Pest Control in Pembroke Pines, FL for Lakefront Homes, Townhomes and HOA Communities
Family-run, licensed and insured pest control in South Florida.
$50 OFF your first service + FREE inspectionNew customers · No code needed · No expirationAsk anyone in Pembroke Pines what the view is from their back porch, and the answer is usually water. Much of the city was built around man-made lakes and canals, from the older streets near University Drive out to Chapel Trail and Silver Lakes near the western edge. That water is a big reason people move here, and it's also why mosquitoes, ants, spiders and palmetto bugs never really take a season off.
Pro-Spray is a family-run, licensed and insured pest control company based in Hollywood, a short drive east on Pines Blvd or Hollywood Blvd. We build each plan around the home in front of us, whether it's a lakefront single-family house, a townhome with shared walls or a condo in a 55+ community. Call or text 833-845-9284 to book a FREE inspection, and as a new customer you'll get $50 off your first service.
East Pembroke Pines: established neighborhoods and mature trees
The eastern half of the city, roughly from University Drive toward the Hollywood line, is home to some of the older subdivisions, with homes from the 1960s through the 1980s, big shade trees and plenty of fruit trees in the backyards. These neighborhoods tend to see more roof rats and more American cockroaches than the newer communities out west.
Mature mango, avocado and citrus trees drop fruit that feeds rats all summer, and limbs that overhang the roof give them a bridge to the attic. Older homes also have more openings: gable vents with torn screens, loose soffit panels, gaps where the AC line enters the wall and garage doors that no longer seal at the bottom. We inspect all of them, trap the rats that are already inside, and seal the entry points so new ones can't simply move in. Read more about roof rats in our pest library.
Palmetto bugs live in the mulch beds, sewer lines and leaf litter under those trees. They come inside after heavy afternoon storms, usually through the garage, under doors or up through drains. A perimeter treatment, good door sweeps and a look at the drains usually make the difference.
Pembroke Lakes and the central neighborhoods: townhomes and shared walls
Around the Pembroke Lakes area and along Pines Blvd and Flamingo Road, you'll find many townhome communities, villas and garden-style condos, with plenty of shopping and restaurants close by. Shared walls, shared attics and shared trash areas mean that ants and German cockroaches move easily from one unit to the next.
If you live in a townhome or villa, we treat your unit and the outside perimeter you're responsible for. Inside, we use baits and growth regulators where German cockroaches hide, behind the refrigerator, under the sink, inside cabinet hinges and around the dishwasher. We also seal the gaps around plumbing where they travel from the unit next door. If several owners in a row are having problems, we're glad to work with your association on the common areas.
Silver Lakes, Chapel Trail and the western communities
West of I-75, Pembroke Pines turns into larger planned communities like Silver Lakes, Chapel Trail and the neighborhoods along Sheridan Street and Pines Blvd toward US-27. Many of these homes back up to lakes or canals, have pool cages, and sit near the open land at the city's western edge.
Mosquitoes are the main complaint out here, and they're worst from late spring into fall. Spiders follow closely, because pool cages and lanai lights attract the insects they feed on. Fire ants show up in sunny yards, along sidewalks and around the edges of pavers, especially after summer rains. We treat fire ant mounds and offer yard treatments for fleas and ants around the home, so kids and pets can use the backyard. We don't do lawn or plant care.
Homes close to the western edge also see more wildlife passing through the yard, which can bring fleas and ticks. If your dog keeps coming in scratching, we can treat the yard areas around the house where fleas and ticks wait, while you work with your vet on the pet itself.
HOA mosquito control in Pembroke Pines
Many Pembroke Pines neighborhoods are run by homeowners' associations, and HOA boards often hear about mosquitoes before anyone else. We work with associations on monthly mosquito service for clubhouses, pool areas, playgrounds, walking paths and common landscaped areas. Our technicians treat the shady resting spots with a backpack fogger and use larvicide on breeding spots we find, like clogged drains, decorative planters and low spots that hold water.
We can provide a certificate of insurance when your board or management company asks for one. Learn more on our HOA mosquito control page.
Mosquito control for your own backyard
Most people assume the lake is the main problem. It plays a role, but many of the mosquitoes biting you on the patio grew up in small amounts of water right in your yard: a gutter that holds water, a plant saucer, kids' toys, a tarp over the boat or the cups of bromeliads along the lanai. The Asian tiger mosquito, a black-and-white daytime biter, breeds in exactly those kinds of containers.
Our mosquito service is monthly and customizable. Your technician uses a backpack fogger to treat the places adults rest during the day, like hedges along the fence, the shady side of the house, the area behind the AC unit and the edges of the lake bank on your lot. We treat breeding spots with larvicide and show you what to dump or cover. We can't treat the lake itself, but we can make a real difference in the part of the yard where you spend time. Having a party, a graduation or a backyard wedding? We also do one-time event sprays. See more on our Pembroke Pines mosquito control page.
