We recently engaged this team for our pest control needs. Adam provided an extensive overview of his services and quoted a vastly more competitive rate. After two service calls we're not only impressed by Adam's expertise but the level of service is absolutely astonishing (we're from New York and that's not easily done). They deserve 10 stars and should be everyone's choice for pest care.

Don’t Wait for Damage — Find Termites Before They Find Your Wallet
Parrish Pest Control provides termite inspections for local properties. Our inspectors know the construction methods used in this area, where termites find entry, and which neighborhoods carry the highest risk. Fast scheduling, detailed reports.
A professional termite inspection goes beyond tapping walls. Parrish Pest Control checks moisture readings, inspects bath traps and plumbing penetrations, examines attic framing and slab expansion joints, and evaluates exterior conditions that invite infestation. Detailed findings, not just a checkbox.
Florida ranks as the highest-risk state in the country for termite damage, and Southwest Florida sits at the center of it. The year-round warmth, high humidity, and sandy soil across Manatee, Sarasota, and Charlotte counties create perfect conditions for both subterranean and drywood termite species. These pests work silently inside your walls, under your slab, and through your attic — and by the time you see evidence, the damage is already done. A professional termite inspection from Parrish Pest Control catches colonies early, before a hidden problem becomes a five-figure repair.
Two Types of Termites, Two Types of Risk
Subterranean termites live in the soil and build mud tube tunnels to reach the wood in your home. They enter through cracks in your slab, gaps around plumbing penetrations, and anywhere wood contacts or comes near the ground. A mature colony can consume several pounds of wood per year and cause serious structural damage over time.
Drywood termites don’t need soil contact at all. They fly directly into your home — typically through attic vents, soffit gaps, or around window frames — and establish colonies inside the wood itself. Drywood termites are harder to detect because they live entirely within the wood they’re eating. The only visible clue is often tiny pellet-like droppings (frass) that fall from infested wood.
Both species are active year-round in our climate. There is no winter dormancy period. If you’re not inspecting, you’re guessing.
What Our Inspection Covers
Every Parrish Pest Control termite inspection follows a thorough, systematic process:
- Foundation and slab edges — Checking for mud tubes, shelter tunnels, and cracks along the concrete perimeter where subterranean termites enter.
- Interior wood framing — Probing baseboards, door frames, window casings, and closet walls for soft spots, tunneling, and live termite activity.
- Attic and roof structure — Inspecting trusses, ridge beams, rafters, and roof sheathing for drywood termite colonies and frass deposits.
- Crawl spaces and sub-floor areas — Anywhere darkness and moisture intersect is a termite magnet.
- Exterior perimeter — Mulch beds, landscape timbers, wood fencing, irrigation boxes, stucco weep holes, and tree stumps near the structure.
- Moisture-prone areas — Under sinks, around tubs, behind washing machines, near water heaters, and at AC drain line connections.
- Garage and storage areas — The wall-to-slab junction, stored lumber, cardboard boxes, and shelving attached to framing.
We document every finding with photos and walk you through the results in plain English — no jargon, no scare tactics, just a clear picture of your home’s condition.
When to Schedule an Inspection
- You’ve spotted discarded wings near windows, doors, or light fixtures — especially after warm rain.
- You see mud tubes on your foundation, along pipes, or inside your garage.
- Wood sounds hollow when you tap on it — baseboards, trim, or door frames.
- Small pellets are collecting on windowsills or beneath wooden surfaces.
- Paint is bubbling or peeling in areas with no moisture source.
- Doors or windows suddenly stick when they used to open and close smoothly.
- You’re buying or selling a home and need a WDO report.
- You haven’t had a termite inspection in the past year.
WDO Inspections for Real Estate
Most Florida home sales require a Wood Destroying Organism (WDO) inspection before closing. Lenders, title companies, and real estate attorneys rely on the official NPMA-33 form to verify that a property is clear of active termite damage and other wood-destroying organisms. Our licensed inspectors provide this report with fast turnaround so your transaction stays on schedule. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or agent, we’ll deliver the documentation the deal needs.

Questions We Hear Every Day
Quick answers from our SWFL pest pros.
I don't see any pests — do I still need pest control?
Fair question. In Southwest Florida, by the time you spot a roach in the kitchen or ghost ants on the counter, there's usually a colony somewhere you can't see. Our humidity, rainy season, and slab-on-grade homes keep pests active all 12 months.
What a quarterly visit does:
- Renews the exterior treatment before sun and rain wear it down
- Catches entry points — weep holes, soffit gaps, slab cracks — before anything moves in
- Covers you between visits: on a recurring plan, if covered pests show up, we come back free
If you're pest-free right now, that's the easiest time to start. We're maintaining, not chasing.
Why are ongoing treatments necessary instead of just an initial one?
Because Florida has no off-season. Warm, wet weather keeps ants, roaches, and spiders active year-round, and exterior treatments wear down in the sun and rain. Recurring visits renew that protection, catch new entry points, and adjust to what's active each season — ghost ants in the rainy months, rodents moving indoors in the cooler ones. The first service knocks the population down. Recurring visits keep it down.
Is it necessary for me to be at home during pest and lawn services?
For your first pest control visit, yes. We walk the property with you, look at problem spots, and treat inside. After that, most pest visits are exterior, so you don't need to be home; if a visit includes interior work, we'll set a time with you. Lawn service happens outdoors, so you don't need to be home for any lawn visit. Either way, you get a digital service report with photos when we're done.
Why hire a professional when I can do it myself?
You can handle a lot yourself: seal gaps, fix leaks, pull mulch back from the foundation. A pro earns the fee in the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying the exact species (ghost ants and fire ants need opposite approaches), choosing products that won't scatter a colony, and getting into attics and soffits. On a recurring plan, we also come back free if pests return. Store-bought repellent sprays often push ants and roaches deeper into the walls instead of ending the problem.
What are these tiny bugs in my pantry?
Usually one of three: Indian meal moths (small moths, plus webbing in grain or cereal), rice weevils (tiny beetles with a snout, in rice and pasta), or flour beetles (small reddish-brown beetles in flour and baking mixes). Throw out infested food, vacuum the shelves, and move dry goods into sealed containers. If they keep coming back after a thorough clean-out, call us and we'll track down the source.
Why do you treat both the inside and outside of my home?
The first visit covers both: we treat what's active indoors and set up protection outside. After that, recurring visits focus on the exterior — the perimeter, eaves, and entry points — because that's where most Florida pests come from. If you need an inside treatment between visits, we'll come back for that too, free on a recurring plan.
What happens if I'm still seeing pests after my first treatment?
That's normal for the first week or two. The treatment disturbs hidden nests and flushes pests into the open before it takes full effect, so you may see more before you see fewer. If activity hasn't dropped after about two weeks, call us. On a recurring plan, the re-treat is free.
