Pinecrest Pest Control
Discreet pest control for Pinecrest estates, acre lots
and the homes along Old Cutler and Red Road
Pinecrest was laid out in the 1950s and '60s as ranch homes on one-acre lots, and the village has planted more than 10,000 street trees since 1997 on top of the canopy that was already there. It's the most heavily shaded, heavily landscaped ground in South Dade — and the pests that go with it are the ones that live in trees and damp wood: carpenter ants, roof rats, spiders, and centipedes in the leaf litter. Paradise Pest Solutions is a Key Largo company that runs a route South Dade route through Pinecrest. We bring the same quiet, inspection-first approach we use for Keys waterfront estates, with a written price before any work starts and no truck parked in your driveway longer than it needs to be.
Pests We Treat in Pinecrest
Florida carpenter ants. Pinecrest's big trees drop the dead limbs carpenter ants start in; from there they move into wall voids, window frames and humid attics, foraging at night. They don't eat sound wood — that's a myth — but a colony in the wall is a colony in the wall. We find the nest, treat it directly, and show you the moisture that attracted them.
Roof rats. Avocado, mango and citrus on acre lots, plus branches that reach the roof, give roof rats food and a highway. Hollowed fruit with a quarter-sized hole is the first sign. We trap and remove, then seal entry points smaller than a fist, and flag the branches to cut back.
Big-headed ants and ghost ants. Big-headed ants pile sandy dirt along pavers, pool decks and slab edges; ghost ants trail across kitchen counters. Both get bait the colony carries home, plus a perimeter treatment.
Mosquitoes. Dense landscaping, bromeliads and pool-deck shade hold mosquitoes close to the house all year. Fogging and barrier treatments for yards, pool decks and patios; inspections are free.
American roaches. Palmetto bugs live in the leaf litter, mulch and hollow trees and come in after rain. We treat the perimeter, seal ground-level gaps, and recommend keeping mulch and leaves off the foundation.
Centipedes and millipedes. Deep leaf litter and irrigation keep the ground damp, which is centipede habitat; after heavy rain millipedes head indoors. An exterior barrier before and during rainy season, plus moisture control at the foundation, keeps both out.

Pinecrest Pest Control FAQ
Do you charge extra to come to Pinecrest? No. Pricing is by the property and the pest, not by distance. Every job starts with a free inspection and a written price.
Will treatments harm my landscaping? No. We treat harborage areas and entry points, not the whole yard, and we use plant-safe products around fruit trees, orchids and ornamentals. Ask and we'll walk you through exactly what goes where.
