Wasp nest, bed bugs, or a swarm right now?
- 1Do not spray a wasp or hornet nest in daylight; colonies sting in numbers and survive.
- 2For bed bugs, stop moving mattresses and luggage between rooms, which spreads them house-wide.
- 3For a termite swarm indoors, bag a few insects for identification and leave the rest.
- 4Then call the companies above and ask for same-day or next-day treatment.

What does pest control cost?
National research range
$100 to $300 per visit
Quarterly recurring service runs about $100 to $200 per visit; one-time treatments and specialty work like termites cost more. U.S. research ranges, not Kendall quotes.
See the full Pest Control cost guideWhat moves the price
- One-time treatment versus a quarterly plan, which almost always costs less per visit.
- The pest itself: general ants and roaches sit at the low end, termites and bed bugs are their own category.
- Square footage and whether the crawlspace, attic, and yard perimeter are included.
- Follow-up visits: ask whether re-treatment inside the warranty window is free.
Ask companies to confirm these in writing. One request above reaches up to three.
Common pests in Kendall
What companies here get called for. 4 of these 8 usually need a recurring plan.
Drywood termites
Check wooden window frames, door trim, attic rafters, and furniture for tiny pellet piles that look like sand or pepper. Those droppings are often the first clue. If you find them, photograph them and ask for a written inspection before agreeing to any treatment.
What treatment involves. Localized wood treatment, or fumigation when it is widespread.
Formosan termites
Warm, humid weather with no real seasonal break means Formosan termites can stay active around Kendall homes for most of the year. Moisture draws them, so fix leaks and damp wood fast. Because their colonies grow so large, a full inspection beats guessing.
What treatment involves. Whole-structure treatment. Spot treatment does not hold against this one.
Subterranean termites
Humid conditions most of the year keep soil moist, which helps subterranean termites stay active near Kendall homes. They hide in soil and often show up first as mud tubes on foundation walls. A yearly inspection catches them before the damage spreads.
What treatment involves. Liquid soil barrier or a monitored bait system, plus an annual inspection.
German cockroaches
Look in kitchens and bathrooms first, especially behind the fridge, under sinks, and around dishwasher seals. Small dark specks like pepper and a musty smell are early signs. Wipe up grease and crumbs, then ask about gel baiting with follow-up visits.
What treatment involves. Gel baiting with follow-up visits. One spray rarely finishes it.
Mice
Mice squeeze through gaps about the size of a dime. Listen for scratching in walls at night and check for droppings along baseboards, in pantries, and under sinks. Seal visible gaps around pipes and doors, then have the entry points professionally checked.
What treatment involves. Exclusion first, sealing entry points, then trapping and monitoring.
Bed bugs
Check the seams of your mattress, headboard, and box spring for tiny dark spots and small rust-colored stains. Bites often show up in a line on exposed skin. Wash bedding on hot, and avoid moving items between rooms until a pro has looked.
What treatment involves. Heat treatment or a multi-visit chemical program, with follow-up inspection.
Roof rats
Listen for scurrying in the attic at night, and look for gnawed fruit under palm trees or citrus in your yard. Greasy rub marks along rafters and roof lines are another clue. Trim branches touching the roof and ask about attic and roofline sealing.
What treatment involves. Attic and roofline exclusion plus trapping. Baiting alone leaves the entry open.
Fire ants
Fire ants build dome-shaped mounds in sunny lawns, along sidewalks, and near foundations. Do not poke a mound, because the whole colony will swarm. Keep kids and pets clear, then ask about a yard-wide bait treatment plus individual mound treatment.
What treatment involves. Broadcast bait across the yard plus individual mound treatment.
Pest control plans and what they cover
Two pest control quotes rarely cover the same thing. Each service below has the one question that makes quotes comparable.
Recurring general pest plans
A technician treats the outside perimeter and entry points, refreshes bait stations, and treats inside only where pests are active. Most plans include free return visits.
Four of the 8 pests common around Kendall usually need ongoing service, namely German cockroaches, mice, roof rats, and fire ants. That makes a recurring plan worth a close look. Ask which of these the plan actually covers and which are billed separately.
What moves the price. Home size, which pests are covered, how often visits come, and the heavier first visit.
Ask before booking. Which pests does the plan cover, and which ones, like termites or rodents, cost extra?
The honest part. Most general plans leave out the expensive problems. Termites, bed bugs and rodent exclusion are usually separate contracts, so read the exclusions before comparing prices.
Termite treatment, liquid or bait
A liquid treatment puts termiticide in the soil so termites cannot reach the wood. A bait system uses monitored stations that termites carry back to the colony.
Kendall's termite list includes drywood, Formosan, and subterranean termites, and they do not respond to the same treatment. Drywood termites live inside the wood with no soil contact, so a soil barrier does not reach them. Ask which termite the inspector found.
What moves the price. The perimeter length, slab or crawlspace, any concrete drilling, and the bait monitoring visits after.
Ask before booking. Which method suits this house, and what does the warranty require me to pay each year?
