Precision Pest Control focuses on sealing and prevention work across Tamarac, in the older retirement communities around Kings Point as well as the single-family blocks closer to Commercial Boulevard. Most of the houses here were built decades ago, and the small gaps that show up as a house settles matter more than another round of spraying.


Centipedes and scorpions get in through weep holes and door thresholds that have shifted over the decades in Tamarac's older housing stock. Conenose bugs and false chinch bugs slip through torn window screens and unsealed utility penetrations, especially on homes backing up to the canals that run through much of the city. Drain flies breed in slow bathroom and laundry drains inside older plumbing systems, blister beetles show up seasonally around landscaping beds, and subterranean termites work through soil contact points that a sealed foundation would otherwise block.
A lot of Tamarac's housing went up in the 1960s through the 1980s, and that means decades of settling, shifting screens, and small gaps that never get noticed until something is already inside. We spend more time sealing than spraying on most of these jobs, closing weep holes with vent screens, resealing expansion joints, and replacing torn screening on lanais and porches. Scorpions and centipedes in particular do not respond well to repeat treatment alone, since they keep finding the same gap around a door threshold or utility line no matter how many times the yard gets sprayed.
The canals that run through Kings Point and the rest of the city add moisture pressure that makes sealing even more important. We grade soil away from foundations where it has settled toward the house instead of away from it, screen weep holes without blocking drainage the wall needs, and check attic and soffit vents for gaps that give conenose bugs and other pests a way in during the cooler months. A house that gets sealed properly needs far less chemical treatment going forward, and it holds up better against the next thing that tries to get in than a house that only gets sprayed on a schedule.
