Q and L Pest Management serves the Town of Gulf Stream from nearby Lantana. We provide inspection-first pest, termite and lawn and ornamental care for estate homes and landscaped properties between the ocean and the Intracoastal.
Gulf Stream is a quiet coastal town between Briny Breezes and Delray Beach, known for its estate homes, mature landscaping, golf and an unhurried, residential feel.
Large homes with tile roofs, extensive landscaping, palms and irrigation create plenty of places for pests to live. Our approach is to inspect the full property, including the roofline, gardens and outbuildings, before recommending a plan.

Common pests in Gulf Stream by season
In Gulf Stream, roof rats in palms and dense hedges, whitefly and scale on ornamentals, and drywood termites in wood trim and attics are common concerns. Mosquitoes rest in shaded landscaping during the rainy season.
- November to January: rodents, especially roof rats, move indoors as nights cool.
- Spring: termite swarms. Save a few wings or bugs so we can identify them, and see our guide to termite signs.
- Rainy season: mosquitoes, plus ants and palmetto bugs pushed indoors by heavy rain.
- Hot, dry season: chinch bugs in St. Augustine lawns.
