Pest control in Lake Mary often comes down to lawns and landscaping. Irrigated yards, dense shrubs and mulch beds around newer homes give ghost ants, fire ants and palmetto bugs steady water and cover.
Central Florida has established Formosan termite populations. Formosan swarmers fly to porch lights and lit windows on humid evenings from late April to June. Seeing a swarm outside is common, but swarmers indoors call for an inspection.
Many Lake Mary homes sit near lakes and wetlands that drain toward the Wekiva and St. Johns rivers. Lakeside lots see more mosquitoes, midges and the spiders that feed on them.
