There are several species of termites found in South Florida. It is important to identify the species of termites present in your area to determine the best course of action for prevention and treatment. Homeowners and businesses alike should consult with a licensed pest control professional to determine the most effective treatment options for their specific situation. Some of the most common species include:       

Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites are a common problem in South Florida, including Broward and Palm Beach counties. These termites live underground and can cause extensive damage to wooden structures, such as homes and buildings.

The most common subterranean termite species found in South Florida is the Formosan termite. These termites are known for their ability to consume wood at a rapid rate and can cause significant damage to structures in a short period of time. Other species found in the area include the Eastern subterranean termite and the West Indian drywood termite.

To prevent infestations, it is important to keep an eye out for signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes or discarded wings, and to have regular inspections conducted by a licensed pest control professional. Treatment options include baiting systems, liquid treatments, and fumigation.

It is also important to note that homeowners insurance typically does not cover termite damage, so it is important to take preventative measures to avoid costly repairs.

Drywood Termites

Drywood termites are also found in South Florida, including Broward and Palm Beach counties. Unlike subterranean termites, drywood termites live and feed exclusively on dry, sound wood above ground. These termites can cause significant damage to wooden structures, furniture, and other items made of wood.

The most common drywood termite species found in South Florida is the West Indian drywood termite. These termites are known for their ability to establish new colonies quickly and can be difficult to detect until significant damage has already occurred.

To prevent infestations, it is important to seal all cracks and crevices in the exterior of your home or building and to inspect and seal any openings around utility lines and pipes. It is also important to avoid storing firewood, lumber, or other wooden materials near the home or building.

Treatment options for drywood termites include localized treatments, such as heat or cold treatments, and fumigation. Homeowners should consult with a licensed pest control professional to determine the best treatment option for their specific situation.

Again, it is important to note that homeowners insurance typically does not cover termite damage, so preventative measures should be taken to avoid costly repairs. Regular inspections by a licensed pest control professional are also recommended to detect and address any termite activity early on.

Other Termite Species

In addition to these two main species, South Florida is also home to these other species of termites:

• Eastern subterranean termites (Reticulitermes flavipes) – These termites are native to the eastern United States and are a common pest in South Florida. They live underground and feed on wood and other cellulose materials.

• Powderpost termites (Cryptotermes spp.) – These termites are a common pest in South Florida and are known for their ability to infest hardwoods and bamboo.

• Asian subterranean termites (Coptotermes gestroi) – These termites are native to Southeast Asia and are a common pest in South Florida. They live underground and feed on wood and other cellulose materials.

In South Florida, termite season typically starts in early spring (around March) and can last through the summer and into the fall. This is when the weather is warm and humid, which creates ideal conditions for termite swarms to form.

During termite season, winged termites emerge from their nests and swarm in search of new places to establish colonies. Homeowners and property owners should be especially vigilant during this time, as termite infestations can cause significant damage to buildings and other structures. It is recommended that homeowners and property owners have their properties inspected regularly by a licensed pest control professional to detect and treat any termite infestations early on. Additionally, taking preventative measures such as removing wood debris from around the home and ensuring proper drainage can help reduce the likelihood of a termite infestation.

At Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC), our specialty isin 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.

Florida is a terrific home for termites.  Although no one has ever been happy about having termites present in their home – they are quite common throughout South Florida. At Florida Pest Control Center our team of experienced pest control technicians know all too well about these damaging insects.  Here we take a look at 10 interesting facts about termites.  

• Termites do not actually sleep.  They are awake 24/7 eating, burrowing, and building nests.
• Termites take care of their young as a group, all staying together.
• Once termites have nested in their new home, they will shed their wings.
• Termites do not have functional eyes except for the king and queen termites.  Most termites are blind and communicate through vibrations and pheromones.
• Termites swarm in order to mate and start new colonies.
• The main predator for termites is ants. 
• Termite queens can lay up to 30,000 eggs a day.  That can be 11 million eggs in one year.
• The queen termite queen live longer than any other insect – up to 30 to 50 years.
• There are two main types of termites – subterranean termites and drywood termites. Each type requires a different method of extermination.
• Termites are expensive – causing approximately $5 billion in damages every year in the U.S. alone.

If you suspect any kind of termite infestation, contact our team of licensed pest control professionals to conduct an inspection and develop an effective action plan for removal.  Termite colonies can grow exponentially so it is vital that you act fast.

Not getting a restful sleep?  Think you may have bed beds in your home?  Bed bugs can be easily seen with the naked eye but may be difficult to spot in a room.  They are tiny, brown or red parasitic insects that feed on your blood and invade your personal space. They hide in the beds, the mattress itself, box springs, bed frames, and headboards. If you think your home might be infested with bed bugs, then you need to seek professional bed bug treatment.

Bed Bugs Can Spread

South Florida is a travel destination and that means the bugs travel too.  Today, bed bugs have become more common issue in hotels and even five-star hotels are having problems with bed bugs.  Be sure to keep these pesky bugs out of your home after you have traveled or have had out of town guests visit your home.

Because bed bugs do not fly as they typically transport by crawling or being carried from one location to another. Bed bugs as well as their eggs often hitchhike in a traveler’s suitcase or clothing.

