It is family owned and operated. Glade Peterson founded the company in 2006. Co-owner and manager Mike Agosta runs the day-to-day operations, and customers speak directly to the owner.

Services

Home pest control

Home pest control

Residential pest control that starts with an exterior and interior inspection to identify the pests and how they are getting in. Treatment targets active ants, roaches, and spiders, with a perimeter barrier to stop new entry. Interior work uses baits, gels, and dusts matched to the pest. Bi-monthly follow-up visits maintain the barrier afterward.

Commercial pest control

Commercial pest control

Business pest control for restaurants, retail, offices, multi-family, and HOA properties, with a full interior and exterior inspection on every visit. The property assessment identifies pressure points such as loading docks, drains, storage, and entry points. A perimeter barrier stops new entry, and every visit is logged for compliance files. Interior treatment is tailored to the pest problem. Treatment runs on a set schedule built around the business's open hours.

Termite control

Termite control

Two treatment types for two termite types, starting with an inspection to confirm an active infestation and identify the species. Subterranean termites are treated with a continuous liquid soil barrier around the perimeter of the structure, with termite bait stations installed as a secondary defense. Drywood termites get spot treatment directly at the affected wood, and whole-structure fumigation can be coordinated for severe infestations.

Wood-destroying organism reports

Wood-destroying organism reports

Wood-destroying organism reports for realtors. Empire Pest Defense performs a thorough inspection for any signs of damage due to wood-destroying organisms, then fills out the appropriate paperwork for the realtor and the home buyers.

Rodent control

Rodent control

Full-service rodent control that opens with a thorough interior and exterior inspection for entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity such as droppings, followed by a proposed control plan. Active rodents already inside are trapped and removed with snap traps and tamper-resistant bait stations, and follow-up visits confirm the activity has stopped. Rat bait box service, attic dusting, and rat trapping plans are available as add-ons.

FAQs

What does a first pest control visit include?
It starts with an exterior and interior inspection to identify which pests are in the home and how they are getting inside. The initial treatment then has two goals: clearing all pest activity within the house and preventing new infestations from occurring. A perimeter barrier is then applied to stop new entry. Inside, baits, gels, or dusts are chosen to match the particular pest problem.
How often will you come back?
For homes, Empire Pest Defense offers bi-monthly follow-up visits after the initial service. Those maintenance treatments keep a constant barrier of protection around the house so new infestations do not develop. For businesses, the return schedule depends on the type of business and its specific pest control needs. Commercial treatment runs on a set schedule built around the business's open hours, and a technician comes back out if something comes up between visits.
What does it cost, and do you give estimates?
Empire Pest Defense offers free estimates for its services. Call (561) 798-7216 or complete the form on the site to request a free estimate, schedule a service appointment, or ask a question about the services or about pests in general, and the office will respond with the information you need as quickly as possible.
How do you treat termites?
The home is inspected first to determine whether there is an active infestation, and if there is, the species of termite is identified so the appropriate treatment is used. For subterranean termites a continuous liquid barrier is applied in the soil around the perimeter of the structure, cutting off the colony's access from the soil. Termite bait stations are installed as a secondary defense. For drywood termites, isolated infestations are spot treated directly at the affected wood, and whole-structure fumigation can be coordinated for severe activity. Subterranean termite treatments come with a one-year re-treatment warranty.
What does rodent control involve?
A thorough interior and exterior inspection comes first, looking for entry points, nesting areas, and signs of rodent activity such as droppings, after which a rodent control plan is proposed. Active rodents already inside are trapped and removed with snap traps and tamper-resistant bait stations, and follow-up visits confirm the activity has stopped. Exclusion seals the gaps, vents, and penetrations rodents are using, and rat bait box service is available as an add-on.
Do you handle commercial properties?
Yes. Empire Pest Defense provides commercial pest control throughout West Palm Beach for homeowner associations, multi-family housing, office spaces, restaurants, and retail stores. Every visit includes a full interior and exterior inspection, and the property assessment identifies pressure points such as loading docks, drains, storage, and entry points.
Can you help with lawn and plant pests?
Yes. Lawn and ornamental care targets the pests that damage lawns, hedges, and palms, including chinch bugs, lawn armyworms, and palm weevils, with applications matched to the specific pest and area. Whitefly control on hedges, citrus, and ornamentals uses a targeted foliar application with follow-up monitoring, and it is included in the standard lawn and ornamental care plans.
