Do you have nuisance raccoons, rats, mice, or squirrels living in your attic, quietly chewing away the wood fiber in the beams?   Are possums or armadillos consuming your plants and bushes?  Are snakes slithering around your property, just far enough away that you can’t tell if they’re poisonous or not?

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) is the reputable South Florida company that provides licensed, insured, and guaranteed safe and humane nuisance wildlife removal.  We offer complete wildlife removal services.

Common nuisance wildlife found in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach include snakes, armadillos, raccoons, squirrels, skunks, shrews, possums, bats, rats, mice and birds

Rodents

Many of these wild animals seek shelter in attics, leaving urine and droppings that cause odor and mold problems.  Possums find good homes in sheds and can damage gardens and homes.  Raccoons get into trash and can destroy attic vents, ductwork, and other entry points of your home.  They also chew on electrical wires causing a potential fire hazard.

Several animals including bats, raccoons, rats and birds can spread dangerous diseases including salmonella and histoplasmosis.  Rats and mice spread numerous diseases through feces, urine, saliva and bites.  Additionally, mice can spread the dangerous hantavirus and bats can spread rabies.

Armadillos and Skunks

Armadillos and skunks tear up property, the former looking for food and the latter digging to create places to live under decks.  And we all know what happens when the skunk meets the pet dog!   

Snakes and Birds

Snakes may be poisonous and must be handled with extreme caution.  Birds such as pigeons can be noisy, produce terrible odors, and can spread very serious diseases.

FPCC specializes in removing all these wild animals in a safe and humane manner.

Small Rodents and FPCC

Rats, shrews, and mice can easily get into your home through tiny holes as small as ¼ inch in diameter.  Since these animals chew on wood and other fiber, they can damage your home and furniture.  These animals digest fiber quickly and release large quantities of feces, spreading bacteria and parasites that can contaminate your home.  

Florida Pest Control Center specializes in animal trapping and rodent control services. Rodent-proofing structures is an essential component to effectively deter potential rat, mouse, and other nuisance wildlife infestations.  Our team will inspect the premises to find entry points and holes that allowed them to penetrate your attic or garage.  Whether your home is new or old, there are typically many holes or cracks where these rodents enter.  Our team of professionals will seal all entry points to ensure rodents cannot return and to prevent any other animals from entering.

Florida Pest Control Center offers full inspections, monitoring and proofing.

• Trapping
• Exclusion methods
• Necessary habitat modifications
• Baiting programs
• Decontamination and waste removal for potential Hantavirus contamination sites

Ever seen a tick?  Would you be able to identify a tick if you saw one crawling on your dog?

If you live in Florida and have pets, take a close look at this image and read on to learn how to protect your animals from ticks and the diseases they carry.

Did you know that ticks aren’t insects?  They are arachnids and are related to spiders and scorpions.  Ticks live in warm, wooded or grassy areas and feed on blood – often on the blood of animals that run through the grassy or wooded areas where they live.

Each year, thousands of dogs become infected with tick-transmitted diseases.  You’ve probably heard of the dangerous Lyme Disease, but ticks can also spread other serious illnesses including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, anaplasmosis, babesia, tularemia, and Ehrlichia.  Early symptoms from these diseases are difficult to recognize, and dogs can suffer for weeks or months before the disease is detected.  Sometimes treatment works; sometimes it’s too late.

Tick populations have been on the rise throughout the country.  South Florida’s year-round warmth allows ticks to thrive – in the grass, in shrubs and wooded areas, and on your pet.  Brown ticks and American dog ticks are common in South Florida, but Deer ticks and the Lone Star ticks can also be found in the state.

One of the top recommendations that veterinarians give pet owners to keep pets healthy is to protect them from fleas and ticks.  So, in addition to the monthly flea and tick treatment for your pet, you will want to ensure that your home, your property, and your family are free of ticks.

To keep you and your family safe, follow these tips:

• Keep your yard, trees, and bushes trimmed.
• Remove any debris or clutter around your yard and home.
• Use fences to keep out other wild animals that may carry ticks.
• When you go outside, use tick repellants and wear long, light colored clothing so that you can easily see ticks.
• If you have a pet, vacuum frequently and dispose of the dust and dander in a sealed plastic bag.
• Wash bedding regularly with hot water.
• If you, your family, or your pets have been exposed to grassy and wooded areas, be sure to check for ticks! Check around the ears, underarms, in hair, behind the knees, between the legs, around the waist, and in the belly button.
• If you find a tick, properly remove the tick with a fine-point tweezers, gently pulling it out and saving in a glass jar with a tight lid in case a disease develops. Clean the bite area with a disinfectant.

