Questions people ask
What is Pest Watch?
A morning email for licensed Florida pest control companies. It lists the restaurants in your county, region or the whole state that state inspectors cited for pests (violation code 35), with the inspector's notes, the phone numbers and the owner or manager mailing name on file, sorted CLOSED, HOT, REPEAT and WARM.
What is in a drop?
Florida restaurant inspections with a pest citation, emergency closures for pests, the inspector's notes for every CLOSED and HOT row, and the phones and mailing name on file. Each inspection reflects conditions at the time of that visit. Details on how it works.
How fast does a citation reach me?
Every morning we check for new inspections, closures and re-inspections. Closures and failed re-inspections usually reach you within about a day. Routine citations can take longer.
How many restaurants are cited for pests?
About 334 Florida restaurants a week on average, and about 125 a week are HOT (inspections Jul 6 to Nov 8, 2026). 27 were closed for pests by emergency order Nov 2 to 8, 2026. Each county's numbers are on coverage.
What does it cost?
County $49 a week, Region $99 a week, Statewide $199 a week. The first week is free on every plan, billing is weekly and you can cancel any time. See pricing.
Do you contact the restaurants?
No. We never call, text or email the restaurants in a drop and they never pay us. What you do with a row is up to you.
Is it legal to use this data for sales?
Pest Watch is a sales tool for marketing your own pest control services. You are responsible for how you contact a business, including the federal and Florida rules on calls and texts. Calling the business line or stopping by in person are the usual first steps.
Is my territory exclusive?
No. Any licensed company can subscribe to any territory. Speed and a good first call are the edge.
Do I need a pest control license?
Pest Watch is for licensed Florida pest control businesses. Add your FDACS license number when you sign up, or we ask for it before the first drop.
Do chains show up?
Yes, flagged as chain, so you can skip them. National chains and contract caterers usually have a national pest contract.
What is in the CSV?
One line per row in the email, with the tier, the restaurant, address, county, inspection date, disposition, code 35 marks, the inspector's notes, phones and mailing name.
How do I cancel?
Reply to any drop or email [email protected]. The drop stops at the end of the week. If it was not useful, say so and we refund your most recent week.