The honest part. University of Florida research found baits eliminate the colonies that feed on them, while liquids mainly keep termites out. Bait stations nobody services protect nothing.
Termite warranties and renewals
An annual renewal keeps the warranty in force with a yearly inspection. Retreatment-only means treating again; repair-and-retreatment also pays for new damage up to a limit.
Before you sign, ask for the warranty document itself and read what voids it. Find out whether it is retreatment only or also covers repairs, and what the yearly renewal costs. Put the renewal terms from each quote side by side so you compare the same things.
What moves the price. The warranty type, its repair limit, the size of the structure, and whether it transfers on sale.
Ask before booking. Is this retreatment only, or does it pay to repair new damage, and up to what amount?
The honest part. With retreatment only, every repair bill is yours, and homeowners policies exclude termite damage. Ask for the warranty document itself and what voids it.
Termite inspection for a home sale
A wood destroying insect inspection documents termite evidence, damage and conducive conditions, usually on the NPMA-33 form. VA loans require one in moderate to heavy termite areas.
If you are buying or selling, book the inspection early so the report is ready well before closing. Ask for the written report and read the section on conditions that attract termites. Remember it only covers what the inspector could see that day.
What moves the price. House size, crawlspace and attic access, detached structures, and how fast the report is needed.
Ask before booking. Will the report be on the form my lender accepts, and how long does it stay valid?
The honest part. An inspection covers what is visible that day, not what sits behind finished walls. A company that also sells the treatment has a reason to find something.
Rodent exclusion
Finding and sealing the gaps mice and rats use at the foundation, roof line, vents and utility lines, then trapping what is inside. Sealing ends the problem.
Kendall's rodent list includes mice and roof rats, and they get in differently. Mice use small gaps at ground level, while roof rats use the roofline and attic. Ask the quote to name every entry point it will seal, not only where traps go.
What moves the price. The number of entry points, roof and attic access, sealing materials, and follow-up trap checks.
Ask before booking. Is sealing the entry points in this quote, and is the work guaranteed if they get back in?
The honest part. Bait boxes on a recurring plan manage rodents outside but do not stop them coming in. A quote without sealing work is monitoring, not exclusion.
Mosquito and tick programs
A seasonal program treats the shaded foliage where mosquitoes rest and the yard edges where ticks wait, and clears standing water. Each treatment wears off, so it repeats.
Before paying for a program, walk your yard and empty anything holding water, like plant saucers, buckets, and clogged gutters. That step you can do yourself. Then ask quotes how often visits repeat and what the yard-edge treatment includes.
What moves the price. Yard size, how much dense planting there is, the number of visits, and whether ticks are included.
Ask before booking. How many visits does the season include, and what do you do about standing water here?
The honest part. Barrier treatments reduce mosquitoes but do not eliminate them, and neighbouring yards keep supplying more. Emptying standing water stops breeding, and you can do it yourself.
One-time treatments
A single visit for one specific problem, such as a wasp nest, a pantry infestation or an isolated ant trail, without signing up for a recurring plan.
A one-time visit fits a single wasp nest or one isolated ant trail. For roaches, bed bugs, or a large ant colony, ask the quote what happens if pests return. A low one-time price that leaves out follow-ups can cost more in the end.
What moves the price. The pest, how established it is, how many rooms or nests are involved, and any follow-up.
Ask before booking. Is a follow-up visit included if the problem comes back within a few weeks?
The honest part. One visit suits some pests and not others. German cockroaches, bed bugs and most ant colonies need follow-ups, so a one-time price there usually means paying again.
What the Kendall climate means for pests
- The climate here is humid for most of the year, and warm humid conditions favour cockroaches, termites and moisture pests, and there is no real seasonal break in activity.
Climate class from DOE Building America county zones.
Six checks before you sign a pest control contract
Pest control is a licensed trade, so start with the state license. The rest is what the contract commits you to.
Check the applicator license
Applicator certification here is handled by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Ask for the license number and the certified applicator's name, then confirm both.
Find the agency's contact details (NPIC)Get an inspection before a termite or rodent price
Plans can be quoted from house size, but termite and rodent work cannot. A phone price before anyone inspects the house is a guess.
Compare the first visit and the recurring price separately
The first service usually costs more than routine visits, so two equal quarterly prices can mean very different totals in the first year.
Read the contract length and how to cancel
Many plans renew automatically or carry a minimum term. Ask how you cancel and whether a fee applies before you sign, not after.
Ask about free return visits
Most plans send a technician back between services if covered pests return. Ask whether that is included and how soon they come.
Ask what product is being used
Ask for the product name, and follow the technician's directions from its label on when people and pets can go back into treated areas.
When to book pest control in Kendall
Spring
Termite swarm season and ant season kick off; the best month for a preventive perimeter treatment.
Summer
Peak mosquitoes, wasps, and roaches; recurring plans earn their keep now.
Fall
Rodents move indoors as nights cool; seal entry points before the first cold week.
Winter
Quietest booking season; good time to negotiate an annual plan.
