As we all know in the Miami area, summer heat and humidity bring many insects into our homes and yards. Summer brings the ideal living and breeding conditions for roaches, ants, spiders and many other florida pests.

During this time Miami Pest Control is simply big business! Pest control related calls begin to pour in and dispatching technicians to these needy customers becomes an art. Many customers report that they placed an average of 5 calls for pest control ellimination services and maybe 1 would call back. This is directly attributed to the volume of calls or demand for these services during this time.

Unfortunately, many smaller pest control companies are running full staff to meet the need but are still unable to service all of the calls received and being able to service their regular Monthly, Bi-Monthly, and Quarterly service customers becomes very difficult.  

We have experienced this Pest Control frenzy and are working very hard to get all of our regular service customers back on schedule. We would like to apologize if any of our customers have experienced a slowdown in service, and promise to quickly resolve any scheduling issues.

We would like to thank all of our customers for their patience and patronage. Our commitment to our customers remains strong, and our dedication will get us through these times.

The world's first flying car (maybe pest control truck?) has come closer to lift-off after being granted road safety exemptions that will allow it to be used both on the road and in the air. Imagine the Pest Control in Miami that could be offered if this possibility became a reality.

 The Transition Roadable Aircraft, likely to cost £160,000, can fold its wings away to drive on the road.

Its makers have been given permission to use special tires that will not weigh the aircraft when it is in flight.

Instead of heavy glass windows, it will have panes made from a polycarbonate material that is lighter and less likely to shatter.

The exceptions granted by the American National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last week mean the car-plane — which echoes famous flying car Chitty Chitty Bang Bang — has come within reach of going on sale for the first time.

With a wing span of 27.5ft and an airborne range of 460 miles, owners could soar into the skies and cruise at 115mph if traffic gets too much.The 19ft-long device takes unleaded fuel and can be parked in a garage. But prospective buyers must have a flying licence — and the car will only start if a special code is used.

Manufacturer Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, said it should come on the market at the end of next year.

A local pest control company in the kendall area of Miami, New Era Pest Control, is waiting for these to be released and would like  to use them for its local based routes, in order to better serve its customers.

MIAMI (CBSMiami.com) – The Miami man who was found in the cab of a fume-filled pest-control pickup truck along I-95 in Palm Beach County Monday apparently was not legally allowed to do pest control work, according to an investigation by CBSMiami.com.

A search of state records indicates Jorge Barahona, who was found in a truck bearing the name CJ’s Pest Control, may have been having trouble with the pest control business he has run from his Southwest Miami-Dade home since March of 1998.

Barahona was found in a truck identifying his business Monday morning, along with a 10-year-old boy said by police to be a foster child in his care. Fumes in the truck sent the Barahona and the boy to the hospital, along with 4 firefighters. A body was found in the truck later in the day, sparking a major investigation.

Barahona and his wife, Carmen, incorporated CJ’s Pest Exterminators Inc. in March, 1998, and operated the business from their home on SW 47th terrace in Southwest Miami-Dade, according to records on file with the Florida Secretary of State.

Neighbors were aware of the business, and some had good things to say about Barahona and how he managed toxic pest-control chemicals.

“He was always very cautious when he did his stuff,” said neighbor Jim Sheppard. “He sprayed my house, and when he came in and sprayed my house he’d always put on a big respirator and ask me to step out. He’s always really cautious and careful about the chemicals.”

But according to state records, Barahona should not have been applying pest control chemicals in any home but his own.

The Florida Department of Agriculture database of licensed pest control operators  shows that while Barahona is a certified operator in good standing for general home pest control, a state ID card he was required to carry to do business in people’s homes expired in August of 2009, and had not been renewed. Without it, “It’s not legal for him go go out and perform pest control,” said a clerk in the Agriculture department’s department of Entomology and Pest Control.

Michael Page, Chief of the Bureau of Entomology and Pest Control, told CBSMiami.com that Barahona’s company’s license expired November 15th, 2009

There are other apparent lapses in Barahona’s business. In March, 2010, he failed to file a required annual report for CJ’s Pest Exterminators Inc. with the Secretary of State. According to state records, his corporation was dissolved 6 months later, in September 2010.

There is no record Barahona attempted to have the corporation reinstated, which would have required paying a $400 late filing penalty. Instead, in order to have the legal status to maintain a business bank account, Barahona filed a “Fictitious Name” request with the state, paying a $50 fee to use the name CJ’s Pest Control, which was the name on the pickup truck along I-95 Monday.

