Other pests
Ants, fleas, mosquitoes, flies and stinging insects
Not every pest needs its own guide. These are other problems Plant City homeowners call about, with the first thing to check for each.
Wasps, yellow jackets & bees
Paper wasps nest under eaves; yellow jackets nest in the ground and can sting again and again. Honey bees in a wall need a beekeeper or licensed company. See wasp and yellow jacket removal.
Fire ants & indoor ants
Fire ant mounds can stay small in Florida's sandy soil, and UF/IFAS says baits — broadcast plus mound treatments — control them best. Tiny pale ants in the kitchen are often ghost ants, a major household pest in central Florida that nests in wall voids and cabinets.
Fleas
UF/IFAS says the pet and the home have to be treated at the same time — and that removing the pet makes hungry fleas bite people instead. Talk to your vet about the pet; a pest company handles the house and yard.
Mosquitoes
Hillsborough County says as little as a teaspoon of standing water can hold mosquito eggs, so tipping out pots, toys, gutters and pool covers weekly does the most. The county runs its own mosquito control; yard treatments add to it.
Flies
House and blow flies breed in garbage, grass clippings and animal waste, according to UF/IFAS. Tight lids, rinsed bins and good screens fix most fly problems; persistent ones point to a hidden source a technician can find.
Raccoons, squirrels & wildlife
Rats and mice are pest control work; raccoons and opossums are wildlife with their own FWC rules. See rodent removal and exclusion for how to tell them apart.

Why Plant City homes see pests
Farmland, old oaks and Florida's termites.
Plant City had 39,764 residents at the 2020 census and an estimated 44,118 by July 2025. It sits in Hillsborough County, midway between Brandon and Lakeland on I-4, and calls itself the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World. Fields, groves, lakes and big live oaks sit right beside newer subdivisions — so roof rats, roaches and spiders never have to travel far to reach a house.
Termites are the expensive one. Florida has 21 recorded termite species, at least six of them invasive, and UF/IFAS reports that Formosan subterranean termites are now documented in every major Florida city, while the Asian subterranean termite has been detected in Central Florida from Tampa to Melbourne. Most swarms happen between March and June.
Plant City also has a lot of older wood. Its three National Register historic districts hold about 400 historic resources, with bungalows the most common style — the kind of homes where a careful termite inspection earns its fee.
One local surprise: FDACS lists Hillsborough County among the places a Mediterranean recluse has been found, though UF/IFAS says no recluse species is established in Florida. Widow spiders are the realistic concern — see spider control.

About this line
A straight answer when you find pests.
Plant City Exterminator does one job: getting Plant City homeowners and renters connected with a local pest control company quickly. We are not an exterminator and we don't send technicians. We run a phone line and route each call to an independent company that serves the caller's area.
That company inspects, quotes, treats and stands behind its work. Our part is making the first call easy — and publishing guides so you know what to check, which termite or bed bug treatment questions to ask, and how to confirm a company holds a Florida license.
Before you call
- Your ZIP code and whether you own or rent
- Which pest, where you see it, and since when
- Any photos or a saved specimen
- Pets or small children in the home (it affects product choice)
FAQ
Questions Plant City homeowners ask
Still unsure? A short call is the fastest way to get a straight answer about your situation.
How much does pest control cost in Plant City?
It is priced after someone looks at the problem: which pest, how big the home is, how far the infestation has spread, and whether you want a one-time treatment or a recurring plan. Termite, bed bug and rodent work is often quoted separately — UF/IFAS notes that bed bug, rodent and termite contracts can be separate from a general household pest contract. Ask for a written quote that lists what is treated, how often, and what a follow-up visit costs.
Who will actually come out — is this a pest control company?
Plant City Exterminator is a free referral service, not a pest control company. Your call is connected to an independent pest control company that serves the Plant City area. That company inspects, quotes, treats and stands behind its own work. Here is how it works and what to ask.
How do I check that a pest control company is licensed in Florida?
Florida licenses pest control businesses through the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Business license numbers start with "JB", service vehicles must carry the company name on both sides, and you can look the company up online or call FDACS at (850) 617-7997. For termites, also ask whether the company's certified operator holds the termite and wood-destroying organisms category.
Is a big roach in the bathroom a sign of an infestation?
Usually not on its own. The 1¼- to 2-inch roaches Floridians call palmetto bugs — American, smokybrown, Australian and brown cockroaches — mostly live outdoors and don't survive well inside, according to UF/IFAS. Small, fast roaches under ⅝ inch in the kitchen are the bigger worry: German cockroaches breed indoors. See cockroach control in Plant City.
I found winged termites inside. Does that mean my house has termites?
Not necessarily. FDACS says a few Formosan swarmers indoors during swarm season don't necessarily mean an infestation; hundreds or thousands coming out of a wall or ceiling do. Drywood termites are different — their colonies live inside the wood. Save a few swarmers in a bag and have the species identified. More on termite inspection in Plant City.
Do I need a termite inspection to buy a house in Plant City?
It's your (or your lender's) call, but most buyers in Florida want one. The state report is FDACS form 13645, the Wood-Destroying Organisms Inspection Report. It covers only visible, accessible areas, it is not a structural damage report, and it is not a guarantee that no termites are present — read the "inaccessible areas" section carefully.
I rent. Is my landlord responsible for pest control?
Often, but check your lease. UF/IFAS points to Florida Statute 83.51(2)(a), which covers a landlord's maintenance duties including pest control, but notes that leases can assign pest control to the tenant — and that renters insurance usually doesn't cover bed bugs. Tell your landlord in writing as soon as you find a problem.
Who handles squirrels, raccoons and opossums?
Rats and mice in the house are pest control work. Larger nuisance wildlife is usually handled by a wildlife trapper — the FWC doesn't license nuisance wildlife trappers, so ask about experience and insurance. Some trappers also hold an FDACS "LW" certificate that lets them trap rats and mice without pesticides. See rodent removal in Plant City.