C.B. Smith Park weekends, dogs and fleas
Between C.B. Smith Park, the city's sports parks and the walking paths around the lakes, Pembroke Pines families spend a lot of time outside. Dogs come home from the park or the canal bank with fleas, and before long the living room carpet and the dog bed have them too. Flea problems need two things at the same time: a vet-approved product on the pet, and treatment of the home and the yard areas where fleas develop. We handle the home and yard, and we'll tell you how long to keep pets off treated areas.
Pests we treat most in Pembroke Pines
- Mosquitoes: the biggest seasonal complaint, especially in lakefront and canal-front yards.
- American cockroaches (palmetto bugs): outdoor roaches that move inside after heavy rain. See our American cockroach guide.
- German cockroaches: indoor roaches common in townhomes, condos and apartments. See the German cockroach page.
- Ants: ghost ants and big-headed ants indoors, fire ants in the yard.
- Roof rats and mice: in attics and garages, especially in the older eastern neighborhoods.
- Spiders: on pool cages, lanais and eaves.
- Bed bugs: we treat homes and condos with a dedicated bed bug treatment plan.
- Fleas and ticks: usually brought in by pets.
Rats in the attic: how we handle rodents in Pembroke Pines
Rodent calls in Pembroke Pines usually start with a sound. Someone hears scratching over the bedroom at night, or finds droppings on top of the water heater in the garage. Roof rats are the most common culprit here, and they're good climbers. They run along fence tops, up palm trunks and across power and cable lines to reach the roof, then slip in through gaps as small as a quarter.
Our rodent service has three steps. First, we inspect the roofline, soffits, gable and ridge vents, plumbing stacks, AC line openings and the garage to find how they're getting in. Second, we trap the rats that are already inside and check the traps on follow-up visits. Third, we seal the entry points with materials rats can't chew through. Outside, we can place tamper-resistant bait stations where kids and pets can't reach them. We also point out fruit trees, bird feeders and pet food that keep rats coming back. More details are on our Pembroke Pines rodent control page.
Bed bugs in Pembroke Pines homes and condos
Bed bugs aren't a sign of a dirty home. They travel in luggage, used furniture, moving boxes and even backpacks, and Pembroke Pines has plenty of families, travelers and people moving in and out of rentals. Signs include small blood spots on sheets, dark specks along mattress seams and itchy bites in a line, often noticed in the morning.
If you suspect bed bugs, don't start moving furniture around or sleeping on the couch, which can spread them to other rooms. Call us for an inspection. We check the mattress, box spring, bed frame, headboard, nightstands and nearby furniture, then build a treatment plan with follow-up visits. In condos and townhomes, we'll talk with you about checking the units next door. Read more on our bed bug treatment page and in the bed bug guide.
Spiders and pool cages
Pool cages are everywhere in Pembroke Pines, and spiders love them. Lights on the lanai draw moths and gnats at night, and spiders set up in the corners of the screen, under the gutters and around the light fixtures to catch them. Most are harmless, but webs and egg sacs build up fast, and nobody wants to swim under them. On a general pest visit, we knock down webs we can reach, treat the eaves, corners and cage framing, and treat the perimeter where other insects come in. Switching the lanai bulbs to yellow bug lights also helps cut down the insects spiders feed on.
Businesses along Pines Blvd and Flamingo Road
Pines Blvd is one long run of shopping plazas, restaurants, medical offices, daycares and gyms, and the same goes for the busy corners along Flamingo Road, Palm Avenue and Sheridan Street. Commercial kitchens and break rooms attract German cockroaches, and the dumpster corrals behind a plaza can feed rats for the whole row of tenants. For businesses, we schedule service around your hours, focus on kitchens, storage areas, drains, dumpster pads and delivery doors, and tell your staff what to watch for between visits. See commercial pest control.
Ants that keep coming back
Ant calls in Pembroke Pines spike after new sod, new pavers or a big storm. Ghost ants and big-headed ants nest outside under pavers, in mulch and along the slab, then send trails inside along baseboards, kitchen counters and bathroom windows. Spraying the trail you can see only kills the workers in front of you. We treat the trails with baits the workers carry back to the colony and treat the outside nesting areas around the foundation. If ants are coming from the yard, we treat the yard areas around the home. Details are on our Pembroke Pines ant control page.
55+ communities and condos
Pembroke Pines has a number of 55+ communities and condo complexes, with garden-style buildings, shared laundry rooms and lots of landscaped common areas. Residents there tell us they mostly want two things: no roaches in the kitchen, and a technician who explains things clearly and doesn't rush. We treat units with baits placed out of sight, keep visits short and tidy, and talk with the association when the problem clearly starts in a shared space.
After hurricanes and heavy storms
Summer storms in Pembroke Pines can leave yards and swales under water for days. When that happens, fire ant colonies float up and cling together, and they can sting badly if you step into them. Rats and palmetto bugs move to higher ground, and a week later mosquito numbers jump. Our guides on floating fire ants after flooding and post-flood pest control explain what to do and when to call.
