Common pests in Miami, FL

Common pests in the Miami-Hialeah area include:

Bees

While some bees, like the blue calamintha, are rare and need protection in Florida, others, like the prevalent bumblebee, spread pollen everywhere. Bees can build their nests in trees or close to your home, and if they're provoked, they may sting. Besides nesting in trees, honey bees and the more aggressive Africanized honey bees have been known to invade walls or attics to nest.

Mosquitoes

In addition to causing itching and welts from their bites, mosquitoes can carry pathogens that cause diseases. Some species can also lay up to 3,000 eggs in just a few weeks in tiny damp or wet spots.

Termites

Termites feed on wood, and there are three main types that infest Miami properties: Formosan, subterranean and drywood termites. Signs of a termite infestation include discarded wings, pencil-sized mud tubes in the ground near your foundation, blisters in your wood and droppings that resemble pellets.

Bed Bugs

As their name implies, bed bugs tend to live and breed on bedroom furniture, bed sheets and pajamas. Bed bugs typically come out at night to feed, possibly leaving bites on exposed skin. These bites can lead to skin rashes, itching and inflammation in some people.

Rodents

Rodents like mice and rats can make their way into your home through A/C units, electrical conduits or gaps in window and door frames. Rodents can carry pathogens that cause diseases and can chew hardwood and wiring. Contact a pest control specialist as soon as you detect rodents in your home or office.
