COMMERCIAL PEST CONTROL / SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
Occupied units. Busy kitchens. Owners, inspectors, and residents who all expect answers. State Shield brings a commercial pest management background to properties across Southwest Florida: a defined process, a record of every visit, and service on a schedule you can plan around.
FREEApartment communities: your first service is on us
INDUSTRIES SERVED
Every commercial property runs on its own schedule, access rules, and standards. Service is planned around yours, not the other way around.
Shared walls, occupied units, resident schedules, and a leasing office that needs answers. Multi-family is one of the most demanding accounts in pest control, and it is where State Shield focuses first.
Your first service is freeKitchens, drains, dry storage, and dumpster pads give pests everything they need. Service is built around your prep and service hours, with records ready for your next health inspection.
Customers and staff should not have to think about pest control. Visits are planned around your hours and the way your space is used.
Termite pre-treatment that keeps pace with your build, coordinated with your timeline and documented for your project file.

CheckpointSelected areaGap or penetration
The pad, enclosure walls, gates, and drainage around the bins. We look for rodent burrows and runways, roach and fly activity, and note sanitation or damage your team can correct.
Corners, floor drains, door sweeps, and wall gaps. We check for roach and rodent activity, spillage, and moisture, and note door and seal repairs for maintenance.
Soffit vents, gaps at the eaves, and branches touching the roof. We look for rodent entry points and signs of nesting, and flag trim-backs and repairs.
Gaps where supply and drain lines pass through walls and floors, plus the voids behind the range and refrigerator. We inspect under-sink cabinets and flag openings for maintenance to seal.
Light fixtures, ceilings, stairwells, and corners along the path residents walk every day. We check for webbing and insect activity from the parking lot to the front door.
Behind and beneath machines, around drains, dryer vents, and baseboards. We check the warm, damp spots that are easy to miss and note leaks for maintenance.
Where mulch, shrubs, and irrigation meet the slab. We inspect the foundation edge for ant trails and termite signs, and note plants touching the building for your landscape crew.
The spaces residents and prospects see first. Clubhouse kitchens and restrooms, equipment rooms, and the pool deck perimeter can be serviced on the same schedule as your buildings.

STATE SHIELD FIRST SERVICE
Property managers have heard every pitch. This one costs nothing to test: one service at your community, done the State Shield way, before you sign anything.
FOR APARTMENT & MULTI-FAMILY COMMUNITIES
Judge State Shield on what matters for a commercial account: how we communicate before the visit, how the work gets done, and the service record you receive after. If you like what you see, we’ll talk about ongoing service.

WHY COMMERCIAL IS DIFFERENT
The treatment is only part of the job. The rest is process, records, communication, and showing up the same way every time. That is the part commercial clients notice, and the part State Shield is built around.
“Everyone can do residential, but very few companies can handle the complexity of commercial accounts.”
Andrew founded State Shield on a background in commercial pest management. That background sets the standard for every State Shield account, commercial or residential.
5.0★ on Google. Every account is held to the standard behind that rating.
Every account starts with a walkthrough and a defined scope: what gets serviced, where, how often, and what gets monitored between visits.
What was inspected, what was treated, and what needs attention, written down after each visit. Ready when an owner, a regional manager, or an inspector asks.
A direct line to someone who knows your property. Findings go to the people who need them, including conditions your staff can correct.
Service on the agreed schedule, inside the agreed window. The tenth visit is held to the same standard as the first.
PROPERTY MANAGER TOOLKIT
Three one-page documents for community managers and maintenance teams: one for owners, one for residents, one for the make-ready crew.
Who State Shield serves, the State Shield Standard, the First Service offer for apartment communities, and how to verify our license. One page for an owner, a regional manager, or your vendor file.

HOW COMMERCIAL SERVICE STARTS
State Shield walks the property with you: buildings, units, kitchens, storage, and exteriors, plus the conditions that invite pests in. You hear what was found in plain terms.
You get a clear proposal and service scope: what is covered, how often, and when visits happen. Service windows are set around your operation.
Visits happen on schedule, and every one is documented, so you always know what was done and what needs attention next.
