Summer in Boca Raton means sunshine, lush landscaping, and plenty of time outdoors — but it also means a surge in pest activity. From ants marching into kitchens to mosquitoes taking over backyards, South Florida’s warm, humid climate creates the perfect environment for unwanted guests.
At Hoffer Pest Solutions, we’ve been protecting Boca Raton homes — including neighborhoods like Woodfield Country Club, St. Andrew’s, and The Polo Club — for nearly 50 years. Here’s what you need to watch out for this summer and how to keep your home pest-free.
Ants – The Persistent Invaders
Most common in: Boca Isles, Boca Pointe, and gated communities with lush landscaping.
Why they thrive in summer: Heat and humidity accelerate ant breeding, and heavy rains drive them indoors.
Our tip: Keep kitchens crumb-free, store food in sealed containers, and address any leaks that provide water sources. Need ant control in Boca Raton? Request a free quote from Hoffer Pest Solutions.
Mosquitoes – Backyard Buzzkills
Most common in: Homes near lakes, canals, and golf courses like those in Mizner Country Club and The Oaks.
Why they thrive in summer: Standing water from afternoon storms becomes breeding grounds.
Our tip: Eliminate standing water, maintain landscaping, and consider a monthly mosquito reduction program.
Termites – Silent Home Destroyers
Most common in: Older properties and high-end homes with wood framing in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club.
Why they thrive in summer: Warm temperatures speed up colony growth.
Our tip: Schedule an annual termite inspection and consider the Sentricon® Always Active system for 24/7 protection.
Rodents – Roof Rats and Mice
Most common in: Waterfront and golf course properties in St. Andrew’s and The Polo Club.
Why they thrive in summer: Food sources are plentiful, and attic spaces offer cool shelter.
Our tip: Seal entry points, trim tree branches, and store food properly.
Lawn Pests – Chinch Bugs and Mole Crickets
Most common in: Lawns in Boca West, Boca Falls, and Broken Sound.
Why they thrive in summer: Hot, dry spells followed by rain create perfect conditions for lawn pests.
Our tip: Keep grass healthy with regular treatments to prevent brown patches and turf damage.
