Pest control in Broward County is regulated by FDACS. Licensed operators handle termites, rodents, and mosquitoes, with tent fumigations coordinated with the fire department.
Pest control in Broward County requires licensing through the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Bureau of Entomology and Pest Control under Chapter 482 Florida Statutes. Commercial applicators must be licensed, carry liability insurance, and maintain pesticide application records. Termite tent fumigations using sulfuryl fluoride are common in South Florida, and require 48-72 hour evacuation, utility shutoff, warning signage, and coordination with the local fire department for notification. Broward County Mosquito Control conducts countywide aerial and ground larvicide and adulticide applications to suppress Aedes aegypti and Culex species that transmit Zika, dengue, and West Nile. Invasive Formosan subterranean termites and the drywood termite complex are endemic and require preventive treatments in homes and boats. Rodent-proofing and trash management are enforced under Broward County and municipal property maintenance codes to prevent Norway and roof rat infestations, and restaurant pest control is inspected under FL DBPR food service rules.
