Jobe Pest Services LLC covers Gulfport, about 70 min (47 mi) from our Wimauma base. Gulfport is an arts-district bayfront city of 1920s cottages on small lots with raised wood floors. The old construction and raised floors give roof rats and palmetto bugs easy entry, and the bay edge brings mosquitoes.
What Gulfport homes and businesses face
About 70 minutes from Wimauma.
Gulfport’s 1920s cottages sit on raised wood floors, and that crawl space is the heart of the pest picture here. The open or loosely skirted area underneath gives roof rats and palmetto bugs a sheltered run along joists and plumbing, out of sight until they find the breaks around pipes and worn floorboards that lead up into the living space. Nearly a hundred years of settling has left plenty of those gaps, so exclusion under and around the cottage matters as much as anything we treat inside.
The bay edge adds the other half. Boca Ciega Bay’s shoreline, seawall pockets and the damp, shaded yards of this arts-district neighborhood hold the quiet moisture that mosquitoes breed in, and the biting rises after sundown through the warm season. On small, close lots the pressure is shared, so we treat the cool planting beds and knock back the standing moisture we can get to. For the cottages themselves we keep after the crawl-space harborage that lets palmetto bugs and rats keep returning.