Common signs that you may have bed bugs include the following:

• Spotting blood on your bed
• Finding insect shells
• Seeing small, flat bugs

Bed bugs can be found worldwide and are not a reflection of the cleanliness of any type of property. For South Florida commercial property owners, they are just another pest to manage. These types of bugs can invade many different types of commercial properties, and they are also very common in apartment complexes with multiple units.  At Florida Pest Control Center, our experts can make sure your commercial property stays bed bug free.  We frequently treat the following types of properties:   

• Hotels
• Condos and Townhomes
• Group Homes
• Hospitals
• Medical Facilities
• Shelters
• Single Family Homes
• Damage, Dangers of Bed Bugs

If a building has cracks in the walls, the bed bugs may enter one of the units and spread to other parts of the facility. Bed bugs can also hitch a ride on people and then spread throughout a commercial property. This can compromise the health of the residents of the property. Many apartments are adjacent to commercial structures, and this is a common method the bed bugs use to enter the residential parts of the building. Bed bugs can also enter office buildings as well. They may cling to furniture and other items during a move from one place to another. Once inside the premises, they can easily move around and search for people to bite.

Controlling Bed Bugs

After they enter the building, they may build nests in dark, moist areas. After night falls, they may come out to feast on unaware humans. Some people will wake up with sores or rashes on their skin. These areas may itch severely, and some people will even have allergic reactions. Instead of guessing whether you have a pest infestation, you can always contact The Bed Bug Center, and let our experts take care of the rest. We are proud to offer out bed bug control services to Broward County, Ft. Lauderdale, Plantation, Dania Beach, and the surrounding cities and towns. Call us today for a free bed bug control quote.

We inspect the entire premises to ensure that you can remain free of the fear of bites from these pests.

However, sometime tent fumigation is the only solution for treating larger infestations to prevent further damage. The termite control experts at Florida Pest Control Center are continuously trained on the laws and procedures for safe and effective fumigation services for termites affecting the South Florida area.

Our team has extensive experience and have provided tent fumigation for homes, businesses, yachts, boats, hotels, condo buildings, apartment complexes and more. When it comes to termite tenting, we’ve seen it all and we can handle it all.

The Fall season is upon us, and that means rodents are beginning to seek shelter inside accessible homes and properties looking for warmer areas and a food source.  It is very hard to miss a rather large rodent infestation, but they can begin small and that is the ideal time to act. At Florida Pest Control Center, we have the following recommendations to keep a lookout for and to prepare for these little critters:

Six Signs of a Rodent Infestation:

Droppings – these are the most common and easily seen signs of an infestation. Mice droppings are usually no more than ¼” in length and are small, dark brown, with pointed ends. Rat droppings can be anywhere between ¾” and ½” long and vary in shape depending on the type of rat. It is strongly recommended to use gloves and a mask when cleaning up rodent droppings.

Gnaw Marks – noticing small bite or chew marks on wood, cardboard, and other materials is another indicator of a rodent infestation as mice and rats of all sizes are known to gnaw on anything from baseboards to wires.

Track Marks – tiny footprints are another obvious sign of infestation. These typically appear up high where dust collects, and tracks would be identifiable.

Scratch Marks and Noises – marks and noises are often located inside walls and in attics and ceilings.

Nests – notice clusters of debris or garbage anywhere?  Rodents use materials such as shredded paper, fabric, or dried plant matter to make their nests. If nests are found and there are also other signs of current presence (droppings, gnawing or odor), there is a great chance it is an infestation.

Foul Odor – smell something odd?  Odors from a rodent will grow stronger as an infestation worsens – especially if a rodent dies inside a dwelling.  This is a time to let the professionals handle matters as they can be very hazardous.

If you do find the telltale rat or mouse droppings and you do not want to deal with the kill vs. trap-and-release dilemma —do not hesitate to call a professional. At Florida Pest Control Center we have specially trained and licensed pest control professionals that can provide the detection of the infestations, the treatment, as well as the prevention and extermination methods needed to eliminate these pests for good. The longer the rodents are in your house, the more droppings (that may carry disease), and the more damage they will likely do.

Let the professionals deal with the rodents for you.  Call us today at 954-945-5050

Florida Pest Control Center (FPCC) is a premier pest control company in South Florida that provides complete pest control services and is fully licensed and insured.

Throughout South Florida, there are thousands of pest control companies. This means that if you spotted unwanted guests in your home, there won’t be a lack of options for extermination. But not all pest control companies are alike. 

Here are the top things to look for when trying to select the best pest control company.

Years of Quality Service

It is difficult to stay in business for very long if the customer service is very poor.  The longer a local pest control company has been around, the better. You can check out customer reviews and the BBB to see if a business does indeed have a good reputation.  Not only do years of experience mean a greater chance of quality pest control service, but it also means things will go smoothly and time will not be wasted.

Wide Range of Services

A quality pest control company must know how to identify various pests and the right methods to exterminate them. If a business doesn’t have a wide range of services, you should consider using another company that can handle all the pest issues.  Full services such as tent fumigation, termite treatment, mosquito control, and more should be offered.

Free Inspections

It is best to get things checked before infestations arise.  A thorough inspection is needed to determine the extent of damage and the proper solution.

Performance

Any worthy pest control company will have enough confidence to stand behind the work they do.  Reputable pest control companies have your best interest at heart and make sure all pests are gone for good on the first go.

At Florida Pest Control Center, we have all the areas covered for you.  No need to look any further for your pest control services – give us a call today at (954) 945-5050
