Broadview Park Pest Control on the North New River Canal
Family-run, licensed and insured pest control in South Florida.
$50 OFF your first service + FREE inspectionNew customers · No code needed · No expirationBroadview Park is a small pocket of unincorporated Broward County, roughly 696 acres, boxed in by major roads on every side. Peters Road runs along the north. US 441 / State Road 7 forms the east edge. I-595 and State Road 84 run along the south, and SW 52nd Avenue and the Turnpike close it off on the west. Plantation, Fort Lauderdale and Davie all touch its borders, and the whole community shares the 33317 ZIP code. The North New River Canal flows along its southern side, right beside I-595.
Because it never became its own city, Broadview Park kept a quiet, established feel: one-story homes on modest lots, mature shade trees, backyard sheds, and neighbors who have been there for decades. It also sits between a canal and some of the busiest roads in Broward, and that location shapes which pests turn up in kitchens, attics and yards. Pro-Spray is a family-run pest control company, licensed and insured, and we treat homes and businesses in Broadview Park.

Life along the North New River Canal
The North New River Canal is one of the oldest drainage canals in South Florida, and its banks are lined with grass, brush and trees. For pests, a canal bank works like a long hallway. Rats travel it at night, mosquitoes rest in the vegetation during the day, and fire ants build in the open, sunny strips. Homes on the southern streets, closest to the canal and the highway, often feel that pressure first.
On those properties we inspect the back fence line and any spot where the yard meets brush or water. Woodpiles, stacked pavers, old boats or trailers, and overgrown corners all give pests a place to stay close to the house. Clearing a strip between the fence and the home is one of the best things you can do here.
Rodents between the canal and the highway
Broadview Park sits inside a ring of roads and next to a canal, and rodents use all of it. Roof rats live in palms, fruit trees and dense vines, then cross over to rooftops on branches and wires. They squeeze into attics through gaps at the roofline, loose vent screens and openings around plumbing stacks. House mice need an opening about the width of a pencil and often come in through garages and utility rooms.
If you're hearing scratching overhead after dark, finding droppings near the water heater, or seeing chewed fruit under a tree, it's time for an inspection. Our rodent control finds the entry points, sets traps and tamper-resistant bait stations out of reach of children and pets, seals the openings and returns to make sure activity has stopped.
Classic block homes and shade trees
Much of Broadview Park was built out in the mid-1900s. Many of the homes are single-story concrete block with carports or small garages, and many have had additions, porches and Florida rooms built on over the years. Every addition creates new seams, and seams are where pests get in. We look closely where the original house meets the newer room, around old window frames and where pipes pass through the slab.
The tall oaks and other big trees that shade these streets are part of the neighborhood's charm. They also drop leaves into gutters and onto roofs, hold moisture against walls and give climbing pests a route to the roof. Keeping branches trimmed back and gutters clear helps a lot.
Palmetto bugs in leaf litter and drains
Where there are big trees and shade, there's leaf litter, and leaf litter is home to the American cockroach. These large, flying roaches live outdoors in mulch, tree holes and storm drains, and they come inside through drains, door gaps and weep holes when it rains hard. Inside, the German cockroach is a different problem. It lives and breeds indoors, usually in kitchens and bathrooms, and it often arrives in grocery boxes, used appliances or secondhand furniture.
We treat palmetto bugs from the outside in, around the perimeter, entry points and drains. German roaches get gel bait and growth regulator placed in cabinet hinges, behind appliances and under sinks, followed by a return visit.
Mosquitoes in a canal neighborhood
With the canal along one side and plenty of shade trees, Broadview Park has steady mosquito pressure during the rainy season. Much of the breeding, though, happens in backyards: plant saucers, bird baths, tarps, buckets, tires, bromeliads and gutters clogged with leaves. The Asian tiger mosquito is the striped one that bites during the day, and it can breed in a bottle cap of water.
Our monthly mosquito control service runs on a schedule you can customize. The technician treats the shaded areas where mosquitoes rest with a backpack fogger, adds larvicide to water that can't be dumped, and shows you which containers are the problem. For a backyard birthday or barbecue, we can do an event spray beforehand. See also our page on rainy-season mosquitoes.
Ants in kitchens, pavers and yards
The tiny black ants marching across a Broadview Park countertop are usually white-footed ants, which nest outdoors in trees and mulch and send long trails inside. Florida carpenter ants are larger, reddish and black, and often show up at night. They nest in damp wood, tree cavities and hollow spaces like door frames and soffits. Outside, red imported fire ants build mounds in sunny spots near driveways and canal banks.
