Turbo Pest Solutions
Boats & Marina Pest Control
Specialized pest management for marine environments — boats, docks, boat houses, and marina facilities in Citrus County and the Nature Coast.
Marine Environments Require Specialized Pest Control
Boats and marinas present unique pest control challenges. Cockroaches thrive in the warm, humid engine compartments and galley areas of boats. Rodents board vessels via dock lines and can cause serious damage to wiring, upholstery, and stored food. Marina facilities — bathhouses, storage buildings, and docks — face the same pest pressures as any commercial property.
Turbo Pest Solutions has experience treating marine environments with products and methods appropriate for use near water. We understand the sensitivity of aquatic ecosystems and use targeted, low-impact treatments that are effective against pests without harming the marine environment.

Our Process
How It Works
Marine Inspection
We inspect the vessel or facility thoroughly — galley, engine compartment, bilge area, storage, and living quarters — to identify pest species and entry points.
Targeted Treatment
We apply appropriate treatments using products safe for marine environments. Gel baits, traps, and targeted sprays are used in areas where pests are active.
Ongoing Service
Regular scheduled visits keep your vessel and marina facilities pest-free. We work around your schedule and boating season.
Warning Signs
Signs of Pest Problems on Boats & Marinas
Cockroaches in the Galley
Finding cockroaches in the kitchen area, cabinets, or near the stove is common on boats — they love the warmth and food sources.
Rodent Droppings
Mouse or rat droppings in storage areas, the bilge, or near food stores indicate rodents have boarded your vessel.
Chewed Materials
Gnaw marks on wiring, ropes, upholstery, or food packaging are signs of rodent activity that can cause serious and costly damage.
Moisture Pests
Silverfish, springtails, and other moisture-loving pests thrive in the damp conditions common in bilge areas and storage compartments.
Dock & Boathouse Activity
Pests seen on docks, in boathouses, or in marina buildings often find their way onto moored vessels — treat the facility and the boat together.
Odors Below Deck
Musty or ammonia-like odors below deck can indicate rodent nesting or cockroach infestations in hidden areas of the vessel.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to treat a boat near water?
Yes. We use products specifically selected for use in or near aquatic environments and apply them in ways that prevent runoff into the water. We follow all label requirements and environmental regulations.
Do I need to remove food and dishes before treatment?
Yes. We ask that you remove or cover food, dishes, and cooking utensils from the galley before treatment. We provide specific preparation instructions when you schedule.
Can you treat my boat while it is in the water?
Yes. We can treat vessels while docked. For some treatments, we may recommend hauling the boat if access to the hull or bilge is needed.
Do you service commercial marinas?
Yes. We offer commercial programs for marina facilities including bathhouses, ship stores, storage buildings, and common areas. Contact us for a custom quote.
