Pembroke Pines grew west from a small 1960 grid until it met the Everglades, and Precision Pest Control adapts to each stretch. We handle houses and commercial buildings from the streets east of University Drive to West Pines, Chapel Trail and the lakeside subdivisions, and inspect for termites and pests before a sale. Ghost ants, fire ants, carpenter ants, subterranean termites and mosquitoes dominate the schedule.
What Precision Pest Control offers
Pest control in Pembroke Pines has to fit two kinds of neighborhood: aging rooflines in the east and lawn-heavy subdivisions in the west. We work both, plus businesses along the main roads. Quotes cost nothing, plans start at $57, and eco-friendly products go down on every visit.
East of University Drive we spend more time overhead on attics, branches and leaks. In West Pines we start in the lawn and beds, working from the property line inward toward the house.

What we treat
Where the Suburbs Meet the Everglades: Pembroke Pines Pests
Ghost ants
Tiny and pale, the ghost ant ranks among Florida's most important house ants from Orlando south. Workers measure about 1.5 millimeters, with a dark head and thorax and a milky abdomen and legs, so a trail across a light countertop is easy to miss. A colony splits among many small nests in wall voids, potted plants and palm frond bases. UF's guidance is to cut off moisture, keep sweets in sealed containers and bait the trails.
Red imported fire ants
Red imported fire ants want sun and open turf, and this city supplies both, from front lawns to ball fields. The mound is a low dome of worked soil, seldom over 18 inches wide. Kick it and workers swarm up to sting; by the following day each sting has turned into a white pustule. Saturated soil after a storm can send a colony to higher ground or into a house, so check slab edges, pavers and electrical boxes afterward.
Florida carpenter ants
The large two-toned ants seen indoors at night are usually Florida carpenter ants: rusty head and thorax, black abdomen, up to 10 millimeters long. They do not eat sound wood. UF explains that they move into existing voids or dig out soft material such as rotted wood and foam, so a nest can point to a leak. Winged ants turn up on window ledges and at sliding doors in spring, mostly April through June.
Subterranean termites
Formosan and Asian subterranean termites both live in Broward County, and both reach a house from the soil through mud tubes. UF's prevention list suits slab homes: leave at least 6 inches of foundation showing between the mulch line and the wall covering, turn irrigation heads away from walls, and keep shrubs back from the foundation. A yearly visit from a licensed termite inspector finds tubes early.
Mosquitoes after summer rain
Culex nigripalpus, which UF calls the Florida SLE mosquito, is found across South Florida from city parks to farms. Females lay eggs in freshly flooded ditches, so a rain of 2 inches or more in a day sets off a wave of egg laying and then biting. UF identifies it as the primary vector of St. Louis encephalitis virus for the state's southern half.
Spotted something?
Winters are warm and dry. Asian subterranean termites swarm at dusk from February into April, the first termite flights of the year. With the ground dry, this is the easy time to pull mulch back from the slab and look over the foundation for mud tubes.
Formosan termite swarms arrive after sunset and peak in May, and carpenter ant complaints are most numerous in these same months. Save a few of whatever lands on the windowsill. Termite swarmers have four equal wings and beadlike antennae, and knowing which insect it is sets the treatment.
Tropical systems add to the summer rain: Hurricane Irene in 1999 dropped up to 16 inches on the city and an estimated 19 on Chapel Trail and Silver Lakes. Flooded ground moves fire ants and fills ditches for mosquitoes. Broward County Mosquito Control takes free service requests online or by dialing 311.

They are probably ghost ants, which go for sweets. The front half of each worker is dark and the back half pale and nearly see-through. Nests hide in wall voids or potted plants, and many trails begin outdoors. Wipe up sugar, fix drips, and place bait along the trail so workers carry it home.
Rarely in the way termites do. UF says Florida carpenter ants look for existing voids or soft, already rotted wood instead of chewing into sound lumber. A colony can still reach several thousand workers, with satellite nests 20 to 100 feet from the main one. Finding and treating the nest, then fixing the moisture source, is the lasting answer.
Broward County Mosquito Control covers the city. Residents can file a free service request online or by calling 311, and an inspector may visit to find and treat breeding water. Truck spraying happens only where surveillance data meet the county's criteria, so it does not follow every request. At home, empty containers twice a week.
Sunny, open turf is what fire ants want, and mounds are seldom wider than 18 inches. Do not kick them: workers swarm up to sting. After storms, saturated soil can send a colony toward higher ground or into a house, so check slab edges, pavers and electrical boxes.
A plan runs from $57 up. Your yard, house size and pests set the final price, and the free estimate (website or (512) 561-7451) states it up front. Products are eco-friendly, chosen with lake and canal edges in mind, and you hear our recommendation before work begins.
Yes. We service offices, shops, restaurants and multi-unit buildings. Visits focus on landscaping, drains and building edges, where ghost ants, fire ants and mosquitoes start. Describe how the space is used and we will fit the visit around your hours and your building.
Yes. UF suggests a yearly visit from a licensed termite inspector for Broward homes, and a pre-sale inspection gives you a record before a buyer asks. Our termite and pest inspection reviews the foundation, wood and roofline, and lists anything worth fixing.
Pembroke Pines began as less than a square mile beside the Turnpike and kept annexing west until it met the Everglades. Lawns, landscaping and standing water on that newer side draw a different mix of pests than the original streets.
Pembroke Pines was incorporated on January 16, 1960, on former dairy land, and the 2020 census counted 171,178 residents, which makes it the Miami metropolitan area's fourth most populous city. In 1980 it annexed everything from Flamingo Road to U.S. 27 and doubled in size. The part west of Interstate 75, called West Pines, is mostly subdivisions that went up after Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
That growth pattern matters for pests. University of Florida researchers name infested landscape plants as a main way white-footed ants travel, and they suspect replacement sod helped bigheaded ants spread. Beyond U.S. 27 lie the Everglades, and mosquitoes that breed in rain-filled ditches have room to build. We plan by block: lawns and slab edges in West Pines, rooflines and wall voids in the 1960s streets east of University Drive.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Pembroke Pines property
Unique to Pembroke Pines
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Pembroke Pines details that shape every plan we write here.
East of University Drive, where the first subdivisions went up in the late 1950s and 1960s, we spend more time overhead. Carpenter ants follow utility lines and touching branches into attics, and UF calls tree limbs against a house bridges for ants. Trimming them back and fixing the leaks that soften wood removes most of the reason to nest.
In West Pines the ground matters more. Fire ant mounds and ghost ant trails start in the lawn and beds, so treatment begins at the property line and works inward. About 2 square miles of the city is water, so we choose eco-friendly products with lake and canal edges in mind.