Spraying ants you can see just scatters the colony. We use baits indoors so workers carry them back to the nest, and we treat fire ant mounds and ant nests in the yard around the home. We don't do lawn, plant or shrub treatment.
Fleas, ticks and backyard dogs
Plenty of Broadview Park homes have fenced yards and dogs, and plenty of wildlife moves through from the canal. Raccoons, opossums and stray cats leave cat fleas in shaded spots under porches and sheds. Dogs that walk along grassy canal edges can also pick up ticks. Check pets after walks, especially around ears, collars and between toes.
We treat fleas inside the home and in the outdoor resting areas where the larvae live. Each pet needs a vet-recommended flea product the same week, or the cycle keeps going.
Sheds, workshops and carports
Backyard sheds and workshops are common here, and they collect stored lumber, tools, paint cans, lawn equipment and boxes. That clutter is perfect cover for the brown widow, for palmetto bugs and for mice. Carport ceilings and eaves also attract mud daubers, which build tube-shaped mud nests, and paper wasps.
Store things in sealed plastic bins, keep items up off the floor and shake out gloves and shoes before using them. During regular service we treat shed and carport perimeters, remove wasp nests around the home and knock down webs.
Businesses along State Road 7 and the main roads
State Road 7 and the roads that border Broadview Park are lined with restaurants, auto shops, stores and warehouses. Food businesses and storage areas attract roaches, rodents and flies, and those pests often spread to the homes behind them. Our commercial pest control focuses on kitchens, dumpster areas, storage rooms and doors, on a schedule that fits your hours.
Bed bugs and secondhand finds
Bed bugs hitchhike on used mattresses, couches and luggage. If you're bringing home a secondhand piece of furniture, inspect the seams and joints carefully before it comes inside. Signs of bed bugs include small reddish or dark spots on sheets and mattress seams, and bites in a line. We offer targeted bed bug treatment of beds, furniture and cracks with follow-up visits.
Flooding and storm season
Low spots near the canal can hold water after heavy rain or a tropical storm. Floodwater drives pests toward higher, dry ground, which often means your house. Fire ants float in rafts and settle on whatever they reach, rats move into garages and attics, and mosquitoes hatch in the standing water within days. Our guides to floating fire ants and post-flood pest control cover what to do after a storm.
Fruit trees and backyard gardens
Many yards here have mango, avocado, citrus or banana plants. Ripe and fallen fruit feeds rats, draws fruit flies into kitchens and gives ants a sugar source. Pick fruit when it's ripe, clean up drops quickly, and don't leave piles of fruit in an open compost heap near the house. Rats that move into a fruit tree will eventually look for a place in your attic.
Older plumbing and drain flies
In older homes, slow drains and floor drains that rarely get used can dry out or build up a film, and that's where drain flies breed. These tiny, fuzzy flies sit on bathroom walls and fly in short hops. Scrub the inside of the drain with a brush and run hot water to clear them, and run water into floor drains every week or so to keep the trap filled.
Pantry pests in the kitchen
Small brown beetles in a bag of flour, rice or pet food usually mean pantry pests, such as the red flour beetle or the cigarette beetle. They come home inside packaged food and spread to everything nearby in the cupboard. Throw out infested products, vacuum the shelves and move dry goods into airtight containers. We can treat the cracks of the pantry afterward so the stragglers don't start a new round.
A neighborhood surrounded by roads
Few neighborhoods are as tightly framed by traffic as Broadview Park. The roadside grass, drainage swales and landscaped medians along I-595, State Road 7 and the Turnpike are open ground that fire ants, rodents and mosquitoes use freely. You can't control what happens along a highway, but you can make your own lot less inviting by sealing gaps, removing clutter and clearing standing water.
Seasonal patterns in Broadview Park
The rainy months, roughly May through October, bring the heaviest mosquito activity and push palmetto bugs and ants indoors after downpours. Late summer storms can drive rodents into attics. In the drier winter months, rats and mice look harder for shelter inside homes, and indoor roaches keep breeding all year. Quarterly service is designed to keep a barrier in place through each of these swings.
The pests we see most in Broadview Park
Roof rats and house mice, palmetto bugs from leaf litter and drains, German roaches indoors, white-footed ants and carpenter ants, fire ants along canal banks and driveways, mosquitoes, fleas from wildlife, and spiders and wasps around sheds and carports.
