Conway is a southeast Orlando area of lakefront houses from several eras, with mature trees and docks. Call (855) 974-4733 to reach a local technician for a lake-edge home where roof rats, drywood termites and container mosquitoes are the usual questions.
Houses in Conway sit along a chain of lakes and span several decades, so the mix of roofs, docks and trees is more varied than a single subdivision. Tall trees and water edges give rodents and insects cover, and the older lakeside homes are where the questions get specific.
This page does not name individual lakes or local rules, because none were sourced for this area. It describes the pattern instead: roof rats moving along branches into attics, drywood termites in wood that touches no soil, and mosquitoes that breed in containers in a yard rather than in the water.
Orlando's hot, humid summers, daily-storm wet season and mild winters decide what is active: winged termites in spring, container mosquitoes and ants after rain, and roof rats in attics in every month.
UF/IFAS calls the roof rat the worst and most abundant rodent pest in Florida, and says the Norway rat is rare there. Roof rats are climbers. They use attics, soffits and hollow walls, and an adult is about 12 to 14 inches long with a tail longer than its body.
A tree that overhangs the roof is a route in, so the inspection starts at the eaves and the attic. A hollowed fruit with a quarter-sized hole is a classic sign, and roof rats breed through the year, so the work does not wait for winter.
Drywood termites live in the wood they eat and do not need contact with soil. A lakeside house with wooden decking, trim or framing can host them even when the ground around it looks clean, so the inspection covers the wood above grade as well as the foundation.
UF/IFAS names the West Indian drywood termite as the main drywood species in Florida. A winged swarm seen in spring is a reason for identification, not proof of damage.
Usually not. Orange County Mosquito Control monitors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, and both breed in small containers close to homes rather than in lakes or retention ponds. A bird bath, a dog bowl or a clogged gutter can produce more mosquitoes than the water itself.
Both species bite during the day, so a morning check of the yard is as useful as one in the evening. Emptying containers is the first step a homeowner can take alone.
From roughly June to September the wet season brings daily storms, and ants move indoors after rain. Mild winters follow, though mosquito and ant pressure may linger into October and November in mild weather.
Give the technician the house's age, the roof style and whether trees touch the roof. Those answers say more about where to start than any general seasonal guide.

Both can be needed. Roof rats are checked from the eaves and the attic, and drywood termites in the wood above the foundation. Call (855) 974-4733 and describe the roofline and any trees touching it.
Usually the breeding happens in containers at the house. Empty and clean containers in the yard, and cover any water you store.
Keep one insect in a sealed container, note the date and where it was found, and have it identified before any treatment is chosen.
Ask for its licence details and check them with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. This page makes no claim about any company's licence.
No. The price is confirmed on site after the technician has seen the house.