The state approved that request February 8th, 6 days before Barahona was found inside his truck, with a body in the back.

In Miami-Dade County, the law requires all businesses, including those operating from a home, to obtain a tax receipt. County records show there is no such certificate for Barahona’s address or any of the businesses located there. In addition, some businesses require a certificate of use depending on the type of business and where they operate.

Hilda Castillo, a spokesperson for Miami-Dade Building and Zoning, confirmed Tuesday afternoon that the county has no certificate of use on file for Barahona’s address.

Miami Florida, a great place to live. However this time of year can bring Rats and Mice into our homes. When these guys move in, you want to move out! These nasty pests find ways into our homes and businesses and turn our lives upside down. Don't Worry! Be happy!

There is good news and it takes some basic knowledge to make sure these pests don't intrude your humble abode.

As a Natural Pest Control Company , using poisons and traps is a last resort in removing rats, rodents, and mice. There are much better solutions and a little preperation will offer years of protection.

Wouldn't it make better sense to remove foliage and debris outside the home and seal any entry points so that these pests cannot enter? We think so!


Our 3 part series will offer you some things to look for, cleanup and rat proofing tips. Let's get started and take a look at some simple things that can be done to get rid of Rats, Rodents, and Mice. 

1. Remove Excess Foliage, Debris and Food

Believe it or not Rats and Mice are very affraid of you and typically would not attack you in any way unless cornered with no way out. Rodents simply live and die for 3 basic needs. Their prime existance revolves around food, water, and making little rodents. They are NOT there to eat you, attack you or sit and watch television with you while you eat your Bon Bons on the couch. The search for food, water and nesting materials/places remains the primary focus.

With this being said, these pests can cause a considerable amount of damage in order to acheive their goals, and must be removed from the home.

Rats and Mice prefer to be in areas where they are safe and hidden from predators, like birds, cats, even humans. Hiding and moving through things like wood piles, construction debris, bushes, garbage, trees, or anything else it can find keeps them hidden and undetected in most situations. Removal of these items, keeping the grass cut low, trimming trees away from the house, and placing dog food in plastic containers can help. It is also very important to elliminate any food sources. If you provide food for these freeloaders, they will "Check in and Never Check out".

Rodent Control in Miami

Many pest control companies spray pesticides "everywhere" in an effort to gain control over pests in the home. Unfortunately, this approach leaves those chemicals in places where your family members and pets can come in contact with them.

One of the main components of our natural IPM integration solution is "Exclusion". The goal is to create a tight seal around your home so that pests and rodents cannot find entrance ways. This is a more natural, customized and healthier approach to pest management. Using natural baits, gels, and natural pesticides on the outside of the house help protect the inside from those unwanted intruders. 

A natural (IPM) Integrated Pest Management approach in each scenario, while determining the most effective, safest and most natural combination of products, methods and application techniques to manage your individual pest problem is clearly a better option to simply spraying poisons all over the home.

New Era Pest Control IPM approach is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to natural pest control that relies on a combination of natural, common-sense practices and is based on our knowledge and understanding of insect biology's, environments, habits and natural habitats.

Roof Rats spend most of their lives more than 4 feet off the ground. Visual sightings of roof rats on power lines, trees, bushes are common. Seeing rat droppings, gnawing marks on electrical wires, or a new hole by the base of the floor, could mean you might have rats. Hearing noises in the attic? Besides the settling sounds a house can make, rats can also make sounds that are rather bothersome in the night hours. Scurrying from one side to another could be a good indicator that roof rats may be present in your attic. Hearing sounds in the walls, high pitched screeches, gnawing sounds are all reasons to suspect roof rats may be in your home.

Pets like dogs or cats can be rather unsettled when rats are present as well. I remember as a kid we had a rat problem. Our faithful dog Bert was our rat hunter.  These rodents would climb the mango mango tree. Rats love mango's. Noticing hollowed out fruit or citrus? Well, anyways, they would climb the mango tree.and get on the roof, find an opening or make one, and work their way down the walls and into the house. As soon as Bert would raise his head and run into the kitchen, we knew he was after a rat. He would catch the rat and set it down at my fathers feet as a gift. Bert was rewarded with a real treat (a piece of steak) We eventually had a pest control company come out and seal the home and cut the branches away from the home. This ultimately got rid of the problem. Sure do miss our rat hunting dog! Love you and miss ya Bert!
