Pest Control in Casselberry, FL - Family & Pet-Friendly Protection
Maintaining a comfortable Casselberry home becomes difficult when ants, roaches, spiders, and other pests act like permanent residents throughout the year. Central Florida’s steady warmth, frequent rainfall, mature neighborhoods with established trees, and proximity to lakes create perfect breeding grounds for pest populations—not only outdoors, but inside your living spaces as well.
Gato Lawn & Pest Control is a family-owned business that’s been protecting Central Florida properties since 1999. Owner Johnny Gato has made Central Florida his home for over 40 years and built Gato around the everyday needs of local families—serving Casselberry, Winter Springs, Longwood, Fern Park, and surrounding communities.

Family & Pet-Friendly Pest Control in Casselberry
Among the first questions Casselberry parents ask: “Will this be safe around my children and pets?”
We structure every service with that priority foremost:
- Precision applications – Rather than coating every surface, your technician targets actual pest pathways and nesting sites: gaps, crevices, wall spaces, baseboards, access points, and exterior foundation zones.
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles – Where practical, we pair treatment products with non-chemical strategies like closing entry points, controlling moisture, trimming vegetation away from structures, and removing attractants.
- Thoughtful product decisions – We employ professional-grade materials applied per manufacturer specifications, with particular attention to areas where children and pets spend time in and around your Casselberry home.
- Transparent post-service communication – Following each visit, you’ll understand exactly what was applied, specific locations, and any actions you should take—such as keeping children and pets away from treated zones until surfaces dry.
Our objective: powerful, dependable pest control with minimal household impact, so you feel completely secure about your home’s protection.
Residential Pest Control in Casselberry: What to Expect
Our residential pest control program emphasizes sustained prevention rather than quick-fix “spray and disappear” approaches.
1. Inspection & Discussion
Each appointment begins with a thorough walkthrough and conversation. Your technician will:
- Ask about where you’ve noticed bugs, droppings, or concerning activity
- Examine typical problem locations: kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, garages, attics, and exterior entry points
- Identify moisture concerns, gaps around plumbing and doorways, vegetation contact with your home, and other pest-inviting conditions
This enables them to design a treatment strategy customized to your specific Casselberry property, considering its architectural style, age, landscaping, and proximity to lakes or wooded areas.
2. Initial “Clean-Out” Service
When you’re experiencing moderate or significant activity, the first appointment often includes a more intensive clean-out:
- Interior crack-and-crevice applications in kitchens, bathrooms, and other priority zones
- Targeted spot treatments where pests are currently active
- Dusting or baiting in wall cavities, attics, and other hidden spaces (when appropriate)
This phase focuses on rapidly reducing existing populations, making your home easier to maintain with regular service.
3. Exterior Perimeter Barrier
The majority of ongoing protection happens outside, where pests attempt entry:
- Treating your property’s perimeter and foundation
- Concentrating on doorways, window frames, weep holes, eaves, and utility entry points
- Removing accessible spider webs and wasp nests
- Managing landscape “contact zones” where shrubs, trees, or mulch beds meet your structure
Exterior products are selected to withstand Florida rainfall and irrigation, ensuring your protective barrier doesn’t disappear after a single afternoon thunderstorm.
4. Ongoing Maintenance & Prevention
Following the initial clean-out, we typically transition Casselberry homes to a regular service rotation—monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly, based on pest pressure and your preferences. During each visit, your technician will:
- Reinforce the exterior barrier
- Monitor for new pest activity or conducive conditions
- Treat interior areas when necessary
- Share practical suggestions to reduce pest pressure between appointments
Should bugs appear between scheduled services, you can arrange a follow-up visit at no extra cost under most programs.
Common Pests Around Casselberry Gato Regularly Treats
Casselberry and surrounding communities experience many of the same pest species found throughout Central Florida. We focus on those most likely to invade homes.
Ants
Casselberry homeowners face various ant species, from tiny sugar and ghost ants in kitchens to fire ants in landscapes and carpenter ants capable of wood damage. Ants frequently trail into bathrooms and kitchens seeking moisture and food.
We employ a combination of baits and residual products targeting both visible ants and the colonies behind them, addressing problems at their source.
