Prayer to Begin the Day

Thursday, December 28, 2023

Lord God, may everything we do
begin with your inspiration
and continue with your help,
so that all of our work today will
bring us closer you.
Guide us in our work today,
that we may do it not for ourselves alone,
but for the common good of all.
We ask this in your name. Amén.

Tower Pest Control
Pest Control Service
http://www.tpcmiami.com
(305) 821-3888
Tower Pest Control – Proudly Family-Owned, Faith-Guided, and Trusted for Over 30 Years Tower Pest Control has been protecting South Florida homes, businesses, and communities for more than three decades. Founded in 1996, we are a proud, family-owned and operated company built on the core values of integrity, faith, and service. What began as a small business with a bold vision—to “tower above the rest”—has grown into one of the region’s most trusted names in environmentally responsible termite, iguana, and general pest control. But Tower Pest Control is more than just a business—it’s our family legacy. Our children were raised right here in this community and are proud alumni of Immaculate Conception School, where they received not just an education, but the values of discipline, compassion, and faith that continue to guide our family and our company to this day. Today, they are active members of the Tower Pest Control team, helping to carry forward the mission we started while adding modern, science-driven techniques to our traditional service approach. ⸻ 🏡 Deep Roots in South Florida Our team understands the challenges and expectations of South Florida’s unique climate and environment because we live here. We’ve built long-lasting relationships with local families, schools, houses of worship, property managers, and government agencies. We believe in protecting more than just buildings—we protect peace of mind, public health, and the well-being of the communities we call home. Our Catholic faith, strong family values, and commitment to honesty have shaped every decision we’ve made. It’s why many of our clients have stayed with us for decades, and why they refer us to friends, neighbors, and future generations. ⸻ 🐜 Termite Control: Shielding Your Property from Hidden Threats South Florida’s warm, humid environment is ideal for termites—making proactive termite control essential. Whether it’s subterranean termites tunneling underground or drywood termites nesting in attics and beams, we bring decades of expertise to every inspection and treatment. Our termite services include: • Subterranean Termite Bait Systems (including Sentricon® Always Active™) • Liquid Treatments (e.g., Termidor®) for barrier protection • Drywood Termite Fumigations • Spot Treatments for No-Tent Solutions • Pre-Construction Soil Treatments • Full WDO Reports (Wood Destroying Organism) for real estate • Annual Monitoring & Maintenance Plans We understand that your home is your biggest investment—and we treat it with the same care and urgency as we would our own. ⸻ 🦎 Iguana Control: Leading the Fight Against Invasive Species As iguana populations explode across South Florida, property owners face a growing list of problems: destroyed landscaping, eroded seawalls, droppings on walkways and patios, and safety concerns around electrical equipment and rooftops. Tower Pest Control has been at the forefront of iguana mitigation since this issue emerged—and today, we offer some of the most comprehensive and humane iguana control programs in the industry. Our trained wildlife specialists offer: • Live trapping and removal (FWC-compliant) • Custom exclusion solutions • On-site population assessments • Long-term maintenance plans • Education and prevention strategies for property managers and HOAs We’ve provided iguana services to everything from luxury condominiums and golf courses to public parks, schools, and government facilities. ⸻ 🐭 Full-Service General Pest Control Whether you’re battling ants in the kitchen, roaches in a breakroom, rodents in a crawlspace, or mosquitoes outdoors, Tower Pest Control brings a smart, tailored approach to every pest problem. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Our services are guided by Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles—emphasizing prevention, targeted treatments, and minimal environmental impact. Our general pest services include: • Roach, ant, and spider control • Rodent exclusion and baiting • Mosquito abatement • Wasp and bee nest removal • Flea and tick treatments • Bed bug inspections and heat/chemical treatments Whether it’s a small residential property or a large commercial account, we customize every service plan to meet the unique needs of the space and its occupants. ⸻ 🧪 Science-Based, People-Focused We pride ourselves on staying current with the latest pest control technology and research. Our technicians undergo continuous training and are fully licensed and insured. We use state-of-the-art products and data-driven strategies—but we never lose sight of what matters most: our people. From scheduling to service delivery, our goal is to be dependable, transparent, and respectful. We show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat every customer like family—because many of you are. ⸻ 💒 Faith, Family, and a Commitment to Excellence As a company founded and operated by a devout Catholic family, our values are present in everything we do—from how we treat our employees to how we care for our clients. Our children’s education at Immaculate Conception School helped shape the moral compass of our business, and we are forever grateful to that community for its impact on our family. Tower Pest Control remains proudly independent, family-run, and community-minded. We are not a franchise or a large corporation. Our reputation has been built on word of mouth, honesty, and results. ⸻ 🌟 Why Choose Tower Pest Control? • ✔️ Over 30 years of proven experience • ✔️ Fully licensed and insured • ✔️ Family-owned, faith-driven, and locally rooted • ✔️ Specializing in termite, iguana, and general pest control • ✔️ Serving residential, commercial, and government clients • ✔️ Responsive, personalized customer service • ✔️ Proud supporters of local schools, parishes, and youth programs ⸻ 📞 Let’s Tower Above the Rest—Together At Tower Pest Control, we’re more than exterminators—we’re partners in protecting what matters most.