Contact Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) to treat your yard, bushes, trees, as well as hot spots on your home’s exterior.  We will also recommend changes that will help prevent ticks from invading your property.  FPCC will conduct regular inspections and follow up treatments to ensure your property is protected from ticks, especially during the times they are most active.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, birds are “of a class of (Aves) of warm-blooded vertebrates distinguished by having the body more or less completely covered with feathers and the forelimbs modified as wings.”[1]

While the thought of these beautiful feathery creatures soaring above your backyard sounds nice, the reality is that if you’re a homeowner, you probably won’t want nuisance birds hanging around your property.   Aside from pigeons, sparrows, doves, and starlings are often categorized as nuisance birds

Why should you avoid feeding birds on your property?

Birds often are hosts to ticks, mites and fleas.  If birds are nesting nearby, guess what also can end up in your yard, on your pet, and near your family?

Nuisance birds also can be loud, waking up homeowners while they slumber.  More importantly, birds can carry and transmit diseases, especially in their droppings.  Bird droppings containing bacteria and parasites have a strong, unpleasant odor.  In addition, the acidic droppings can ruin home and landscape aesthetics and cause serious illness in humans and pets.  Bird droppings are highly corrosive and can damage plants, roofs, metal pipes, and other building materials.  Large quantities of bird droppings can also clog drains, creating a problem during heavy rains in Florida.  Finally, birds roosting in warehouses or commercial buildings can damage inventory and contaminate food products.

What can you do to avoid having birds roost on your property?

The first step is to remove the birds from your property, closely followed by step two which involves disinfecting the entire area where the birds were roosting.  The third step is to implement a system of tactical deterrents designed to keep birds away.

Should you “try it at home?”

It’s probably not a great idea to “try it at home” unless you have significant experience working with birds.  Birds can become aggressive, especially when you are near their nesting area.  By going near the nest area, you are putting yourself at risk for transmission of parasitic and bacterial illness.

The best advice is to “let the professionals handle it.”  Pest control technicians are well-versed in the remove of birds and nests.

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) provides several safe and effective ways to control nuisance birds in Florida homes, neighborhoods, and commercial and industrial properties.

After inspecting your property, we can advise you on the best way to protect you, your family, and your pets from:

• the spread of bird and bird dropping-related diseases.
• potential fire hazards caused by bird nest locations in vents and other dangerous. Locations.
• further damage to plants, sidewalks, roofs, and other building materials.

Our highly trained experts work with you to design an effective treatment plan using humane techniques to:

1. Safely remove birds.
2. Properly disinfect the area.
3. Put deterrents in place so birds won’t return.

How do we safely and humanely remove birds and their nests?

We use several safe, budget-friendly techniques including:

• Bird netting to prevent birds from nesting in certain locations.
• Visual and audio scare tactics designed to irritate, scare, and repel birds.
• Bird deterrents such as spikes to prevent birds from roosting.
• Harmless shocks to modify bird behavior.
• Bird birth control treatments to control large bird populations in urban areas.

Many species of birds are beautiful to watch as they fly in flocks, communicating via bird calls and songs. However, some species of birds in South Florida, most notably pigeons, can be a nuisance.

Pigeons often roost in buildings, attics, and roofs, their droppings are highly corrosive and frequently damage roofs, air conditioning units, metal pipes, gutters, and other building materials. The droppings can ruin vegetation, gardens, and vehicles parked nearby. Moreover, when parasites and bacteria found in pigeon droppings can cause a number of very serious illnesses. In addition, pigeon droppings are not only unsightly and produce a foul odor, but they also cause slip and fall accidents along sidewalks, driveways and parking lots near roosting areas.

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) provides a variety of effective, safe, humane ways to control nuisance birds in Florida homes, neighborhoods, and commercial and industrial properties. Our highly trained experts work with you to design an effective treatment plan using one or multiple of our safe, humane, tools and techniques.

Pigeon netting is a very safe treatment option that allows our experts to force pigeons to leave your location in search of nesting and roosting sites. Bird netting system is an economical method that is ideal for commercial and industrial areas with high bird activity.

Another safe and effective product we use is harmless shock. Designed to modify pigeon behavior, our BirdShock Flex Track System provides an alert to the bird that the current location is highly undesirable. The birds quickly leave in search of a new location.

