If you were a customer of either of the termite treatment companies owned by Michael J. Miske, Jr., it looks like you’ll have to find a new pest control provider.

A check of state professional and vocational licensing records shows Miske’s two termite companies have lost their licenses and are no long legally able to provide services.

Miske was arrested on July 15, 2020 as the alleged ringleader of a violent criminal gang, and now faces multiple federal charges including kidnapping, murder, and drug trafficking. Ten other men were also charged along with Miske as being part of a racketeering conspiracy or taking part in one or more of the group’s past crimes.

Federal prosecutors allege Kama’aina Termite and Pest Control was legitimate business. “but also served as a headquarters for the planning of criminal activities, the laundering of illicit proceeds, and the fraudulent “employment” of individuals whose “work” consisted of engaging in acts of violence or fraud on behalf of the Miske Enterprise.”

Kama’aina Termite was first licensed in October 2000. The state’s licensing division website now indicates: “License is expired unable to practice”.

The same notice appears for Oahu Termite, which Miske took over from its original owners several years ago.
