About

Soul Pest Control is a family owned pest control company based in Winter Haven, serving homes and businesses across Polk County with more than 25 years of experience. Every job starts with a careful inspection of the property, followed by a plain-English explanation of what we found and what the treatment plan involves. Polk County homes deal with German cockroaches, ghost ants, fire ants, spiders, and roof rats, and we treat each of those problems with a specific plan rather than a one-size-fits-all spray. You will know what we are doing and why before any product goes down.

Central Florida pests never really take a season off. Ants push indoors during the summer rainy season. Palmetto bugs move in from mulch, palms, and storm drains, and German cockroaches spread through kitchens and shared walls. Roof rats nest in palms, citrus trees, and attics, and silverfish, earwigs, and centipedes follow the moisture that comes with living near so many lakes. Our work starts by matching the treatment to the pest.

That can mean gel baiting where cockroaches actually travel, snap traps and exclusion sealing for mice, or a perimeter barrier around the foundation to stop ants and spiders before they reach the door. We also handle wasp and bee removal, flea and tick treatment, and mosquito treatment for yards where people spend their evenings. Commercial pest control is available for businesses that need a consistent schedule.

We serve homeowners and businesses in Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, Auburndale, Haines City, Davenport, Lake Wales, Dundee, Lake Hamilton, Polk City, Poinciana, and Plant City. Call (580) 730-1209 Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm, and we will set up an inspection at a time that works for you.

Pest control for Polk County homes and businesses

From ants and spiders to rodents, every job starts with a thorough inspection and a clear treatment plan. You know what we are doing and why.

• General Pest Control

  

  Soul Pest Control provides whole-home general pest control across Polk County, treating common house pests like ants, spiders, and roaches with thorough inspections and EPA-registered products. We explain every treatment plan in plain English and offer a twice-yearly schedule option for Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, and surrounding towns.

• Quarterly Pest Prevention

  

  Soul Pest Control provides quarterly pest prevention for homes across Polk County, stopping pests before they get inside. Each seasonal visit includes an entry point inspection, a perimeter treatment, and a clear written report. Homeowners in Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Bartow stay ahead of ants, roaches, and rodents year-round.

• Ant Control

  

  Soul Pest Control targets ant colonies at the source, not just the trails you see. Homes across Polk County deal with ghost ants, carpenter ants, and fire ants that keep coming back after store-bought sprays. We inspect, identify the species, treat the colony, and explain every step in plain English.

• Cockroach Control

  

  Soul Pest Control targets cockroaches where they actually live: kitchen cabinets, bathroom voids, and appliance gaps in Polk County homes. We inspect first, explain the treatment plan in plain English, and use gel baiting and crack and crevice application to reach hidden harborages. Follow-up reporting keeps you informed.

• Spider Control

  

  Soul Pest Control clears spiders from Polk County homes by doing the two things that actually work: knocking down webs where they form and treating the entry points spiders use to get inside. Homeowners across Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Bartow get a clear explanation of what we find, a focused treatment plan, and a follow-up report after every visit.

• Flea Treatment

  

  Soul Pest Control treats flea infestations in Polk County homes with a life-cycle aware approach, covering adult fleas, larvae, and eggs. We inspect pet areas, apply EPA-registered products where fleas breed, and explain every step. Homeowners in Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Bartow call us for flea treatment that addresses the whole problem.

• Tick Treatment

  

  Soul Pest Control treats Polk County yards where ticks actually live, from Lakeland lawns to acreage outside Bartow. We inspect grass edges, fence lines, and shady resting spots, then apply targeted treatments suited to homes with outdoor pets. You get a clear explanation of the plan and a follow-up report after each visit.

• Wasp and Bee Removal

  

  Soul Pest Control removes wasp nests and handles bee situations for homes across Polk County, including Lakeland and Winter Haven. Every visit starts with a full inspection to find the nest, identify the insect, and confirm the safest approach. After removal, we point out the gaps, soffits, and lanai corners where stinging insects rebuild, so the problem does not come back.

• Rodent Control

  

  Soul Pest Control handles rodent control across Polk County, from Lakeland to Bartow to Haines City. We inspect for droppings, nesting, and entry points, then set snap traps and bait stations matched to how mice and roof rats actually travel along walls and rooflines. Follow-up checks confirm activity has stopped before we call the job done.

What customers say

4.8 out of 5 from 84 reviews on Google.

Steve did a great job throughout my residence. I found them because my neighbors were so please with Soul Pest control . I highly recommend this service. One more thing they have heart.

Excellent service! Steve the owner was very helpful. Very fair and affordable, was very thorough and detailed. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Steve!

I’ve used Soul Pest Control for several years now with great satisfaction. Steve is always responsive and thorough. He comes as scheduled, completes his work and reports any issues or concerns. If I’m not at home he texts his report and photos if needed. His service of treatment once every six months was new to me at first, but now I’ve seen how good it works. Very few bugs inside or out. We’ve had a few pest issues pop up due to changing circumstances, mostly new pets causing fleas, then later, no pets, and more rodent activity. In each case, I’ve been impressed with Steve’s knowledge of the pest’s behavior, life cycles, and best control techniques. His solutions were dead on (pun intended) each time. I definitely give Soul Pest Control a hearty recommendation. 3 word summary : Honest, effective, reliable.

