Section A / Register summary
Licensed termite and pest control operators in Florida
Florida contributes 4,480 licensed operators to this register of 13,079 across 5 states, taken from the FDACS Active Licenses (public records) export (record dated 28 August 2026, public records request P054357-082726). Florida licenses pest control businesses under one licence; the WDO (termite) endorsement is not included in the FDACS export, so no termite share is shown for Florida. 4,416 operators have a full file page; 4,229 geocoded to the rooftop, 245 to a ZIP centroid and 6 could not be placed. 1 operator is headquartered outside Florida.

Roll-ups / outside the larger metro areas
| Area | Operators |
|---|---|
| Smaller markets and rural counties | 46 |

Metro pages exist for core-based statistical areas that span Florida and hold at least three records. Everything else is grouped here: in-state operators in smaller markets and rural counties, and out-of-state headquarters licensed to work in Florida.
Cost context / Florida
What treatment costs in Florida
Liquid
$1,400 to $2,800
Bait
$2,000 to $4,000
Tent
$2,000 to $7,500
Tent: drywood tent fumigation; the default whole-home treatment in south Florida and the Keys.
- Statewide range: $800 to $4,500; bond $400 to $650 a year
- Inspection form: Wood Destroying Organisms (WDO) inspection report on FDACS Form 13645 (usual at sale, valid 30 days)
- FDACS licenses the pest control business under one licence; the WDO (termite) endorsement is not in the public-records export, so ask the operator which of its certified operators holds it.
Categories on the FL register
- No category recorded at business level.
Florida issues a single pest control business licence (the JB series) rather than category-by-category licences. The wood-destroying organism endorsement exists on the licence but is not one of the columns FDACS released in this public-records export, so no category or termite column is shown here. Employee ID Card records, which name individuals, are excluded.
Section C / Reading a FL licence record
What the FDACS record does and does not tell you
Every record on this page comes from the FDACS Active Licenses (public records) export, record dated 28 August 2026, public records request P054357-082726. The regulator is the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), Division of Agricultural Environmental Services. The status shown is the one on that file; a licence can lapse or be renewed between snapshots. The Florida extract is a point-in-time public records release, not a live feed: FDACS answered request P054357-082726 on 28 August 2026, and only rows the department marked Active are published here.
Florida licenses pest control businesses under one licence; the WDO (termite) endorsement is not included in the FDACS export. None of the 4,480 Florida records can therefore be marked as termite or not termite, and this site does not guess: ask the business which of its certified operators holds the WDO category, then confirm the licence number on the FDACS licensing portal. The Florida cost sheet linked below explains why the WDO report matters at a house sale.
4,416 records met the data floor for a full operator file (licence number, categories, status and snapshot, address, county, metro, nearest alternatives, plus a phone number where the regulator publishes one). 4,229 geocoded to the rooftop, 245 to a ZIP centroid, and 6 could not be placed and are listed as rows only. 1 operator (0%) is headquartered outside Florida.
Section D / Provenance
Provenance / Florida
- Source
- FDACS Active Licenses (public records) export
- Regulator
- Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), Division of Agricultural Environmental Services
- Snapshot
- 28 Aug 2026 (record dated 28 August 2026, public records request P054357-082726)
- Basis
- Public record obtained under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes (public records request P054357-082726); no reuse restriction stated
- Verify
- FDACS public licence search
Employee ID Card rows name individuals and are excluded, as are 23 rows FDACS marked Out Of Business, Inactive or Cancelled and two department test records. The export carries a primary contact email, largely personal addresses, which is dropped at ingest and never published.
Status is shown exactly as the regulator reported it on the snapshot date and is not a statement about today. Registers change with every renewal cycle; the regulator's own search is the only current source. Business records only: individual applicators, technicians and field representatives are never listed here.
