Signs of a Pest Infestation in Port Charlotte
Living in Port Charlotte’s warm and humid climate means pests are a year-round concern for homeowners and businesses. At Westfall's Lawn and Pest Control, we understand the unique pest challenges our community faces and are here to help you identify the warning signs of an infestation before it becomes a bigger problem.
Common Signs of a Pest Infestation:
- Droppings or Debris: Rodents leave behind droppings, while insects like termites may leave discarded wings or sawdust-like frass. These are clear indicators of pest activity.
- Unusual Sounds: Scratching in walls, squeaking in the attic, or rustling noises at night can signal rodents or other pests nesting in your property.
- Damage to Property: Chewed wires, gnawed wood, and holes in furniture or walls are signs of rodents or termites. This damage can escalate quickly if left untreated.
- Unpleasant Odors: Foul smells, such as the musty odor of a cockroach infestation or the ammonia-like scent of rodent urine, are red flags.
- Visible Pests: Seeing ants, cockroaches, or rodents during the day often means the infestation is severe.
- Nests or Webs: Spiders, wasps, or rodents may build nests in hidden areas like basements, attics, or corners.

What are bill bugs?
Bill bugs are a type of weevil that is well-known for their behavior of destroying lawns. There are dozens of different bill bug species, and around ten of these species are particularly known for invading lawns and munching away on the plants they find there both as adults and in their immature stages.
Adult bill bugs grow to be around 1/4 of an inch long and have black or grey bodies. They have long snouts and a broad thorax, plus six legs. Larval bill bugs are also referred to as grubs, and they are plump, cream, or white in color, and curved or C-shaped.
Westfall's Lawn and Pest will help you with identification issues and provide you with effective bill bug removal solutions.
-
Are bill bugs dangerous?
Bill bugs are relatively harmless to humans, as they don’t bite, nor do they transmit bacteria and pathogens to human properties. However, an infestation of bill bugs is dangerous for your outdoor areas as these insects chew away at the roots of your grass and other vegetation. Over time, a bill bug infestation will completely destroy the health of your outdoor plants and leave your lawn looking brown, patchy, and parched.
Another major problem with widespread bill bug infestation is the predators that will come looking to eat these insects. Having an infestation of bill bugs often leads to a plethora of birds, skunks, and wasps on your property causing their own serious issues.
-
Why do I have a bill bug problem?
Bill bugs are attracted to properties where they have lots of food in the form of grass and leaves to chew. In most cases, untreated lawns, overgrown grasses, and trees that are not protected by pest repellents will be prime attractants to bill bugs looking to feed and lay their eggs. These pests are most active in summer as they move from yard to yard searching for food.
-
Where will I find bill bugs?
Bill bugs are almost always found outside, as they prefer to inhabit long grasses, trees, leaf piles, and other areas of overgrown foliage. You may see bill bugs occasionally gathering on the siding of your home, and they may accidentally find their way indoors, but these insects will die if they are away from lawns and garden spaces for too long.
