Pest control for Ives Estates family homes and townhomes just south of the Broward County line.
$50 OFF your first service + FREE inspectionNew customers · No code needed · No expirationPlenty of people here couldn't tell you exactly where the neighborhood ends, because it isn't a city of its own. It's an unincorporated part of northeast Miami-Dade just south of the Broward County line, between Ojus, North Miami Beach and Miami Gardens, with I-95 on its east side and Ives Dairy Road running through the middle. Most homes are older single-family houses and townhomes, many of them remodeled more than once, plus apartment and condo communities and plenty of rentals. In the middle sits Ives Estates Park, a district park of about 92 acres built on a former landfill. Three things shape pest control in Ives Estates: older houses with plenty of small gaps, mature trees, and a big park full of dogs, fields and drainage areas. Pro-Spray is a family-run, Licensed & Insured company with 30+ years in business, and we speak English and Spanish.
What makes this neighborhood different
Older, remodeled houses. Decades of additions and plumbing repairs leave holes around pipes under sinks, cracks around hose bibs and AC lines, door frames that have settled, and attic vents that lost their screens. Each one is a door for roaches, ants and rodents. During the FREE inspection we walk the foundation and roofline, check behind the water heater and along the garage door seal, and tell you which repairs would help most.
Mature trees. Big shade trees, palms and backyard fruit trees give roof rats food and a road onto the roof, and they give white-footed ants a place for huge colonies.
The park. The fenced dog areas, the open fields, the wooded edges and the drainage areas around a park this size bring fleas, fire ants, mosquitoes and rodents closer to the streets that face it. If you live near the park, we give the side of your property that faces it extra attention.
Pest control in Ives Estates through the year
| Season | What usually shows up | What helps |
|---|---|---|
| Rainy season, about June to October | Palmetto bugs pushed out of storm drains, mosquitoes, paper wasps under eaves | Drain stoppers at night, dumping water weekly, checking shutters before you roll them |
| Hot months | Fleas from park visits, ant trails along wires and window frames, little fire ants in trees and pots | Vet-approved flea product for pets, baits instead of spraying trails |
| Cooler months | Roof rats moving into attics, spiders in garages, pantry beetles in holiday baking supplies | Trimming branches back from the roof, sealed containers in the pantry |
| Any time | German roaches carried in with boxes, groceries or used appliances | Catching them early, before they spread through shared walls |
German roaches in kitchens and townhomes
Small, light-brown roaches under the toaster or around the fridge motor at night are German cockroaches. They live indoors only and spread through shared plumbing walls in townhome rows. We treat the plumbing gaps under sinks and behind toilets where these roaches hide, and we come back about two weeks later to check. Usually one follow-up does it; a bad infestation sometimes needs more treatments. Skip the drugstore fogger; it pushes them deeper into walls. If neighbors have the same problem, treating several units together works better, and we're glad to talk with your HOA.
Palmetto bugs after summer rain
The big reddish-brown roach in the garage is the American cockroach, or palmetto bug. It lives in sewers, storm drains and leaf litter and heads for dry ground when the afternoon storms flood those spots. We treat outdoor harborage, the gaps they use and the corners where they hide inside. Run water in guest-bath and laundry drains once a week.
Ants on the counter and in the yard
White-footed ants are the ant we hear about most in this part of Miami-Dade. Ghost ants show up at sinks, fire ants mound along sidewalks and driveways, and the little fire ant nests in trees and potted plants and stings when you brush past. We use baits the ants carry back to the colony and treat fire ant mounds around the home one by one.
Roof rats
Scratching overhead at night, droppings in the garage and gnawed fruit under the tree are the usual signs. We find how they're getting in and seal those entry points ourselves. Inside the home, we use traps and, only where the label allows, rodent bait placed out of reach of kids and pets. Then we come back for a set number of follow-up visits, which we tell you about up front. Cutting branches back from the roof and picking up fallen fruit help a lot. See rodent control.
Mosquitoes
Clogged gutters, bromeliads, kids' toys and the retention areas and canals nearby keep mosquitoes busy from spring through fall. Nearby, the old rock-pit lakes and the Oleta River add more breeding spots, and our Ojus pest and mosquito page walks through them. Our monthly service treats the shade where adults rest, like hedges, under decks and along fences, with a backpack fogger outdoors. We never use it indoors. We put larvicide in standing water that can't be dumped and never spray into or toward canals or lakes. Before a birthday party or a cookout, we can do a one-time event spray. See mosquito control.
Fleas, spiders and wasps
When park visits bring cat fleas home, we treat inside and in the shady yard spots where fleas develop, while your pets get a vet-approved flea product at the same time. Brown widows hide under patio furniture and around utility boxes; look for their round, spiky egg sacs. Paper wasps nest under eaves and inside rolled-up storm shutters, and we treat and remove those nests.
Rentals and tenant turnover
Many homes here are rentals. Turnover is when roaches and bed bugs often arrive with boxes and secondhand furniture, so landlords can book turnover treatments while a unit is empty. Renters who need help now can call us too. See bed bug treatment.
Your first visit
The inspection is FREE and covers the yard, the roofline and every room. After that, pick what fits: a one-time service with $50 off, or the $125 quarterly plan (roughly $42 a month), which also covers pantry pests. Monthly mosquito service gets its own quote once we've seen the yard.
