Sunrise is one of central Broward County’s most active commercial and residential cities — home to Sawgrass Mills Mall, the Amerant Bank Arena, a thriving restaurant scene, and thousands of single-family homes and apartment communities. It’s also one of the region’s most pest-active cities, where warm temperatures, abundant water features, and dense development keep pest pressure high year-round. Alco Pest Control has been serving Sunrise homes, restaurants, and businesses for over 27 years.
Whether you’re a homeowner in Springtree dealing with roof rats, a restaurant manager near Sawgrass Mills facing a roach issue before a health inspection, or a property manager overseeing an apartment complex on Oakland Park Boulevard — Alco Pest Control has the tools and local experience to solve it.

Pest Challenges Specific to Sunrise, FL
Sunrise’s combination of large commercial areas, mature residential neighborhoods, and proximity to the Everglades creates a uniquely demanding pest environment. The city’s many lakes and retention ponds — a feature of planned communities like Springtree and Sunrise Golf Village — generate significant mosquito pressure throughout the wet season. The Everglades boundary to the west means wildlife pressure, including raccoons and rodents, is constant in western Sunrise neighborhoods.
Sunrise’s massive retail and food service corridor around Sawgrass Mills and University Drive generates significant cockroach pressure in restaurant and commercial kitchen environments. The city’s diverse housing stock — ranging from older 1970s homes to newer townhome communities — presents varying termite vulnerabilities. Roof rats are active throughout established Sunrise neighborhoods with mature landscaping.
Our Pest Control Services in Sunrise
Rat & Rodent Control
Roof rats are a persistent problem throughout Sunrise, particularly in neighborhoods with mature trees and near the Everglades boundary to the west. Norway rats also appear in commercial and warehouse environments near Sunrise’s retail corridor. Our rodent program includes full property inspection, bait station installation, targeted trapping, and exclusion work to seal every entry point. We monitor until the infestation is fully eliminated.
Cockroach & Ant Extermination
The restaurant and food service density around Sawgrass Mills and University Drive makes commercial cockroach management a serious concern in Sunrise. German cockroaches spread rapidly through commercial kitchens while American cockroaches invade residential properties. Our extermination program uses commercial-grade gel baiting and residual treatments to eliminate colonies at the source and prevent re-establishment.
Termite Inspection & Treatment
Sunrise’s older neighborhoods, particularly those built in the 1970s and 1980s, face significant subterranean termite risk. Termites can destroy structural wood for months without visible signs. Our program includes full inspections, Termidor liquid soil treatment, and Sentricon baiting systems. WDO inspection reports available for Sunrise real estate transactions.
Bed Bug Treatment
Sunrise’s high density of apartment communities and its proximity to major entertainment venues like Amerant Bank Arena creates pathways for bed bug introduction and spread. We use proven heat and chemical protocols to eliminate bed bugs at every life stage with professional, discreet service.
Mosquito Control
Sunrise’s planned lake communities are among the most mosquito-active areas in Broward County during the wet season. Our mosquito program treats larval breeding sources and applies barrier sprays that dramatically reduce adult populations. Monthly maintenance programs keep your outdoor spaces comfortable all season.
Restaurant & Commercial Pest Control
Sunrise’s enormous retail and dining corridor — anchored by Sawgrass Mills and extending along University Drive and Oakland Park Boulevard — makes commercial pest management a high-stakes business here. Alco Pest Control provides monthly service with full health inspection documentation, after-hours scheduling, and experience in the high-volume food service environments where pest problems escalate quickly.
Apartment & Multi-Unit Pest Control
Sunrise has a large multi-family residential population. We work with property managers throughout the city to deliver coordinated building-wide pest treatments, resident communication, and ongoing maintenance programs that prevent pests from moving between units.
Raccoon Removal
Sunrise’s proximity to the Everglades means raccoon activity is common, particularly in western neighborhoods. We provide humane raccoon trapping and relocation in compliance with Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sunrise Pest Control
We’re near the Everglades — does that mean more pest problems?
Yes. Western Sunrise neighborhoods near the Everglades buffer experience higher pressure from raccoons, rodents, and mosquitoes than eastern areas. A preventive maintenance program is especially valuable for these properties.
Can you service restaurants near Sawgrass Mills on short notice?
Yes. We prioritize commercial clients with urgent timelines. Call 954-427-6008 directly for the fastest scheduling.
Do you treat for both residential and commercial properties in the same area?
Absolutely — we serve both sides of the street. Many of our Sunrise clients are homeowners who found us through a local restaurant or business we service.
How long does a rodent exclusion take?
A typical residential exclusion — sealing entry points after trapping is complete — takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the size and construction of the home.
