Doral is among the youngest cities in Miami-Dade County, incorporated in 2003 on former swampland west of Miami International Airport. New buildings are not pest-free buildings: fresh landscaping and a steady flow of shipments bring problems of their own.
Doral began when Alfred and Doris Kaskel bought 2,400 acres of swampland in the late 1950s and opened the Doral Country Club in 1962; the name blends Doris and Alfred. The first wave of homes came in the early 1980s, and growth took off after a county building moratorium ended in 1985. Doral became a city on June 24, 2003, and the 2020 census counted 75,874 residents, up from 45,704 ten years earlier.
The city covers about 15 square miles, more than one of them water, with the Turnpike and the Everglades on its western edge and Medley to the north. Because the airport is close, importers, exporters and logistics firms cluster here; a 2017 city study counted 6,802 establishments employing 102,235 workers. Precision Pest Control serves both sides of Doral: residential communities and the commercial properties where goods come through the door.
