Whether you need residential pest control or commercial pest control, look no further than Champion Termite and Pest Control, Inc.!
Commercial Pest Control
Effective pest control for residential properties and successful commercial pest control both start with an initial inspection of your property to determine whether there is an existing infestation or conditions that can result in one. Our exterminators will customize a plan of action to eradicate all pests from the home or business while keeping the property safe. Once the pest removal treatments are performed, and the pests are removed from the property, we recommend scheduling preventative pest control services to help keep your property pest free — on an annual or seasonal basis. Should pest problems occur in between previously scheduled services, contact us for prompt service. Let us help you make pest problems a thing of the past; call us to schedule services for your property.

Most ants are fairly harmless, though a select few can be more than just an unsightly nuisance. Carpenter ants, left to their own devices, can quickly cause damage to a home’s foundation as they tunnel through wooden structures throughout a building. That’s why it’s important to know the signs of carpenter ants and how to identify them to get carpenter ant extermination as fast as possible.
Spiders
Just the thought of a spider crawling around in the middle of the night is enough to give most people the heebie-jeebies. But when it comes to brown recluse spiders, spider infestations can result in a serious medical emergency. A brown recluse bite can cause many medical issues in humans and can be fatal for pets. Additionally, if a human has a severe reaction to brown recluse toxin or has several bites, it can be deadly. Don’t take the chance!

Cockroaches
Cockroaches — this stomach-turning, disease-spreading, eons-old insect species are some of the most dreaded and, unfortunately, common household pests in the world. Worse yet, Florida’s hot and humid climate makes the Sunshine State a paradise for various cockroach species. Once a horde of cockroaches infests a commercial or residential property, they can be tricky to dispel without the assistance of a pest control professional. Accordingly, the minute you notice any cockroaches hanging around your home or business, reach out to Champion Termite and Pest Control, Inc. for effective and affordable pest control services from our experienced cockroach exterminators !
Silverfish
Silverfish are nocturnal insects which thrive in dark and humid spaces, such as garages, attics, sheds, kitchens, and bathrooms. These insects can cause considerable property damage due to their powerful appetites.
Bees
A beehive can be used to bring in bees. Pollinators are obviously helpful for growing flowering plants. They can help pollinate many fruits as well as wildflowers. Introducing worms into your soil can help combat grubs. Grubs are known to attack roots, but earthworms are essential for lawn and garden growth.
Wasps
Wasps commonly build nests along exterior walls, under wooden decks, or in nearby trees, and even inside properties. Active nests that cause a nuisance can be easily removed by a pest control professional.
Ticks
Ticks are parasites that consume blood to satisfy each of their nutritional requirements. Florida’s deer ticks, American dog ticks, brown dog ticks, and lone star ticks often carry a number of different diseases, such as Lyme disease.
Crickets
More than just a source of annoying chirping, crickets can be a destructive nuisance, causing issues inside and outside of the home. If left unchecked, these pests can breed quickly, and if you’ve heard the telltale noise in your home or are noticing unexplained dead patches in your grass, you may already have a cricket infestation. The sooner you schedule cricket extermination, the better. Contact Champion Termite and Pest Control, Inc. today and save some money with our pest control coupons !
Earwigs
Despite their names and the myths surrounding them, earwigs don’t crawl into your ears or hair. In fact, they try to avoid people as much as possible. Instead, an earwig infestation usually takes place outdoors, wreaking havoc in your gardens and plant beds. However, they may also enter homes and begin to spread the infestation indoors. If you’ve seen these little bugs with their menacing pincers, it may be only a matter of time before there are more of them. Because they can cause extensive damage to plants, create foul smells, and be unsightly in your home, it’s important to contact our pest control company sooner rather than later.

Mosquitoes
Florida residents know the struggle of stepping outside and being swarmed by blood-sucking mosquitoes, which are prevalent throughout the state. But, many Florida residents fail to recognize the rest of Florida’s diverse population of insects that lurk but indoors and out. Without adequate prevention from our Starke pest control company, some pesky insects can wreak havoc on both residential and commercial properties! When it comes to pest control in Starke, FL, and the greater Northeast Florida region, experience can make all the difference in ensuring your property is pest-free!
Flies
You won't always know when a family of termites has moved in. While cockroaches and flies like to make their presence known, termites stay hidden within your walls or under your floorboards. A seasonal visit from a pest control expert prevents serious damage. Bedbug pest control, for instance, can detect a small number of bugs and act fast, before a full infestation kicks off. It's the same with termites. Internal termite activity has a solution, like termite baiting, the process of drawing out termites before they can cause structural damage. If an infestation is detected, pest control companies will act fast to eliminate the entire colony.
Centipedes
Beetles
Scorpions
Florida is home to three species of scorpions, two of which can be found in Florida — the Florida bank scorpion and the hentz striped scorpion. These arachnids are not considered deadly, but scorpion stings can be painful.
Hornets
Bald-faced hornets, European hornets, and yellow jackets are the three most common types of hornets. This insect is part of a large colony, which, if disturbed by a human, may trigger a swarm attack.
Yellow Jackets
Moths
Stinging Insects
Areas such as Palatka, St. Augustine, Jacksonville, Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, Orange Park, and Starke feature warm, moist air, as well as extensive greenspaces and natural bodies of water. Each of these factors makes for the ideal living and breeding environment for a wide range of pests and resulting pest damage. Pests can pose a variety of threats to your family and property, including food-borne illnesses, such as E. coli and salmonella, which are both transmitted by cockroaches to food items; bug bite infections from stinging insects, fire ants, and bed bug infestations; and disease-causing viruses, such as Zika and West Nile virus, due to mosquitoes. Properties infested with pests are susceptible to severe damage and decay due to termites and rodents — Florida is home to Formosan termites, subterranean termites, and drywood termites as well as multiple different types of rodent species.
Mites
Mites can do multiple types of damage — some mites feed on stored grain and cheese products while others bite humans. Dust mites are among the most common household allergens that trigger respiratory issues.
Aphids
While your feathered friends can definitely be a great addition, you also have the option to make your yard more accommodating to beneficial insects. Ladybugs are attracted to pollen and flower nectar. They also eat aphids, which typically destroy leaves. Some people have a phobia of spiders, but they're an amazingly effective option for your pest-fighting arsenal. Most garden-friendly spiders aren't poisonous so you can avoid that worry if you're selective about the species.
Palmetto Bugs
The palmetto bug, or American cockroach, is the largest type of cockroach to infest Florida properties. Palmetto bugs have red- or brown-colored wings and the ability to fly. They are often found in moist, warm areas.
Similar to their namesake, mole crickets spend most of their lives underground, where they create extensive tunnel systems. Because they tunnel near the soil’s surface, their activities often sever the root systems of plants and grasses. They also rely on these roots and shoots of grass as a food source, causing the grass to die and creating dead, brown patches. Furthermore, mole cricket’s natural predators — raccoons, armadillos, and birds — can wreak havoc on your landscaping as they hunt for their next meals. Mole crickets are active year-round but cause most of their damage from March to June and late August to early October when it’s warm, and they are reaching adulthood. Mole crickets are nocturnal, so you likely won’t see or hear them during the day.
The greater Northeast Florida area plays host to a plethora of insects, arachnids, rodents, and other creepy-crawling pests that homeowners won’t want anywhere near their property. Below, we’ve listed the most common pests property owners might encounter in Jacksonville.
