Loxahatchee Groves Pest Questions
What pests are common on Loxahatchee Groves horse properties and large lots?
Loxahatchee Groves' rural-residential large lots and horse properties face elevated fire ant pressure in pastures and paddocks, wildlife intrusion from adjacent preserve and natural areas including armadillos digging extensively in lawns, raccoons targeting feed storage, and mosquitoes breeding in irrigation ponds and drainage ditches. Fly pressure near horse stalls and manure storage is also a significant concern.
How do I control fire ants on a large Loxahatchee Groves property?
Large agricultural and equestrian lots in Loxahatchee Groves require broadcast bait applications across the entire property rather than individual mound treatments alone. Professional quarterly programs using granular two-step bait applications with follow-up mound treatment provide the most cost-effective coverage for large lots. Reinvasion from surrounding natural areas makes ongoing service essential.
Are armadillos destroying my Loxahatchee Groves lawn?
Armadillo digging damage is very common in western Palm Beach County communities bordering natural areas. Armadillos excavate characteristic conical holes throughout lawns searching for grubs and earthworms. Professional live trapping and relocation is the humane control approach. Exclusion fencing buried 8–10 inches underground around specific garden areas prevents access to high-value plantings.
