Licensing and permits
Pest control companies in Florida must be licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). WDO (termite) inspections for real estate are done by FDACS-licensed firms.
Tips before you hire
- Ask whether a termite bond covers repairs or only re-treatment.
- Subterranean and drywood termites need different treatments. Get the diagnosis in writing.
- Selling? A recent WDO report and transferable bond make lenders and buyers comfortable.
