🎃 Halloween weekend is almost here, and we want to see your spooky side!

Which best describes your house?

🎃 One pumpkin and done
👻 Cute and kid-friendly
🕸️ Full haunted-house experience
😂 Lights off—please skip our house

Before bringing natural fall decorations indoors, give them a quick inspection. Dried corn cobs, ornamental corn, dried flowers and other plant-based decorations can sometimes arrive with unwanted pantry pests hiding inside.

🔍 Look for tiny beetles, larvae, webbing or small holes
🌽 Inspect and shake out natural decorations outdoors
🥫 Keep them away from your pantry and stored food
🗑️ Discard anything showing signs of insect activity

Now for the fun part—share a picture of your Halloween decorations in the comments! Please crop out your house number before posting.

Happy Halloween from The Bug Doctor!

❤️ Sometimes change brings something really wonderful.

Let’s face it — change isn’t always easy. We get comfortable with familiar faces, familiar routines, and knowing exactly what to expect.

That’s especially true when you’re welcoming someone new into your home.

This week, our newest team member, Dillon Coop, completed his first week in the field after finishing his training.

And then we received this message from two of our customers, Lew and Kathie:

💬 “Dillon was here. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Great addition to your team. Pls add Dillon to my file.”

Now THAT is the kind of message that makes our day! ❤️

At The Bug Doctor, we know that earning someone’s trust takes more than showing up with a sprayer. It takes knowledge, patience, attention to detail, and genuinely caring about the people we serve.

We’re incredibly proud of Dillon for making such a positive impression right out of the gate.

Change can feel uncertain at first, but sometimes it turns out to be exactly what you needed.

Thank you, Lew and Kathie, for taking the time to share your experience. And Dillon, congratulations on a fantastic first week! 👏🐜

🎃 Scary movies are one thing. A surprise bug in the bathroom? That’s a different story.

When an unexpected crawler appears, which person are you?

A. The calm investigator: “Let me get a picture.”
B. The negotiator: “You stay over there, and I’ll stay over here.”
C. The caller: “Somebody come get this!”
D. Already outside. No further questions. 😂

Here at The Bug Doctor, we appreciate a clear picture—and we understand a startled phone call, too!

Tell us your letter below. Bonus points if your household has one of each.

🐜 SUGAR ANTS, SUGAR ANTS EVERYWHERE!

If you’ve called us about tiny ants in your kitchen this week, you’re definitely not alone! Our phones have been ringing with calls about these little troublemakers.

But here’s something you might not know…

“Sugar ants” isn’t actually the name of one particular species here in Florida!

Those tiny ants marching across your countertop could be ghost ants, pharaoh ants, or another species attracted to food and moisture.

And here’s why that matters:

🔍 Different ants require different treatment approaches.

Some species can actually make a bigger problem out of a smaller one when the wrong products are used. Spraying the ants you see isn’t always the best solution!

💡 THE BUG DOCTOR TIP: Wipe up spills, store food in sealed containers, eliminate moisture sources, and resist the urge to spray every ant trail with whatever’s under the kitchen sink.

📸 Not sure what kind of ants you’ve got? Send us a clear picture! Proper identification helps us recommend the right approach.

Because when it comes to pest control, knowing WHAT you’re dealing with is just as important as knowing HOW to treat it.

🕷️ BUG OF THE WEEK #8: BROWN WIDOW SPIDER

That little spiky ball in a messy web isn’t a tiny Halloween decoration—it may be a brown widow egg sac!

Brown widows can range from tan to very dark brown. Look for banded legs, a rounded abdomen and an orange-red hourglass marking underneath. Their most recognizable clue may be the cream-colored, spiky egg sacs, which resemble sandspurs.

They often build messy webs in protected, undisturbed areas around structures, fences, sheds and outdoor furniture.

If you find a suspected widow spider:

🔍 Look without touching
📸 Take a clear photo from a safe distance
🧤 Use caution when moving stored items
🚫 Never handle the spider or egg sacs bare-handed

Widow spiders have medically significant venom, so identification and caution matter.

Found a spider you don’t recognize? Send The Bug Doctor a clear photograph or call 352-237-0122.

🎉 Help us welcome the newest member of The Bug Doctor family — Dillon Coop! 🐜

Dillon brings something we really appreciate to our team: a curious mind and a problem-solving approach to pest control.

He’s not just interested in getting rid of pests. He wants to know WHY they’re there in the first place and what’s going to be the most effective way to treat the problem.

With excellent instincts, strong critical-thinking skills, and a background in critter control, Dillon brings valuable knowledge and a fresh perspective to our crew.

Around here, we believe good pest control is about more than spraying bugs. It’s about understanding the problem and doing the job right.

We’re excited to have Dillon on board and can’t wait for our customers to get to know him!

Welcome to the team, Dillon! 👏❤️
