Restaurant leads for pest control companies in Florida
How do pest control companies get restaurant accounts? Call the restaurants the state just cited for live roaches, rodents or flies. In the last 30 days Florida inspectors cited 933 restaurants for it, and 684 ended in a warning or worse.
The best time to call a restaurant
Right after the state cites it. The owner has a problem on paper, an inspector coming back, and a reason to answer a call from someone who can fix it. The citation list tells you who needs you this week, before a competitor calls them.
What the state cites
Florida inspectors record pests under violation category 35A: live roaches, rodent droppings, flies and other insects seen during the visit.
How to use the list
Call the same week. A restaurant with a warning has a date to correct it and the state comes back to check, so the owner needs a service that can come out now and leave a written service report for the next inspection.
Where the most citations were this month

Questions
How do pest control companies get restaurant accounts?
Call restaurants right after a state inspection cites them for live roaches, rodents or flies. We send you those restaurants every weekday morning with the inspector's words, the phone number from the state license file and a link to the report.
Where does the data come from?
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation publishes every restaurant inspection, new license, plan review and ownership change. We read every new report, cross-check each record against the state license file and our own database of 69,000 licensed restaurants, and drop anything we cannot verify.
How fresh are the leads?
We scan the state's records every two hours on weekdays. The state posts an inspection two to four business days after the visit, and it reaches your list the morning after it appears.
How much does it cost?
Start with 15 free leads from your counties, no card. The daily list is $149 a month for up to three counties, or $449 a month for the whole state. A one-county 30-day spreadsheet is $19.
Do you contact the restaurants?
No. We never contact the restaurants and we do not sell to them. You get the record, the phone number from the state license file and a link to the state's report.
