Pest control in Miami
Miami-Dade County's Mosquito Control and Habitat Management Division handles mosquitoes countywide, from its office at 8901 NW 58 Street. Reports go online or through 311 and the 311 Direct app. The county's fact sheet describes a surveillance network of more than 160 traps, and its April 2024 release counts "320+ trap sites" and more than 50 mosquito species present all year. Those counts come from two different documents. Miami-Dade carried a mosquito-borne illness alert in the health department's week 41 arbovirus table, whose data stop at October 17, 2026.
For 2026 the county row lists 9 dengue cases acquired locally and 200 tied to travel, 54 travel-associated chikungunya cases with 1 local case in August, and 5 travel-associated malaria cases. It's a running count. Sanitary nuisances are among the programs at the county health department's environmental health line, 305-623-3500. Termites have a Miami history. UF/IFAS records the Asian subterranean termite's first collection in the continental United States here, in 1996.
A passage written in the 2000s names Broward and Dade as the only known counties where it and the Formosan termite had both become established. Its 2024 Formosan sheet places that species throughout Florida, mostly in urban areas. Florida has no city or county pest control license, so the license a termite company holds is the state one from FDACS. Miami's housing has a 1979 median year built in ACS estimates.
What pest control costs near Miami
Because no one has sent us a quote from Miami, 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 Miami
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.