Roaches
German cockroaches in kitchens, American “palmetto bugs” in garages and entryways—roaches thrive in Casselberry’s warm, humid environment. After establishing food sources and shelter, they reproduce rapidly.
Technicians locate harborage sites, apply treatments directly into cracks and crevices, and establish protective barriers making roach re-entry more difficult.
Spiders
Spiders are prevalent around eaves, soffits, porches, garages, and exterior lighting throughout Casselberry. While most pose no danger, webs and unexpected encounters concern families.
We target spider harborage locations and reduce overall insect populations—the food source spiders depend on—helping decrease both webs and sightings.
Silverfish, Earwigs & Other Occasional Invaders
Silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, and other occasional pests often appear in bathrooms, garages, and storage spaces. Our general pest program includes these invaders by focusing on their preferred hiding spots and the moisture conditions attracting them.
Fleas & Ticks
Pets spending time outdoors and wildlife moving through Casselberry properties can introduce fleas and ticks to your yard and home.
Your technician can recommend a coordinated strategy that may include:
- Treating critical outdoor resting and activity areas
- Addressing indoor concentration points like pet bedding and furniture
- Working with your veterinarian regarding pet-specific treatments
Rodents (Integrated with Pest Control)
Mice and rats can enter through surprisingly small openings, accessing attics, garages, and wall spaces. We provide rodent control and exclusion services integrated with your overall pest program, using professional-grade materials like steel wool, copper mesh, and sealants to block entry points.
Commercial Pest Control for Casselberry Businesses
While we’re well-known among local homeowners, we also support businesses in and around Casselberry and greater Central Florida.
Typical commercial clients include:
- Office buildings and professional spaces
- Retail shops and shopping centers
- Small medical and dental offices
- Storage units and warehouse facilities

Casselberry Pest Control FAQs
Why do Casselberry homes seem to have more pest problems than homes in other areas?
Casselberry’s combination of mature neighborhoods with established landscaping, proximity to multiple lakes (Lake Concord, Lake Kathryn, and others), and tree-lined streets creates ideal pest habitat. Older homes often have small foundation cracks and entry points from decades of settling, while the area’s abundant vegetation and moisture provide perfect conditions for ants, roaches, spiders, and other insects to thrive year-round. Properties near lakes face additional pressure from mosquitoes and moisture-loving pests. Professional pest control creates a defensive barrier and addresses the specific conditions that attract pests to Casselberry properties, preventing problems before they escalate into serious infestations.
How quickly will I notice results after starting service?
Most Casselberry homeowners observe a significant decrease in pest activity within the first few days following their initial treatment. It’s completely normal to notice increased pest movement immediately after service—this happens as insects encounter treated areas and try to escape. Within 1-2 weeks, you should see dramatically fewer pests. With regular scheduled visits, the majority of properties achieve and maintain consistently low activity levels. Properties with severe infestations or heavy outdoor pest pressure may need 2-3 service cycles to achieve full control, but we’ll give you realistic expectations during your initial inspection.
What happens during a typical pest control visit in Casselberry?
Your technician arrives during your scheduled window, conducts an exterior inspection looking for pest activity and entry points, treats your foundation perimeter and key access points with weather-resistant products, addresses any interior concerns if you’re home, removes accessible spider webs and wasp nests, and leaves a service summary explaining what was done and any observations. Most Casselberry appointments take 30-45 minutes depending on property size. For exterior-focused service, you don’t need to be home—we’ll complete the work and leave documentation. You can always call with questions between visits.
Is pest control safe with my Casselberry home full of kids and pets?
Absolutely, and safety is our highest priority. Our entire approach centers on family and pet safety: focused applications targeting specific pest habitats rather than widespread spraying, professional-grade products applied precisely according to manufacturer guidelines, and detailed guidance about when treated areas are safe for normal use—typically just a few hours after surfaces dry. If your household has particular concerns—pregnancy, infants, exotic pets, or allergies—inform your technician so we can customize our approach to fit your situation. Many Casselberry families with young children and multiple pets work with us successfully.
Which areas around Casselberry do you service?
We serve the greater Casselberry region and broader Central Florida area, including neighborhoods throughout Seminole, Orange, and Osceola counties, plus select areas in Lake and Polk counties.
