Pest control in Hialeah
Hialeah residents report mosquitoes to the County 311 Contact Center, since mosquito control is a countywide Miami-Dade service. An undated county fact sheet says inspectors answer those requests and describes larviciding, truck spraying and aerial spraying when needed. According to an April 2024 county release, upward of 50 mosquito species live here year-round. When the state counted cases for week 41, ending October 17, 2026, Miami-Dade was on alert for mosquito-borne illness.
This year's tally for the county shows nine dengue cases picked up locally, 200 picked up while traveling, and one chikungunya case acquired at home in August. Each weekly report adds to those numbers. For sanitary nuisances, the county health department's environmental health line is 305-623-3500. Termite work has its own license. Of Florida's four operator certificate types (fumigation; general household; lawn and ornamental; termites and other wood-destroying organisms), termite work has its own.
Someone certified in one can't work in another without that certificate too. UF/IFAS places Formosan termites throughout Florida, mostly in urban areas, and records the Asian subterranean termite's first continental United States collection in nearby Miami in 1996 (from text written in the 2000s). In Hialeah, 1975 is the median year built (ACS), 54.1% of units date from 1950 to 1979, and 46.6% of homes are owner-occupied.
What pest control costs near Hialeah
Because no one has sent us a quote from Hialeah, there's no price for the city itself. The Florida page lists the estimates with what pest control workers are paid ($22.15 an hour in the BLS wage data, which is pay, not price) and the state license fees. How we estimate costs.
Licensing and rules for pest control in Hialeah
Florida cities don't license pest control companies. FDACS licenses the business at each location, its certified operator and its employees, and state law reserves pest control and pesticide rules to the state, though a city or county may require a local business tax receipt, which needs the FDACS license first. Ask for the company's FDACS license number before anyone treats the house.
