What we treat
Yard-to-Attic Pest Protection for Miami Gardens Neighborhoods
Red imported fire ants
Red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) raise soil mounds in lawns and along the edges of sidewalks, driveways and foundations, and they also settle under patio slabs and inside electrical boxes. Mounds rarely top 18 inches across. Disturb one and the workers pour out stinging. A white pustule usually appears by the following day, and reactions range from local pain and swelling to anaphylactic shock.
Formosan and Asian subterranean termites
Only a handful of Florida counties have the Asian subterranean termite, and Miami-Dade is one; the Formosan subterranean termite lives here too. Either one travels up from the soil through cracks and joints in a foundation or inside shelter tubes stuck to the wall, then hollows wood until the surface looks blistered or peels. A Formosan colony can number in the millions. Professional control relies on non-repellent liquid termiticides or on baits that block molting.
Australian cockroaches (palmetto bugs)
By UF/IFAS's account, the roach South Floridians meet outdoors more than any other is the Australian cockroach (Periplaneta australasiae). Reddish-brown to dark brown and about 1.25 inches long, it has pale yellow bands along the top edge of each forewing, and like its American and smokybrown relatives it gets called a palmetto bug. It shelters under bark and in woodpiles and can glide. Snug door thresholds come first.
Florida carpenter ants
Florida carpenter ants (Camponotus floridanus) are the big ones, up to 11 millimeters, with a rusty head and thorax and a black abdomen. They do not eat wood. They occupy existing voids or dig out only soft material such as rotten wood, and indoors they pick walls with moisture seepage, leaky window and door frames, and attic insulation near the eaves. Branches touching the house serve as bridges.
Day and night mosquitoes
Two kinds of mosquito share these yards. Aedes aegypti breeds in small containers and bites by day. The southern house mosquito (Culex quinquefasciatus) lays eggs in nutrient-rich standing water, from neglected bird baths to old tires, and feeds after dark; across the South, says UF/IFAS, no mosquito does more to spread St. Louis encephalitis virus. Draining water every week handles both, and Bti dunks treat water that cannot be drained.
Spotted something?
South Florida's dry months are the comfortable time for yard work that prevents pests later: cut limbs back from the roof, shift woodpiles away from walls and rake mulch off the foundation. Asian subterranean termites start flying in February, so watch the porch light on warm evenings.
Formosan subterranean termites take wing once the sun is down, any evening from the first days of April through the end of June and most heavily in May. Carpenter ants fly on evenings from May through November. Swarmers of both are drawn to lights, so seal a few in a jar for identification.
Afternoon storms keep lawns soaked. When soil is saturated, fire ants relocate upslope or into buildings, and their mating flights come on warm sunny days that follow rain. Mosquito numbers rise with every filled container. Miami-Dade County Mosquito Control takes inspection requests at 311.

Start with bait. UF/IFAS notes that fire ant baits can be broadcast across a whole yard or placed at single mounds, while drenches, dusts and injections treat one mound at a time. Keep children and pets away from active mounds, and get medical help at once for anyone who struggles to breathe after a sting.
Not the way termites do. Florida carpenter ants do not eat wood; they nest in existing voids and only excavate soft material such as rotten wood or foam. Finding them indoors often points to a moisture problem around a window, a door or the roof edge. Treating the nest directly and repairing the leak solves both issues.
Usually not. The large roaches people call palmetto bugs, chiefly American, Australian and smokybrown cockroaches, live outside in palms, tree hollows, mulch beds and fallen leaves and slip indoors through gaps, often in search of water. One now and then means there is an opening to seal. Small German cockroaches in a kitchen are a different matter and call for indoor treatment.
Look for mud shelter tubes on foundation walls, wood that looks blistered or peels, and winged swarmers around lights on evenings from April through June. Both Formosan and Asian subterranean termites live in Miami-Dade, and one Formosan colony can number in the millions. If you see any of these signs, request an inspection instead of waiting.
Starting at $57, our plans scale with the lot, the house and whatever pests turn up. Nothing is guessed: a free estimate comes first, and you can ask for it online or by phoning (512) 561-7451. We explain the recommended steps in plain language before any treatment begins.
Yes. Our commercial service covers shops, offices and other businesses, with attention to parking areas, landscaping, door seals and drains. Fire ants nest at pavement edges, roaches follow plumbing and mosquitoes breed in standing water, so each plan reflects the property you actually have.
Yes. Our termite and pest inspection is designed for home sales. We check the slab edges, the base of the walls, the roofline and moisture spots, then give you a clear record of what turned up. Sellers can fix issues early and buyers know what they are getting.
Miami Gardens joined seven older county communities into one city in 2003, reaching from 151st Street north to the Broward line. Many of the pests we treat here start in the yard and work their way toward the house.
Miami Gardens is a suburb in north-central Miami-Dade County, 16 miles north of downtown Miami. Its 111,640 residents in the 2020 census make it Florida's most populous city with a majority African American population. It was incorporated on May 13, 2003, from the neighborhoods of Andover, Bunche Park, Carol City, Lake Lucerne, Norland, Opa-locka North and Scott Lake, and Hard Rock Stadium stands in what used to be the Lake Lucerne census area.
Much of Carol City was still farmland in the 1960s, and many families arrived after Interstate 95 was built late in that decade. Neighborhoods settled that long ago tend to have tall trees over the roof, thick lawns and door seals that have been through a lot of rainy seasons. Households are large, averaging 3.52 people, so we favor eco-friendly products and careful placement wherever children and pets spend time.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Miami Gardens property
Unique to Miami Gardens
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Miami Gardens details that shape every plan we write here.
We start where the pests do. Outside, that means walking the lawn for fire ant mounds, checking slabs, utility boxes and the base of the walls, and looking up at any branch that touches the roof. Large roaches and carpenter ants use those branches and the gaps under doors, so trimming and tightening thresholds reduces what reaches the kitchen.
Then we look at moisture. Subterranean termites need it and carpenter ants choose damp wall voids, so a dripping hose bib, an air conditioner line draining against the wall or a leaking window frame deserves repair before any product goes down. Treatment is matched to what we find, explained in plain terms and priced from $57, with a free estimate first.
