Pest Control Services In Miami
Miami homes deal with a mix most of the country never sees, including Asian subterranean termites and roof rats in the tree canopy.
Termite ControlAsian and Formosan subterranean termites plus drywood termites are all active in Miami-Dade. Some drywood jobs need the house tented.
Roach ExterminationPalmetto bugs fly in from outside. German roaches spread through Brickell high-rises via trash chutes and plumbing.
Rodent ControlRoof rats run the oak and palm canopy in Coconut Grove and Coral Gables and slip into attics at the roofline.
Bed Bug TreatmentHotels, cruise travel and short-term rentals keep bed bugs moving around Miami Beach and downtown.
Ant ControlGhost ants and white-footed ants trail along kitchen counters. Baits beat sprays for both.
Mosquito ControlRainy season runs May to October. Standing water in plant saucers and bromeliads is the usual source.How Much Does Pest Control Cost In Miami?
Pest control in Miami costs $300 to $550 for a one-time general visit at most homes, which lines up with Angi’s national range. Termites are where Miami bills jump, because drywood infestations sometimes mean tenting.
Price ranges come from Angi’s national data. Miami quotes move with the size of the home and the pest.

What To Know About Pests In Miami
Miami is one of the few places in the US where the Asian subterranean termite has settled in. UF/IFAS researchers have tracked it in South Florida since the 1990s, and it does damage on the same scale as the Formosan termite.
Mosquitoes are the other big one. In 2016 the CDC issued a travel warning for Wynwood after local Zika cases, and Miami-Dade Mosquito Control still sprays and inspects across the county. You can request an inspection through 311.
When Pests Are Most Active In Miami
- Spring
- Subterranean termites swarm on warm evenings. Ghost ants push indoors as the dry season ends.
- Summer
- Rainy season. Mosquitoes, palmetto bugs and ants hit their peak, and storms flush roaches out of drains.
- Fall
- Drywood termite swarms continue. Roof rats start nesting in attics as the rains ease off.
- Winter
- Dry season, but pests stay busy. Good time for termite inspections before spring swarms.

When You Can Skip The Pro In Miami
You can skip the pro for the odd palmetto bug or a short ant trail. Seal the gap under the door, fix the drip under the sink and put out ant bait.
Termites, German roaches and roof rats are a different story. Store sprays won’t reach them, and a missed termite colony in Miami can do years of damage.

Miami Pest Control FAQs
Send us a message about your Miami pest question, and add a photo if you can.
Do Miami condos need their own pest control?
Most condo buildings have a pest contract that covers common areas and sometimes units. Check with your association first.
German roaches and bed bugs often need extra treatment inside the unit, and neighbors may need it too.
What termites do Miami homes get?
Asian subterranean, Formosan subterranean and drywood termites. Subterranean termites come up from the soil and leave mud tubes.
Drywood termites live inside the wood and leave small pellet piles near windowsills. The type decides the treatment and the price.
How do I report mosquitoes in Miami-Dade?
Call 311 or use the Miami-Dade 311 app to request a mosquito inspection. The county’s Mosquito Control division handles it for free.
For your own yard, dump standing water every week and ask about a barrier treatment during rainy season.
How do I know if I have roof rats?
Scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings in the attic and gnawed fruit on the trees are the usual signs.
Trim branches back from the roof and seal gaps at the eaves. Traps alone won’t stop new rats coming in.
Is pest control safe with kids and pets at home?
Yes, when a licensed tech does it. Keep kids and pets off treated spots until they dry, usually a couple of hours.
Tent fumigation is another matter. People, pets and houseplants all leave until the house gets cleared.
