Homestead Wildlife Questions
What agricultural pests affect Homestead homes near the farming areas?
Homestead's proximity to Miami-Dade's agricultural zones means residents deal with a wider range of pests than urban areas. Fire ants are extremely common throughout south Homestead. Whiteflies, which devastate ficus hedges and ornamentals, are also prevalent, as are occasional invasive species like the tawny crazy ant that migrate from agricultural fields.
Are termites a serious problem in Homestead?
Yes. Homestead sits in Miami-Dade's Zone 10 climate where termites — both Formosan subterranean and drywood species — are active year-round. The area's high humidity and frequent rainfall accelerate termite colony growth. New construction and older homes alike require preventative termite treatment.
What pests threaten Homestead gardens and fruit trees?
Homestead gardeners face pressure from whiteflies (particularly on ficus and citrus), scale insects, mealy bugs, and chinch bugs in St. Augustine grass lawns. Roof rats also nest in fruit trees and are a persistent problem. We offer targeted ornamental and lawn pest programs designed for Homestead's agricultural environment.
