POLK COUNTY PODCAST — LAKE WALES Winter Pests & Termite Awareness + The Pest & Termite 360 Package
Hi everyone, and welcome back to Bug Talk. I’m your host, Ryan Haynes with Haynes Pest Control — proudly serving homeowners here in Lake Wales, Frostproof, Babson Park, and across Polk County.
As we move through the cooler months here in Central Florida, a lot of homeowners in Lake Wales start to notice something interesting — even though the temperatures drop a little this time of year, pest activity doesn’t really stop. It just changes where it happens.
During winter, pests like roaches, rodents, spiders, and occasional invaders tend to move inside the home where it’s warmer and more comfortable. We see this a lot in attic spaces, garages, storage areas, and along baseboards. And many times, homeowners don’t realize pests are there until they start hearing noises in the attic or they find droppings or activity around kitchens and laundry rooms.
At the same time, this season is also an important time to stay aware of termite conditions — especially here in Polk County, where we have older homes, sandy soil, and moisture pockets that create the perfect environment for termite activity. Termites don’t always show obvious warning signs right away, and by the time damage is visible, it can already be costly.
That’s one of the reasons we created what we call The Pest & Termite 360 Package. Instead of treating pests only when there’s a problem — and then treating termites as a completely separate issue — the 360 Package brings everything together into one proactive protection program for your home.
With the 360 Package, we look at the whole property — inside and out. We focus on prevention, monitoring, inspections, and long-term protection, not just quick reaction treatments. It helps protect your home from everyday pest pressure while also keeping you covered against potential termite threats throughout the year. It’s designed to give homeowners peace of mind instead of guessing or waiting for damage to show up.
So if you live here in Lake Wales, Frostproof, or Babson Park, and you’ve noticed winter pest activity, noises in the attic, droppings, or you just want a smarter, more complete way to protect your home, our Pest & Termite 360 Package may be the right fit for you.
Thanks for listening today — we appreciate you being part of our community here in Polk County. And as always… if it crawls or flies, we’re your guys.
