Call (844) 924-1337University of Florida IFAS Extension research notes that Florida has an unusually wide range of structure-damaging termite species. The list includes native Eastern subterranean termites, Formosan subterranean termites, the more recently established Asian subterranean termite, and several drywood termites that can infest wood above ground without needing soil contact.
Florida's warmth and humidity also keep termites, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and ants active through much of the year. American cockroaches, often called palmetto bugs locally, can build up in mulch, landscaping, and damp exterior areas before moving indoors. Because winter does not create the same hard pause seen in colder states, pest pressure can build steadily across the year rather than appearing only in short seasonal bursts.
Florida licensing is divided through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Structural Pest Control Act. Certified operators may hold categories for general household pest and rodent control, lawn and ornamental work, termite and wood-destroying-organism control, and fumigation. A general household credential does not automatically cover termite work. The existing page research also notes certified operator requirements, minimum liability insurance, a $300 business license fee, and $300 per category exam.
Wildlife-related services may follow different rules. Services such as Bat Removal, Raccoon Removal, Squirrel Removal, Snake Removal, Pigeon & Bird Control, and Wildlife Removal generally sit outside FDACS structural pest licensing and may involve Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rules. The existing research specifically notes bat exclusion permit requirements during spring and summer maternity season, plus FDACS's narrower Limited Commercial Wildlife Management certification for trapping rats and mice in, on, or under a structure.
