Plant City requires pest control operators to hold Florida Department of Agriculture (FDACS) licenses under FL Chapter 482. Property owners must abate rat, roach, mosquito, and termite infestations that create public nuisances. Tenting fumigation requires 72-hour neighbor notice.
FL §482.071 licenses pest control businesses statewide, preempting local licensing. Plant City Code Enforcement handles nuisance infestation complaints under the property maintenance code. Mosquito breeding on private property (standing water) violates public health code. Hillsborough County Mosquito Control provides spraying services. Termite fumigation tents must be permitted through the building department and Clearwire notifications given to adjacent properties.
Nuisance infestation: notice to abate within 10 days. Failure to comply: 100 dollar fine plus abatement lien. Unlicensed pest control work: FDACS civil penalty up to 5,000 dollars.
