Pest control in Sebring often starts with homes that sit empty part of the year. Many owners leave for the summer, and closed houses give roaches, rodents and ants months without anyone noticing.
Citrus groves still border much of Highlands County. Roof rats nest in the trees and feed on fruit, then move into attics and garages nearby. Fallen fruit in a yard is a rat magnet.
Sebring wraps around Lake Jackson and several smaller lakes. Lakefront homes see more mosquitoes, midges and spiders, and the sandy ridge soil suits fire ants and subterranean termites.