Since pigeons seek out flat surfaces to nest and roost, we encourage our clients to make it difficult for pigeons to find flat surfaces at their location. Bird deterrents such as bird spikes are a safe and effective way to prevent birds from finding flat areas to roost or nest. Spikes can be installed along roofs, gutters, girders, ledges, and any other potential nesting location.

We also utilize a bird birth control treatment known as OvoControl to contain flocks in very large areas. The OvoControl bait interferes with reproduction, causing the pigeon population to decline through attrition.

In addition to these treatment options, we work with our clients to create a plan that will make your location less desirable for birds. To begin, it’s essential that large areas such as public parks are cleaned up regularly to minimize food scraps and crumbs that attract pigeons and other nuisance animals.

In parks and neighborhoods, we urge our clients to educate individuals to avoid feeding pigeons. We recommend that they only feed birds in above-ground birdfeeders, cleaning up excess food that lands on the ground in order to avoid attracting nuisance animals.
Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) takes a humanitarian approach to bird control. Whether your problem is pigeons or any other type of bird, we will customize a solution to remove the birds without harming them.

Termites are one of the oldest insects, dating back over 200 million years.  Over that time, 2600 species of termites have eaten their way through large concentrations of cellulose.  Many termite species prefer warm weather and moist conditions, so it’s not surprising that termites are plentiful in South Florida.

Wondering if you have termites?

1. Check your doorways, door frames, walls, and baseboards for termite wings by clicking here.
2. Examine the ground near the house for tube-shaped mud tunnels.
3. Inspect doors, baseboards and frames for tiny holes or bubbles.
4. Determine if they are flying ants or termites by reading this.

What type of termites?

If you saw mud tubes in your home examination, you may have Subterranean or Formosan Termites.  Both consume cellulose fiber and can damage insulation, paper, and wood structures.  While there are other species of termites, the Formosan Termites are the most aggressive.  Learn more here.

What if you’ve only seen a few wings?

If you’ve only seen a small clue that leads you to believe you may have a small number of termites, think again.  Termites live in colonies ranging from hundreds to many thousands.  If you see a few wings or a couple of tube-shaped mud tunnels, you can bet there are more – many more.

What are the best home treatments for termites?

Regrettably, home treatments using topical sprays don’t work.  Why?  They don’t reach far enough to effectively target the colonies deep in walls or wood structures.

When is it time to call a pest control service?

If you suspect you may have termites or have any evidence that there are termites, it’s time to call in the professionals.  Allow the pest control professionals at Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) to evaluate your home and provide a free estimate – so that you can terminate the termites before they destroy your home.  

Do you treat termites with “Old School” Tenting?

Some pest control companies use old methods that involve tenting the home for several days, requiring that you, your family and your pets evacuate.  The tenting method is invasive and costly, and we recommend against it.

Terminate the Termites with Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC)

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) is the termite terminator, the Florida expert in treating all types of termites.  FPCC professionals analyze and evaluate each infestation to determine the most effective treatment.

Using the most advanced technologies to safely eliminate termites, FPCC pest control may recommend heat treatment, foam termicide through pumps, liquid treatment through soil rods and injections, ground barriers, or a combination of these.

Heat Treatment

The one-service heat treatment strategy uses forced hot air technology to quickly eradicate termite colonies.  Using specialized radiators and infrared sensors, we raise the ambient room temperature, remove moisture, and circulate heated air at specific temperatures.  The heat kills the colonies, leaving no residue nor chemicals.

Liquid and Foam Treatment

Using the most advanced technologies to safely eliminate termites, FPCC pest control professionals treat infestations using a combination of liquid and foam termicides through pumps, injections, bait, and soil rods.

Ground Barriers

FPCC uses innovative technology to create a non-repellent barrier between your building and the ground, effectively preventing new termites from entering to the ground for the moisture they need to survive.

The late spring termite swarming season has come to an end. The termite swarmers have found new locations for their colonies in structures where cellulose is plentiful. As new colonies grows, they will destroy the surrounding wood and fiber structures.

Do you have termites?
Check around your home, paying special attention to doorways, door frames, baseboards, walls and wood furniture in your home. Be on alert for classic termite wings, tube-shaped mud tunnels in the ground or near the house, portions of the wall hollowed out, tiny holes or a “bubbled” look on doors, frames or baseboards.

