What we treat

Exterminator Services We Offer in Orlando

Termites, Palmetto Bugs and Mosquitoes in Orlando's Lake Neighborhoods

Formosan and native subterranean termites

Subterranean Termite Control in Orlando

University of Florida termite records show Formosan subterranean termites collected at dozens of spots in and around Orlando, alongside the native Reticulitermes species found statewide. Formosan colonies can reach several million termites and also hollow out live trees. Both kinds come up from the soil through mud tubes. Florida lets companies exclude Formosan termites from contract warranties, so read yours closely before you renew.

West Indian drywood termites

Drywood Termite Control in Orlando

Drywood termites need no soil contact. Cryptotermes brevis lives inside dry, protected wood in houses and furniture, and UF/IFAS says the biggest infestations turn up in older buildings in Florida's southern half. Samples have come from this city too. Watch for small piles of hexagonal pellets that the colony shoves out through pin-size holes. UF/IFAS calls fumigation highly effective, a reset for the whole structure.

American and Florida woods cockroaches

Cockroach Control in Orlando

"Palmetto bug" covers more than one insect. The American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, averages 1.5 inches long and lives mainly in sewers and drains, plus hollow trees, woodpiles and mulch. Heavy rain tends to push it indoors, up through plumbing or off limbs that touch the roof. Its cousin Eurycotis floridana, the Florida woods cockroach, is a slow, flightless roach with a smelly defensive spray, and firewood is its usual ticket inside.

Lake and container mosquitoes

Mosquito Control in Orlando

Hundreds of lakes make mosquitoes a fact of summer. Orange County Mosquito Control runs its own laboratory, samples sentinel chicken coops every week for West Nile and other viruses, and gives residents free Gambusia fish for ponds that lack them. Its advice is short: tip out standing water, toss old tires and pots, and cover up. The Asian tiger mosquito lays eggs in exactly those containers and feeds in daylight.

Ghost ants

Ant Control in Orlando

UF/IFAS maps the ghost ant mostly from Sarasota to Orlando and south, which puts this city at the edge of its main range. Workers measure about a millimeter and a half, dark at the head and milky pale behind, so they seem to vanish on a light countertop. They trail to sweets in kitchens and bathrooms and smell of rotten coconut when crushed. Colonies keep many queens, one reason baits outperform sprays.

Pest control treatment in Orlando, FL

Seasonal Pest Control in Orlando

  1. Dry season, November to April

    The cooler, drier months are when native subterranean termites take flight: UF/IFAS puts eastern subterranean swarms between early January and April, on warm, still afternoons after rain. It is also the easiest time to fix grading, gutters and sprinkler heads that keep soil wet against the house.

  2. Swarm weeks, April to June

    Formosan subterranean termites take wing at dusk from the first weeks of April through the end of June, busiest in May, and head for lights. Drywood termites and winged carpenter ants are out in the same weeks, so save a few specimens in a jar: telling ant from termite decides what happens next. Lovebugs make their first flight in April and May.

  3. Rainy season, May to late October

    Most of the city's roughly 51 inches of yearly rain falls from June through September. Standing water turns into mosquitoes, American cockroaches come indoors after downpours, and southern chinch bug damage in St. Augustinegrass peaks in early July. Lovebugs return in August and September, the same months UF/IFAS lists for the largest adult flea populations.

Orlando Pest Control FAQ

Looking for pest control near you in Orlando? Call (512) 561-7451 or request a free estimate.

Are there Formosan termites in Orlando?

Yes. UF's online termite map, which plots where each species has been collected, shows many Formosan subterranean termite records in Orlando and the rest of Orange County. UF/IFAS describes the species as established in coastal cities and some large cities of central and northern Florida. Any mud tube on a foundation deserves an inspection.

What is a palmetto bug in Orlando?

It is a nickname, not one species. UF/IFAS applies it to the large outdoor cockroaches: the American, Australian, brown and smokybrown, all 1.25 to 2 inches long. They live in leaf litter, mulch, tree holes and palms, wander indoors and survive poorly there, so sealing gaps and thinning mulch usually does more than spraying.

Who do I call about mosquitoes in Orlando?

Orange County Mosquito Control is the public program. Residents reach it by dialing 311 and asking for Mosquito Control. In your own yard, we can treat shaded resting sites and help you find the buckets, saucers, gutters and tarps that hold water between storms.

Does pest service in Orlando cover Formosan termites?

We treat subterranean termites, and Formosan colonies are among the species found in and around Orlando. Because contract terms can exclude Formosan termites, read any warranty you hold carefully. Our inspection tells you what is active in your wood, and the free estimate lays out recommended steps.

How much is a plan for an Orlando home?

Prices begin at $57. Home size, age and the pests found set the final price, and a free estimate, available at (512) 561-7451 or on our website, settles it. We pick eco-friendly products whether the house is a 1920s bungalow or a Lake Nona build, and we explain what we find.

Can you handle commercial properties in Orlando?

Yes, from offices and restaurants to retail and multi-unit properties. In a city with hundreds of lakes, we also look at water near the building, plus drains, dumpsters and landscaping, because those are where roaches, ants and mosquitoes find what they need.

Is a termite inspection needed when selling an Orlando house from the boom years?

It is a good idea. Houses from the 1920s land boom have had a century to pick up moisture damage or drywood termites. Our termite and pest inspection documents what is there before listing, so you can address issues early and buyers see a plain record.

Orlando, Florida

Why Orlando Is a Hotspot for Pests

Orlando spreads across flat, wet ground dotted with lakes, from century-old streets near Lake Eola to new construction at Lake Nona. Water, old wood and a rainy season lasting from May to late October decide which pests show up.

Orlando is the Orange County seat and Florida's most populous inland city, home to 307,573 people at the 2020 census. Its 115 neighborhoods sit on low, flat land broken up by lakes and swamps. The oldest ring Lake Eola and reach north into College Park, where century-old oaks line brick streets, and dozens more went up near downtown in the 1920s land boom.

That history shapes a pest plan. A house from the boom years has had a century in which to pick up moisture damage or drywood termites. A home in Baldwin Park, built on the old Naval Training Center starting in 2003, or in Lake Nona is more likely to see ants, lawn pests and mosquitoes off the nearest pond. So we start with the building's age, its trees and its water.

What Makes Orlando Different for Pest Control

Century-old streets and new lake communities need different care

Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Orlando details that shape every plan we write here.

  1. Near Lake Eola, in Thornton Park and up through College Park, houses are among the oldest in Orlando and century-old oaks line the streets. Where limbs reach a roof they carry cockroaches and roof rats to the eaves, so trimming them back matters as much as any treatment. We also check window and door frames for moisture and look for drywood pellets.

  2. If your newer home in Baldwin Park, Lake Nona or MetroWest has irrigated turf and mulched beds against the wall, the risk shifts to the ground. UF/IFAS advises keeping mulch under two inches deep within a foot of the foundation and leaving about six inches of visible inspection space below the siding. We aim sprinkler heads away from walls and treat only where activity shows.
