Lee wasn't on the county list for locally acquired dengue either. Rats and mice are a licensing question of their own. Trapping them in, on or under a building takes the FDACS Limited Wildlife Management Certificate, a credential for nonchemical methods like traps and exclusion. Wildlife outside that is FWC's territory. FWC says it doesn't license wildlife trappers, and a trapper needs the property owner's consent before taking nuisance wildlife from private land.
FWC wants each trap or snare looked at no less than once in 24 hours. ACS numbers for Lehigh Acres: 2003 median year built, 70.0% owner-occupied, $292,400 median owner value. The census counts 127,391 residents here, and 18.3% of their homes were built before 1980.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Lehigh Acres
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.