Professional Termite Treatment
Home treatment with topical sprays just aren’t effective since they don’t reach the colonies embedded in structures. While you wait for topical sprays to work, termites continue attacking the wood and fiber in their path.

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) is the Florida expert in treating all species of termites, using the most advanced technologies to safely eliminate termites. Our knowledgeable staff will assess your termite situation and discuss the optimal treatment options for your termite infestation.

Innovative No-Tent Heat Treatment
Using the newest and safest treatments available, FPCC can effectively treat termites in a matter of hours – without the need for tenting your home. Our treatments utilize a combination of pumps, injections, bait, soil rods, and forced heat.

One of our most innovative and effective approaches to eradicate termite colonies is using heat treatment. This one-service treatment strategy uses forced hot air technology to quickly eradicate termite colonies. Specialized radiators raise the ambient room temperature and remove moisture while the heated air is recirculated using dedicated fans. Infrared sensors placed in strategic locations allow our technicians to monitor and control the environment, maintaining specific temperatures to eliminate termites. Property owners and managers rave about our heat treatment because:

• The heat treatment is very effective – it kills adult insects, their young, and their eggs.
• Heat treatment is a one-service treatment strategy.
• There is no residue or chemicals that can harm pets.
• Heat can reach tiny, often overlooked crevices where termites may hide.
• The treatment won’t damage your home or furniture.

“Old School” Tenting
Other pest control companies use older methods that involve tenting the home for several days, requiring that you, your family and your pets evacuate during this time and find a hotel or another place to stay. The tenting method is invasive, intrusive, and expensive.

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC)
The variety of innovative treatments we use not only eliminate termites rapidly without the need for tenting, but they also create a barrier between your building and the ground, effectively preventing new termites from entering to the ground for the moisture they need to survive.

It’s that time of year. School is coming to an end, summer plans are in gear, and subterranean termites are swarming.

Yes, these termites, commonly found in South Florida, swarm in the spring. And if you’re not familiar with swarming, stay tuned for a quick overview!

Swarming Season

Swarming is the process by which termites locate a new home near an available food source and begin a new colony. During swarming season in late spring, specific termites known as “swarmers” leave their colony in search of an ideal location for their next colony. The “swarmers” don’t cause damage to your home or other structures because they don’t have the ability to chew wood or fiber. But, they pave the way for their fellow termites to colonize and begin destruction of surrounding materials. Although disconcerting to humans, this is all part of the natural termite life cycle that allows termites to reproduce.

Subterranean Termites

The subterranean termite typically colonizes underground, creating mud tubes that protect them from predators. Mud tubes may be evident on the side of buildings or wood structures. During swarming season, thousands of termites fly through mud tubes seeking out new homes, typically attracted by large concentrations of available cellulose. Subterranean termites also can cause damage to anything made of fiber as well as insulation, paper, and infiltration systems.

Formosan Termites

Known as “super termites”, the subterranean Formosan Termites are the most aggressive species of termites. Like other subterranean species including Eastern Subterranean Termites, Formosan Termites colonize underground and create mud tubes. But, these termites consume cellulose and fiber so quickly that a colony can destroy the structure of a building in months. Significant termite damage to a home after only a few months of an infestation may require repairs upwards of $50,000.

Flying Ants or Termites?

Swarming termites build a colony quickly! So, if you see something that resembles flying ants, you may have found the beginning of a termite colony. Wondering if they are indeed flying ants or termites?

Take a close look – if the antennae are straight, wings are the same length, and they have a relatively straight body, they’re probably termites. If you think you may have termites, you need to act fast and potentially stop an infestation. The faster you can control the activity, the less damage you will have.

Home Treatments

Unfortunately, home treatments with topical sprays just cannot reach the colonies that are typically embedded in the building structure. Consequently, these treatments will allow the termites to continue attacking the wood and fiber in their path.
Whether they are Formosa Termites, Eastern Subterranean Termites or any other termite species, if you find “ants with wings”, it’s time to call in the professionals before the termites destroy your home or building.

Professional Termite Elimination

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) is the Florida expert in treating Formosan and Eastern Subterranean Termites, using the most advanced technologies to safely eliminate termites. The process of termite removal requires pest control professionals – technicians who are knowledgeable about termite behavior patterns, their food sources, breeding, and preferred habitats. Using this knowledge, we effectively treat the ground-based infestation using pumps, injections, bait, and soil rods. In addition, our newest subterranean termite truck is equipped with dual pumps and hoses to allow us to combine the strength of both liquid and foam termiticide treatments.

