Pest control built for horse country.
From equestrian estates to family neighborhoods, Empire Pest Defense brings the same 2006-founded guarantee to Wellington — just a short drive from our West Palm Beach office.
Why Wellington chooses Empire.
We're not a call center routing your request to a random contractor. Empire Pest Defense has been based in Palm Beach County since 2006 — the same crew, the same guarantee, whether your property backs up to a show ring or sits in a quiet cul-de-sac.
From the equestrian estates around Wellington International to family neighborhoods near Olympia and Binks Forest, we've treated Wellington properties for two decades and know exactly what horse country's climate and landscaping bring with it.
What we treat most in this area.
Every city has its own pest pressure. Here's what shows up most in Wellington homes.
American Cockroaches
Known locally as palmetto bugs — common around mature landscaping, barns, and drainage areas on Wellington properties.
Learn MoreGhost & White-Footed Ants
The most common ant complaint in Wellington homes — persistent trails along baseboards, patios, and kitchens.
Learn MoreSubterranean Termites
Wellington's mix of established homes and newer construction still calls for regular termite monitoring near foundations and mulch beds.
Learn MoreRodents
Rats and mice seeking shelter in barns, hay storage, and garages are a frequent concern on Wellington's horse properties.
Learn MoreMosquitoes
Canals, irrigation ponds, and standing water near equestrian facilities keep mosquito pressure high through most of the year.
Learn MoreTicks
Grassy pastures and wooded property lines make ticks a real concern for families, pets, and horses alike.