Frequently asked questions

How soon will you get back to me in Polk City?

Every call is covered by our 48-hour call-back guarantee, so you hear from us within 48 hours to talk through what you are seeing and set a time for an inspection. Polk City is part of our regular service area in northern Polk County. Call (580) 730-1209, Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm, or leave a message.

What pests are most common around Polk City?

Being on Lake Agnes and at the edge of the Green Swamp, Polk City sees a lot of moisture and outdoor pests. Ticks and fleas are common in shaded yards, fire ants build mounds in open ground, and mice and rats move in from the woods. Indoors, American cockroaches, ants, spiders and silverfish are the usual calls, along with German roaches in some rentals.

What affects the cost of pest control in Polk City?

The biggest factors are the pest, how far it has spread, and the size of the property. A home on a few acres with a barn or shed needs more ground covered than a house on a town lot. Whether you want a one-time treatment or a yearly plan also matters. We inspect first and give you honest, fair, customized pricing before we start.

Do you offer prevention plans in Polk City?

Yes. Yearly residential plans with regular visits are the best fit for most Polk City homes, because ticks, ants and rodents keep coming in from the surrounding land all year in our warm climate. For businesses, we offer commercial plans on a monthly or every-other-month schedule. If you only have one problem to solve, a one-time treatment is also an option.

What drives the price of a pest control job?

Price depends on the size of the property, the type of pest, how established the problem is, and how many treatments the plan needs. A first visit includes a full inspection so the estimate reflects what was actually found, not a flat guess. You get the scope and cost explained before any work starts.

Which areas does Soul Pest Control serve?

We cover Lakeland, Winter Haven, Bartow, Auburndale, Haines City, Davenport, Lake Wales, Dundee, Lake Hamilton, Polk City, Poinciana, and Plant City, along with the rest of Polk County. We are a service-area business, so scheduling a visit is as simple as calling (580) 730-1209 and confirming your location.

How soon can a visit be booked?

Most calls can be scheduled within a few days, and we will tell you the earliest opening when you call. Office hours run Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM most days. Active infestations like roaches or wasps get priority whenever the schedule allows.

How should I prepare for the first treatment?

Prep is usually light. For inside work, clear access along baseboards and under sinks, put away food and pet dishes, and plan to keep kids and pets off treated surfaces until dry. For fleas, vacuum first and wash pet bedding. We confirm any specific prep steps when you book.

What happens during a typical service visit?

The technician inspects, explains what they found, and lays out the treatment plan in plain English. Treatments may include a perimeter barrier, crack and crevice application, bait stations, or a rodent baiting system depending on the pest. Before leaving, you get a clear summary of what was done and what comes next.

Do I need to sign up for a quarterly plan?

A one-time treatment is available, but a yearly plan with regular visits works better for Florida pests like ants, roaches, and spiders that stay active all year. If a recurring plan makes sense for your home, the technician will explain why and what each visit covers. The choice stays yours.

How do you handle wasp nests around the house?

Wasp nest removal targets the nest itself plus the surrounding area, usually eaves, soffits, and entry gaps where paper wasps and yellow jackets build. The technician treats the nest, removes it when accessible, and notes spots worth watching. Trying to knock a nest down yourself often scatters angry wasps.

Are the products used safe around kids and pets?

Treatments use EPA-registered products applied in targeted amounts, focused on entry points, harborage areas, and exterior foundations rather than broad spraying of living spaces. The technician explains reentry times and any precautions before leaving, so you know exactly when normal activity can resume.

Serving Polk City

Polk City sits in northern Polk County on the north shore of Lake Agnes, where State Roads 33 and 559 meet, with I-4 just to the south. It is the only town inside the Green Swamp, a large area of wetlands and woods that holds water much of the year. The General James A. Van Fleet State Trail starts here and runs north through that swamp. All that water and cover means ticks in shaded yards and trail edges, fire ants in open ground, and mice and rats moving from woods and pastures into sheds, garages and homes. Lakeside homes also deal with silverfish, earwigs and centipedes that follow the moisture.

Why Polk City customers need this work

Rural lots and lake frontage shape what Polk City homeowners need. Tick Treatment in Polk City and Flea Treatment in Polk City focus on shaded yards, fence lines and the spots where pets rest, which matter more here than in town. Rodent Control in Polk City combines baiting systems with a check of the places mice and rats get in, and Mouse Exclusion in Polk City seals those gaps. General Pest Control in Polk City covers ants, spiders, roaches and the moisture pests that come off the lake, and German roaches get the same specialist attention we give them everywhere.

Why Choose Soul Pest Control for Pest control in Polk City

Polk City is a small town with lake homes along Lake Agnes, houses on larger rural lots and newer homes closer to I-4. Wooded edges and open land bring in pests that town lots rarely see, so we take time to inspect the whole property, not just the kitchen. After the inspection we tell you in plain English what is going on, what we recommend and what it will cost. Then we treat, and we follow up to confirm the plan is working and change it if it is not.

Our team has over 25 years of experience and specializes in German roaches. We are licensed and insured.
