar, fire and carpenter ants each need a different approach. We find the colony and kill it at the source.

Mosquito

Mosquito control in Fort Myers

River and canal water breeds continuously. We find what is producing them on your lot rather than fogging the whole yard.

Equine pest protection in Fort Myers

Barns, tack rooms and arenas. Fly control, misting installation and rodent exclusion built around horses.

Lawn Pest Control

Lawn and yard pest control in Fort Myers

Chinch bugs and grubs go after St. Augustine hard. Treated safely around waterways, pets and pollinators.

Barn and stable fly control in Fort Myers

Alva and Buckingham properties. Flies breed in wet manure and spoiled feed. We find the source, then treat and mist.
Local conditions

What drives pest pressure in Fort Myers

Fort Myers is really several places under one name, and what you need depends heavily on which one you are in.

01

Older housing and mature canopy along McGregor and Iona

The established neighbourhoods have decades-old housing under substantial tree cover, which is the classic combination for both roof rats and subterranean termites. Canopy touching a roofline gives rats a route that never touches the ground, and they enter at soffit gaps, vents, stack boots and fascia joints. Meanwhile the same decades of humidity and settlement open up the weep screeds and slab lines termites use. On a house of that age an annual termite inspection is worth it purely for catching problems in year one rather than year six.
02

Caloosahatchee waterfront moisture

Properties along the river and its canals hold damp against foundations year round, which is precisely the condition subterranean termites need to keep soil contact. Waterfront lots carry meaningfully more termite risk than interior ones, and the same water is permanent mosquito breeding habitat.
03

Horse and ranch country east through Alva and Buckingham

This is a completely different job. Barn and stable flies breeding in wet manure, bedding and spoiled feed. Fire ants in pasture. Rodents in feed storage, tack rooms and equipment sheds. It has almost nothing in common with a subdivision lot, and very few residential pest companies in Lee County are equipped for it.
04

New construction around Gateway

The newer development areas carry the new-build profile: disturbed soil, fresh sod, and fire ants and chinch bugs colonising early. Worth knowing that the termite pretreatment your builder arranged usually carries a short warranty, often a single year, and it does not renew itself. The treated soil is still there. The coverage may not be.
05

Post-Ian repairs

Fort Myers took heavy damage, and the roof and soffit work that followed left access open on a lot of properties. We still find active rodent entry on homes repaired years ago and signed off at the time. If you rebuilt and you are hearing something overhead, those two facts are usually related.
06

Seasonal timing

Nothing has an off-season. Rainy season pushes ants and roaches toward structures looking for dry ground. Dry season pushes rodents in looking for water. Fly pressure on the eastern properties runs with warmth and moisture. Quarterly service exists because that cycle never stops.
Why Choose Us

Why Fort Myers property owners choose Bug Off Pest

We are straight about the drive. Fort Myers is the furthest market we serve and we route it properly rather than promising same-hour service. Response is best on the eastern side, through Fort Myers Shores, Alva and Buckingham, and we will tell you honestly at the inspection what a realistic service interval looks like for your address.

What we bring that most companies here do not is the agricultural side.

Barn and stable fly control, equine programmes and pasture fire ant treatment are core work for us, not something we refer out. If you have horses or livestock, that is a very short list of providers in this county.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Myers pest control questions

Why do older homes along McGregor and Iona get termites?

Time and conditions. Decades of humidity and settlement open up the weep screeds, soffit lines and slab cracks that subterranean termites use to reach the structure, and river or canal proximity keeps the surrounding soil damp enough to support them. The age of the house is not the problem in itself, it is that the entry conditions have had fifty years or more to develop.

 Yes, and it is core work rather than something we occasionally take on. Barn and stable fly control, misting system installation, equine pest protection and pasture fire ant treatment. Products and methods are selected with animals, feed and water sources in mind.

It covered the build. The warranty attached to it is typically short, often a single year, and it does not renew on its own. Check your closing paperwork, and get an inspection either way. New sod and disturbed soil also draw fire ants and chinch bugs early, so the first two years matter more than people expect.

McGregor, Iona, Gateway, Fort Myers Shores, Alva and Buckingham. We serve the eastern side best because of the routing from Punta Gorda. Call with your address and we will tell you honestly whether we can serve you well rather than taking a booking we should not.

Fort Myers is the furthest market we cover, so we schedule it as routed work rather than emergency service. That is a genuine limitation and we would rather state it than have you find out on the day. Call with your address for a real answer.
