Protecting Southwest Florida homes and businesses with personalized service and local knowledge.
When you choose Yard Brat Pest & Termite, you're not just getting pest control—you're getting neighbors who understand your community. For over 44 years, we've been serving families and businesses throughout Manatee County and the surrounding areas. We know the specific pest pressures each neighborhood faces, from the ghost ants that plague Lakewood Ranch kitchens to the mosquitoes that swarm Anna Maria Island, from the termites that threaten historic Bradenton homes to the rodents that invade Ellenton warehouses. This local knowledge isn't something you can learn from a manual—it comes from decades of hands-on experience protecting Southwest Florida properties.
Our local roots mean faster response times, personalized service, and technicians who truly understand Southwest Florida's unique subtropical environment. Unlike national chains that rotate technicians from distant offices, our team lives and works right here in Manatee County. When you call Yard Brat, you'll speak with someone who knows your area—and you'll often see the same familiar faces at each service visit. That consistency builds trust and allows our technicians to notice changes in pest activity or conditions at your property over time.
Whether you're in a beachfront condo on Longboat Key, a new construction home in Lakewood Ranch, a historic bungalow in downtown Bradenton, or a commercial property in Ellenton, we have the experience and expertise to protect your property. We tailor our services to each location's specific needs, because we know that pest pressures vary significantly across our diverse service area. A waterfront property faces different challenges than an inland home, and a restaurant requires different protocols than a residential kitchen. Our customized approach ensures you get exactly the protection your property needs.
Featured Service Areas
Comprehensive pest control services in our primary service communities.
Bradenton, FL
Manatee County Seat
As our home base and Manatee County's largest city, Bradenton is where Yard Brat was founded in 1980. From the historic villages to the newer developments, we've protected generations of Bradenton families from Florida's relentless pests. Our deep knowledge of Bradenton's diverse neighborhoods—from downtown to Bayshore to West Bradenton—allows us to provide truly customized service. We understand the older construction in the historic districts and the specific pest challenges that come with Bradenton's proximity to the Manatee River and Tampa Bay.
Lakewood Ranch
Master-Planned Community
Florida's top-selling master-planned community presents unique pest challenges. New construction attracts termites seeking fresh wood, while the abundance of ponds, preserves, and golf courses creates ideal mosquito breeding grounds. We work closely with Lakewood Ranch HOAs and property managers to maintain pest-free communities throughout this rapidly growing area. Our team understands the specific requirements of different neighborhoods within LWR, from Country Club East to Waterside.
Ellenton, FL
Commercial & Residential Hub
Home to the Premium Outlets and a growing mix of residential and commercial properties, Ellenton requires versatile pest control solutions. We serve retail establishments, restaurants, warehouses, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods with equal expertise. Our commercial clients trust us to protect their businesses without disrupting operations, while homeowners appreciate our attention to detail and friendly service. The area's mix of newer developments and established neighborhoods means we tailor our approach to each property's unique needs.
Palmetto, FL
Historic Riverfront City
Situated along the beautiful Manatee River, Palmetto's mix of historic homes and waterfront properties face moisture-related pest challenges unique to riverfront living. Older structures are particularly vulnerable to termites and wood-destroying organisms, while the riverfront location attracts mosquitoes and other water-loving pests throughout the year. We understand the special care that Palmetto's historic properties require, and we use treatments that protect both your home and its character.
Anna Maria Island
Gulf Coast Paradise
The island communities of Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach face intense pest pressure from salt air, humidity, and abundant wildlife. Vacation rentals require rapid response to protect guest experiences and reviews, while year-round residents battle persistent mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and moisture-loving pests. The island's unique environment requires specialized knowledge—we understand how salt air affects treatment longevity and which products work best in high-humidity coastal conditions. We keep island properties pest-free year-round.
Sarasota, FL
Arts & Culture Capital
While our primary service area is Manatee County, we're proud to extend our services to our Sarasota County neighbors as well. From downtown Sarasota's vibrant restaurants and retail shops to the beautiful residential neighborhoods surrounding the city, we bring the same local expertise and personalized service that has made us Bradenton's most trusted pest control company for over four decades. Sarasota's diverse architecture and landscapes require knowledgeable technicians who understand the unique pest pressures of each area.
