Pest control in St. Augustine
Building applications in St. Augustine must go through the online Permit Portal at https://gis.citystaug.com/COSAPermits/login, including pest-damage construction needing approval. An owner-builder's affidavit also requires direct onsite supervision of construction. That responsibility applies to you when you're the owner-builder for the repair project. For a real estate transaction, Florida requires written inspection findings on its prescribed wood-destroying-organism report when the inspection carries a fee or the customer requests a report. It must name organisms found and visible damage, and distinguish inaccessible areas from accessible areas the inspector did not examine.
Use those findings when asking what repairs are proposed. For inspection inquiries about city building work, email buildinginspection@citystaug.com. Planning & Building answers at 904-825-1065. Weekday hours: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
What pest control costs near St. Augustine

Licensing and rules for pest control in St. Augustine
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.