We also use innovative treatments to create a non-repellent barrier between your building and the ground, effectively preventing new termites from entering to the ground for the moisture they need to survive. Without blend of powerful treatments, termite infestations will be rapidly eradicated.

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) employs comprehensive, state-of-the art technologies, chemical, and non-chemical treatments to eliminate pest problems in residential homes, businesses, hospitals, medical facilities, group homes, and apartment and condominium buildings.

Finding ants in your kitchen, along the baseboards, and in the bathroom?

If you are finding even one ant in your bathroom, you can expect to find more. When ants move throughout your home, they leave tracks that are invisible to humans but ring loud and clear to their ant species.

Did you know that there are over 15 different ant species in Florida? Each of these species can be considered a household nuisance, but some ant species create more serious problems than others. Fire and red ants can deliver a painful sting to humans – and especially to young children playing outside in the yard. Carpenter ants are often found in decaying wood. These ants can wreak havoc in wood structures and even damage the structure of your home. It’s important to treat these ant colonies quickly before they compromise the integrity of wood structures.

Ants May Start Outside…
Most ant colonies start outside, but are driven indoors by their attraction to sugar, water, proteins, oils, and fragrances. It’s not uncommon to find several ant species in bathrooms, the nursery, or wherever scented products are used. Odorous ants and sugar ants are typically found in the kitchen and bathrooms, searching for water or food. Additionally, some species of ants invade air conditioning units.

Summertime draws even more ants, and home infestations can be traced to growing colonies ranging from dozens to millions of ants, originating outside your home.

As you can probably imagine, homes, offices, hospitals, and other commercial buildings are not limited to only one species of ants. You could have multiple ant species enjoying a fiesta in the underlying structure and inside your home. Ants don’t just invade homes; they infest businesses and wreak havoc in restaurants, offices and hotels.

While sweeping, mopping, and cleaning will help reduce the number of ants in your home, once they’ve made their way into your home, there are plenty more that will continue coming back. Keeping your bushes trimmed and your doors and windows caulked helps, as does eliminating standing water near your home. However, when you feel that the ants have stayed past curfew, it’s time to contact a reputable pest control service to inspect and remove the ants.

Ant Removal Services
The process of ant control and ant removal requires pest control professionals – technicians who are knowledgeable about ant behavior patterns, their food sources, breeding, and preferred habitats. Once our ant infestation control professionals identify the ant species, they can locate their nesting area to treat the ants quickly and effectively. Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) employs comprehensive, state-of-the art technologies, chemical, and non-chemical treatments to eliminate pest problems in residential homes, businesses, hospitals, medical facilities, group homes, and apartment and condominium buildings.

Mosquitoes cause problems for everyone in their yards each year. They’re not only nuisances but also spreaders of various diseases such as the Zika virus. They silently land on both humans and animals, plunging their proboscis into the skin and draining enough blood to fill their bellies. If you’re the victim of a mosquito infestation, you can do a few things to stop them from taking over your yard.

4 Ways to Stop Mosquito Infestations

Remove any stagnant water from your yard.

Female mosquitoes are attracted to and lay their eggs in water. If you have water in a birdbath, a dog dish or a flowerpot, you’re increasing the risk of mosquito infestations. It’s best to drain any water from the objects in your yard to put an end to mosquito breeding sites.

Cut back the shrubs and weeds.

Mosquitoes hunt for food in the morning and evening. When they’re resting during the heat of the day, they spend their time on the leaves of shrubs and weeds. They may also rest on overgrown grasses in your yard. Maintaining your lawn will eliminate their resting spots and send them somewhere else.

Pick up the trash around your property.

Clutter and trash attract pests of all types, including mosquitoes. They can find water in old cans or crumpled plastic bags and use these sites to breed. You should remove any trash and clutter from your property to reduce the mosquito population.

Have a professional treat the yard.

Professional pest control technicians use the most effective treatments for mosquitoes. They know where to spray and how to treat infestations at the source. Professional technicians will also identify any troublesome spots in your yard and help you to keep mosquitoes away during the peak season.

Get Rid of Mosquitoes for Good

If mosquitoes continue to infiltrate your yard, seek assistance from the professionals. Florida Pest Control Center can help to kill mosquitoes on your property and to stop them from congregating on bushes, trees and the grass. Taking preventative steps and working with professional pest control technicians will give you a mosquito-free yard throughout the year.
