Hughes Exterminators

Residential Pest Control
Residential pest control is often needed year-round from Tampa down to Naples due to the areaâ€™s hot, muggy climate. Many common household pests in the area like cockroaches, mosquitoes, ants and mice are much more than a nuisanceâ€”they can pose serious health risks to you and your family.
Commercial Pest Control
Hughes Exterminators' commercial pest control services are a part of our STEPS Total Protection System and backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Our industry-leading expertise in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and advanced technologies provide the most effective and environmentally responsible pest and termite protection for your business. IPM is a straightforward three-step process...

Insects and Spiders

Ants
The experts at Hughes Exterminators have well over a century of experience in dealing with all types of pest, termite, mosquito and ant control issues. We would love to use our experience to answer your questions.
Spiders
Termites
You may not always notice them â€” and they may not look all that scary â€” but termites are truly terrifying. Learn More
Bed Bugs
The resurgence of bed bugs in recent years has brought renewed relevance to the old saying, "Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite." 2010 saw the bed bug problem hitting southwest Florida mattresses, and the problem has grown since then. Almost unheard of after World War II, the ban on DDT and the increase in international travel are largely blamed for their reemergence, and while beds may be ground zero for these pesky bugs, they can be found almost anywhere, including hospitals, airplanes, movie theaters and even department stores.
Fleas
Fleas will feed on the blood of any warm-blooded body and typically leave behind itchy, unsightly marks and can cause severe allergic reactions as well. If you suspect a flea infestation in your home, it is important to contact a licensed pest professional, like Hughes Exterminators, immediately to rid your home of fleas and help prevent future occurrences.
Cockroaches
Although itâ€™s summer, you might feel a chill on the back of your neck when you see a roach crawling across your floorboards. With summer being peak cockroach season, it might feel impossible to... Read More
Bees
Hughes wasp and bee removal is a part of our STEPS Total Protection System and another way we go Beyond the Call to protect the health and property of southwest Florida residents, from Tampa to Naples.
Wasps
Several pests are included in this category. The most well known are bees, wasps and hornets. Some species of ants, such as fire ants, are included in this category as well.
Ticks
Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Tularemia are just a few of the diseases ticks can transmit to humans. If you are experiencing a problem with ticks in or around your home, the experienced professionals at Hughes will design a custom program to fit your individual needs and help protect your family and pets.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes can become such a problem that they actually keep residents of southwest Florida, from Tampa and Sarasota down to Naples, from enjoying their yard during some of the nicest times of the year. Additionally, mosquitoes pose a significant health threat due to diseases they can carry like West Nile Virus and Encephalitis, which can be transmitted to your family and pets through a single bite. Thatâ€™s what makes front and backyard mosquito control so important!
Flies
Many Florida lawns, gardens, shrubs and trees are threatened each year by pests such as chinch bugs, grubs, aphids, mites and more. The warm climate makes most of these pests a threat year round causing extensive damage and even killing plants in severe cases. Aphids and white flies feed on tender plant parts and have the ability to transmit viruses. Chinch bugs cause serious damage to turf grass causing it to turn yellow and die. Grubs also attack lawns eating roots, shoots and blades of grass and mites affect ornamental plants by sucking the juice out of delicate foliage.
Beetles
If the seller of a home has a "Termite Guarantee," you might think that is enough reassurance to forego an inspection. But, in fact, other threats still remain. Hughes' inspection will identify conditions conducive to infestation, as well as other wood destroying insects such as powder post beetles, wood borers, wood decay fungus and drywood termites, which are not covered under such guarantees.* There's really only one way to be absolutely sure. In many states across the U.S., a wood destroying insect/organism report is required for the transfer of property.
Hornets
Stinging insects like yellow jackets, wasps, hornets and more send more than 500,000 people to the emergency room each year. These pests are aggressive in nature and often sting as a way to protect their colonies or larvae from people attempting to remedy an infestation on their own. This aggressiveness combined with their social nature often means that these pests attack in large numbers, stinging a victim repeatedly. This adds potential for greater skin irritation or a serious allergic reaction. A Hughes Exterminators wasp removal and control expert can provide the level of expertise needed for complete hornet, wasp, bee and yellow jacket removal.
Yellow Jackets
Many types of stinging insects, such as yellow jackets, are social insects. They will sting to protect themselves and members of their colony. The insects give off pheromones, which cause other members of the colony to react as well. The chaotic reaction is too dangerous for a homeowner to address alone.
Stinging Insects
Homeowners can take a clue from the professionals and practice integrated pest management to avoid stinging insects and other types of pests. Again, it is important to consult an Arrow pest management professional to address an infestation correctly.
Mites
Stopping at almost nothing to gain entry, squirrels can do considerable damage to the exterior trim and siding of a home as they widen a current hole or make a new hole. Once inside, they will gnaw on just about anything, including electrical wiring, which can cause a short or a fire. Squirrels can also carry fleas, ticks and mites that may infest your southwest Florida home after their host gains entry.
Aphids
Boxelder Bugs

