Hillsborough stayed on alert in the week 41 statewide numbers (to October 17, 2026): 346 dengue cases acquired locally, 18 linked to travel, and 24 sentinel chickens positive for West Nile so far in 2026. For environmental public health, the county health department's number is 813-307-8059. ACS data give Riverview a 2006 median year built, and only 7.5% of its housing predates 1980. New homes come with a specific FDACS rule.
Termite prevention on a house under construction requires the company to get an FDACS permit, and the owner's warranty runs a year or longer from treatment. UF/IFAS puts the Formosan subterranean termite throughout Florida, mostly in densely populated urban areas. Three in four homes (75.7%) are owner-occupied, with a median value of $384,200, and the census population is 107,776.
What pest control costs near Riverview

Licensing and rules for pest control in Riverview
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.
