West Palm Beach follows Florida Department of Agriculture (FDACS) Chapter 482 for licensing of pest control operators. Property owners must address rodent, termite, and mosquito infestations under City Code Chapter 22 (Health and Sanitation).
Subtropical climate makes termite (subterranean and Formosan), rodent, and mosquito control critical. New construction in Palm Beach County requires soil treatment or bait system per FBC 1816. Mosquito breeding sources (standing water, neglected pools) are nuisance violations. Palm Beach County Mosquito Control District handles arboviral surveillance.
Failure to abate vermin or mosquito breeding can result in code enforcement liens. Unlicensed pest control work is a state-level offense under FL 482.
