What homeowners are usually solving

Different pests require different questions

General household service may cover common ants, cockroaches, and spiders, while termites, bed bugs, rodents, wildlife, and mosquitoes are often priced or handled separately. Before comparing quotes, confirm what is included, how the pest was identified, whether follow-up is included, and what preparation is required.

Florida regulates pest-control businesses and certified operators through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Consumers can review state licensing resources before hiring.

Before you hire

  • Confirm the business is properly licensed for the service category.
  • Ask whether the inspection, treatment, follow-up, and warranty are included.
  • Request the pest identification and treatment plan in writing.
  • Understand cancellation, renewal, and retreatment terms.
Core Florida pest categories

Start with a pest-specific guide

Termite ControlFlorida homeowners can encounter both subterranean and drywood termites. Because treatment methods differ, identification and a licensed inspection are more useful than choosing a product from symptoms alone.Cockroach ControlFlorida homes may see German cockroaches, American cockroaches—often called palmetto bugs—and other species. Treatment depends on species, nesting area, sanitation, moisture, and whether activity is isolated or established.Ant ControlFlorida ant problems range from indoor trailing ants to fire ants outdoors and carpenter ants around moisture-damaged wood. A useful service request identifies where the ants appear and whether they are nesting indoors, outdoors, or both.Rodent ControlRodent control works best when trapping is paired with entry-point correction. Florida homeowners may encounter roof rats, Norway rats, or house mice in attics, garages, kitchens, and wall voids.Mosquito ControlFlorida mosquito pressure is closely tied to standing water, rainfall, landscaping, shade, and neighboring conditions. Professional service can reduce activity, but no ethical provider should promise permanent elimination outdoors.Bed Bug TreatmentBed bugs can spread through luggage, furniture, shared walls, and everyday movement. Bites alone are not enough for confirmation; inspection evidence should guide whether a provider recommends chemical, heat, or combined treatment.
