Pest Control in Florida

Florida is home to more termite species capable of damaging structures than any other state, according to research from University of Florida IFAS Extension, including native Eastern and Formosan subterranean termites, the more recently established Asian subterranean termite, and several drywood termite species that infest above ground wood rather than nesting in soil. Because most of the state never experiences a true winter, these termites, along with cockroaches, mosquitoes, and ants, stay active on a nearly year round schedule instead of going dormant the way they would farther north, which is part of why routine pest inspections are so common in Florida real estate transactions. The state's warmth and humidity also support large populations of the American cockroach, often called the palmetto bug locally, an insect that thrives outdoors in mulch and landscaping before finding its way inside. That combination of species diversity and a growing season that barely pauses means pest pressure in Florida tends to build steadily rather than spike and fall the way it does in colder states.