Bats
Many types of wildlife, including bats, opossums and snakes, can seek food and shelter inside your southwest Florida home. While their presence is certainly unsettling, it can also present a danger to the health of your family and home.
Moles
Hughes Exterminators critter control and wildlife removal experts in Tampa, Sarasota, Naples and Port Charlotte are specially trained and equipped to handle almost any urban and suburban wildlife control situations. As part of the STEPSÂ® Total Protection Systemâ„¢, our critter removal services include mouse control, rat extermination and squirrel control as well as home protection from other invaders like raccoons, opossums, snakes, bats, skunks, moles, chipmunks and more.
Raccoons
There are a number of pest-proofing measures that homeowners can take to protect their home and families from the threats posed by raccoons. Hughes's raccoon control specialists recommend the following...
Snakes
Snakes become more active in the summer months, and while most snakes are harmless and even beneficial to southwest Florida residents, finding them in your home or on your property can cause concern. Our snake control professionals have the training and experience to determine whether the snakes in and around your home are venomous, and they have the snake removal skills necessary for any situation. Should the problem you encounter be inside your home, Hughes Exterminators will also determine how they are gaining entry and seal up any access points to prevent them from getting in again.
Wildlife
At Hughes Exterminators, we seek to build long-term partnerships with our business customers by providing superior pest, termite and wildlife control solutions. We have customers in virtually every industry imaginable, including food service, hospitality, food processing, warehousing, manufacturing, retail, office buildings, healthcare and more.
Opossums
Opossums are the only North American marsupial (females have a pouch on their belly wherein they carry and feed their young). These nocturnal mammals can reach 24 inches long and weigh 10 pounds. They are excellent climbers and a threat to homeowners if they take up residence in your attic. They leave behind large droppings that carry various parasites and diseases and are also known to steal garbage and pet food and harass pets. Hughes opossum removal professionals have the experience to keep your home and family protected from these menaces from Tampa to Naples.

Birds
Our highly trained bird control specialists have the skill and expert equipment to protect your family and home from these pests. Our bird protection and pigeon control services include a comprehensive inspection to discover how the birds are getting in and what control steps may be necessary; a detailed proposal of our recommended solution and full-service implementation to rid your home of these pests and take the steps needed to keep them out. Plus, we protect your home against other wildlife pests including rodents, raccoons, snakes, bats and more. We also offer total bird removal, disinfection and reinstallation of damaged insulation.
Pigeons
Pigeons and other birds can be dangerous pests for southwest Florida residents. They require trained bird pest control experts for a number of reasons: they carry many other pests like fleas, ticks and mites; they are known to carry and transmit several diseases; and they can contaminate food. If these pests have gained entry into your home, you need the services of a licensed Hughes Exterminators of Tampa, Naples, Sarasota and Port Charlotte bird or pigeon removal and exclusion professional.

Rodents
If you see any signs of pests or rodents living in or around your business, itâ€™s critical that you take immediate action to stop any potential infestation or damage to your business. Your professional Alabama pest and rodent control exterminator from Hughes will provide an in-depth examination to effectively control pests. Let us be your pest control company of choice.
Mice
Rats
Rodents like mice, rats and squirrels may look furry and cute, but they are not welcome guests in a home. Always in search of food and shelter, these pests can do some real damage to a home and also transmit diseases. Additionally, rodents reproduce very quickly, and one or two can turn into a full-blown infestation in a matter of weeks. Signs that they may have settled in include unusual noises in the attic or walls and/or droppings found in the pantry, along the baseboards or in the attic. If you suspect rodents have taken up residence in your southwest Florida home, call a Hughes Exterminators rodent control professional to get them out and keep them out.
Squirrels
Squirrels typically enter homes in the Tampa Bay, Sarasota and Naples areas in the late fall as the evening temperatures cool, looking for a place to nest. Grey and flying squirrels can be found in attics, exterior walls and even between floors, using insulation as nesting material. Squirrels have a very playful nature and wake early, which usually tips off homeowners to their presence as they scratch and scurry around the attic at dawn. This can make squirrel removal necessary just to get some sleep.
Chipmunks
We offer additional wildlife control services, including skunk removal, chipmunk removal, soiled insulation removal, installation of new insulation and repair to any damaged areas. Many homeowners may not be aware, but these additional services are typically covered by homeowners insurance.
