What we treat

Exterminator Services We Offer in Davie

Barn, Pasture and House: Pest Work on Davie Properties

Red imported fire ants

Fire Ant Control in Davie

On pasture and lawn alike, the red imported fire ant defends its mound by stinging whatever disturbs it. UF cites estimates of up to 97,000 new queens per acre of infested land in a year, so an untreated field restocks itself. Colonies also settle under slabs and inside electrical equipment and utility housings. Baits that foraging workers haul back to the nest can be broadcast over open ground or sprinkled around single mounds.

Florida woods cockroaches

Cockroach Control in Davie

The slow, dark, wingless roach in a shed or woodpile is usually the Florida woods cockroach, Eurycotis floridana, one of several insects people call a palmetto bug. UF finds it in storage areas, greenhouses and the shelter boxes built over water pumps, and says it mostly gets indoors by riding in on firewood. It seldom breeds indoors, but its oily, odorous defensive spray irritates skin and eyes, so do not handle it.

Roof rats

Rodent Control in Davie

Stored grain and seed draw roof rats, which UF/IFAS Extension says eat grains, seeds, fruit and pet food. They are agile climbers found mostly in trees and the upper parts of buildings, so look in lofts and along rafters before the floor. Keep feed in closed containers, sweep up spills, and screen the gaps where pipes and wires enter. Extension puts snap traps first and rodenticide last, since poisons can harm native wildlife.

Subterranean termites

Subterranean Termite Control in Davie

Formosan and Asian subterranean termites both occur in Broward County, and the scientists who track them work in Davie. UF's termite team at the research center identifies samples at no cost and adds each record to a public termite distribution map. Its prevention keys apply to barns and sheds as much as houses: limit moisture, limit food such as firewood stacked against a building, and keep the base of every wall open to inspection.

Local advice

Horse flies, deer flies and yellow flies in Davie

Biting flies come with livestock. UF notes that only the females of horse flies, deer flies and yellow flies bite, and that on animals they go for the belly, legs and neck. They wait in shade under trees and bushes and chase dark, moving objects, with one peak in the three hours after sunrise and another before sunset. Larvae develop in wet soil and water, far from any barn spray.

Seasonal Pest Control in Davie

  1. Warm, dry winter

    Winters are warm, and the drier weather is the time for outdoor cleanup: restack firewood away from buildings, clear leaf litter where woods cockroaches shelter, and repair feed room doors before rats find them. Asian subterranean termites begin their dusk flights in February.

  2. Spring, April to June

    Formosan termites swarm after sunset, most heavily in May, and lights on a barn or porch will pull them in. Adult horse flies and deer flies start to appear in May. Fire ants take their mating flights after warm rain, and the newly mated queens dig in along driveway and sidewalk edges.

  3. Hot, humid summer into early fall

    This is peak season for biting flies, which UF says are most often met in hot summer and early fall and stay active through September. Summer rain also refills troughs, buckets and tarps, so dump or scrub standing water weekly. Broward County Mosquito Control inspects on request through 311.

Davie Pest Control FAQ

Looking for pest control near you in Davie? Call (512) 561-7451 or request a free estimate.

What is the best way to treat fire ants in a Davie horse pasture?

Treat the whole area, not only the mounds you can see. UF describes two ways to use fire ant bait: spread across open ground, or sprinkled around a single mound so workers collect it and feed the colony. Always follow the product label on land where animals graze.

Where can I get a termite identified in Davie?

Through the University of Florida research center on College Avenue. Its termite identification team accepts mailed samples from anywhere in Florida at no cost; soldiers or winged termites sealed in a small vial are the most useful. The answer tells you which of the state's 20 established species you have, and that matters because treatments differ by species.

Do horse flies bite people in Davie?

Yes. Female horse flies, deer flies and yellow flies feed on blood and will bite people as well as horses and cattle. Adults are out from May through September, mostly in daylight, and they are drawn to dark, moving shapes. Long sleeves, long pants and a DEET repellent help on the trail.

What will pest service cost on my Davie property?

Plans start at $57. A house on a standard lot costs differently from a property with a barn, paddock and feed room, so the first estimate is free. Tell us about the buildings and animals at (512) 561-7451, and an explained plan comes before anything is booked.

Do you treat barns and stables in Davie?

Yes. We service barns, tack rooms, feed storage and other outbuildings, and any product we use has to be labeled for land where animals graze or live. Eco-friendly products are used. Feed rooms get particular attention. Send us the layout of the property and a free estimate follows.

Will you inspect a Davie horse property before I buy it?

Yes. Our inspection covers the house and can include barns and sheds, which face the same termite and moisture questions as any building. Everyone in the deal then sees one set of findings before closing. Ask for the free estimate online to arrange it.

How do I schedule service on a Davie lot?

Tell us about the house, barn and animals, by phone at (512) 561-7451 or in an online estimate request, and a plan from $57 follows. When you are ready, schedule service online and pick a visit time. Treatments are planned around your horses and dogs, with eco-friendly products.

Davie, Florida

Why Davie Is a Hotspot for Pests

Davie is a town, not a city, and horseback riding is still common on its trails. Barns, paddocks and outbuildings add hiding places for pests that an ordinary subdivision lot does not have.

Davie became a town on November 16, 1925, on swampland the state had reclaimed. Businessman Robert Parsell Davie bought 44 square miles of it to develop farms, and settlers renamed their town, first called Zona, after him. The 2020 census lists 105,691 residents, the most of any Florida town. Bergeron Rodeo Grounds, Flamingo Gardens and the Old Davie School are among its landmarks.

The town keeps equestrian trails with unpaved paths for riders, and the oldest campsites found at Pine Island Ridge date back 5,000 to 7,000 years. Florida also studies its pests here: the University of Florida's Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center stands on College Avenue and houses the university's termite collection. We lean on that research, and where animals live on the property we plan treatments around horses, dogs and water troughs.

What Makes Davie Different for Pest Control

Barn, paddock and house: three inspections on one lot

Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Davie details that shape every plan we write here.

  1. On a horse property we start at the feed: grain bins, tack rooms and hay storage, checking overhead and at every door and wall gap for signs of rats. In a paddock, fire ant mounds get counted first, since that decides between a broadcast bait and single mound treatments, and any product has to be labeled for land where animals graze.

  2. The house gets the same care as any other in Broward County: foundation, roofline, plumbing entries and attic. If we find termites we can send a sample to UF's identification team in Davie. Products are eco-friendly, and commercial properties and real estate inspections are welcome.
