Residential & Commercial Pest Control Solutions

At Empire Pest Control, we always advise our clients to keep an eye out for signs that indicate they have a pest problem. Ants are one of the most common household pests. They can invade kitchens, bathrooms, and even walls in search of food. Some types of ants, like carpenter ants, can even cause significant structural damage by hollowing out wooden beams and framing; we’ll explain how to identify them thoroughly below:

Acrobat ants: This species range in color from yellowish-brown, to red and black, to black, and is 1/10 to 1/6 inches in length. They commonly take up refuge in trees, dead and decaying root balls, and will invade your property in search of food.
Big-headed ants: They are called like this because of the size of their heads compared to their bodies. Their nests are found in exposed soil or undercover, pavers, concrete driveways, slabs, and in rotting wood.
Carpenter ants: Major and minor workers can live up to 7 years, while the queen lives up to 25. Some signs of infestation are wood shavings along baseboards and window seals.
Ghost ants: These ants can develop large colonies typically in July or August in south Florida. Their large colonies make multiple nesting sites, and they forage aggressively around and into properties.

Bed Bugs: Bed bugs are nocturnal pests that feed on human blood, leaving red, itchy bites. They’re often found in bedding, furniture, and even cracks in the walls. They reproduce quickly, making them difficult to get rid of without professional help.

Cockroaches: German cockroaches are known to carry diseases like E. coli and salmonella. They often thrive in warm, damp areas like kitchens and bathrooms. These pests are not only unsightly but also dangerous to human health.

Termites: Termites can go unnoticed for months, feeding on wood and weakening the structural integrity of your property. If left untreated, they can cause costly damage. Our termite treatment uses the highest-quality, non-repellent termiticide called Pifrenell to ensure long-lasting results. We also offer pre-construction termite treatment as a proactive measure for new builds. Before construction begins, we apply a termite barrier treatment to the soil around the foundation, ensuring your property is protected from termites right from the start.

Rodents (Rats & Mice): Rats can chew through walls, wires, and insulation, causing significant damage and posing a fire hazard. They also carry diseases that can affect humans. Our rat treatment service focuses on eliminating rats through effective baiting methods. In addition, our tap insulation service helps prevent rats and other pests from entering your home. The insulation not only elevates your home’s energy efficiency but also acts as a barrier to pests, keeping your space safer and more comfortable.

Other pests we can treat also include:

  • Fleas
  • Mosquitoes
  • Spiders

Keep An Eye on the Following Threats

There are many other pests that are common in this area and can invade your property. One of them is the German cockroach, which is known for constantly shedding its skin and producing dandruff that can cause allergies and respiratory problems. It can feed on your skin and hair, it spreads E. coli, salmonella, and other diseases. It is a significant nuisance to human habitation.

Fleas are another common pest in this area. They have an incredible ability to jump, and once that’s combined with their ability to reproduce rapidly, it can be a challenging–and expensive–opportunity to eradicate their presence. Not only do fleas love to hide on furry pets, but they love to make homes in the cushions of couches, the carpeting on floors, the bedding on beds, and even baseboards.

You can relax knowing that we use only safe, effective methods to eradicate pests from anywhere they may be hiding in your space. Our team will treat your space with respect as if it was their own home!
