Maitland sits on Lake Maitland just north of Winter Park, where I-4 and US 17-92 run past older lakefront homes and newer office and apartment development. Call (855) 974-4733 to reach a local technician who can plan around both settings.
Maitland is a small city north of Winter Park, and its lake gives the older residential streets their character. Interstate 4 and US 17-92 cut through the city, so one side can look very different from the other: lakefront houses and mid-century subdivisions on one, and office and apartment development along the corridors on the other.
The corridors bring their own questions. The newer buildings along them are multi-unit settings, where one unit's problem can reach the next. The lake-edge homes deal with roof rats, ants and mosquitoes under tree cover. This page keeps the two settings apart, because a plan for one does not fit the other.
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.
Lake edges and mature tree cover favour roof rats and ants. UF/IFAS says roof rats use attics, soffits and hollow walls and travel up to about 150 yards for food, so a neighbour's tree can carry them close to your roof.
Mosquitoes are a yard question here. Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus breed in small containers close to houses rather than in the lake, so the first check is the containers on your own property.
In a multi-unit building, a treatment in one unit may not hold if the unit next door is active. Ask the manager which units have reported problems, and whether the building shares walls or a common trash area.
Roaches in those buildings may be the Florida woods cockroach, which UF/IFAS says is mostly outdoors and usually enters by accident, or a species that lives indoors. The identification decides the plan.
Older lakefront homes and mid-century subdivisions have had decades for wood to meet soil and moisture, which is why a sale report matters. A wood-destroying organism inspection for a real-estate transaction must be done by a person qualified under Chapter 482, Florida Statutes, and recorded on FDACS Form 13645.
Winged termites are usually seen across Florida from March through June. UF/IFAS says finding them does not by itself prove an infestation, so a spring swarm is a reason to have the insect identified.
The wet season runs roughly from June to September, with daily storms that leave standing water in gutters and planters. Ants move indoors after rain, and the Aedes mosquitoes that bite by day keep breeding through the wet months.
Winters are mild, so roof rats stay active. Say which side of I-4 or US 17-92 the house sits on when you call, since the buildings and trees differ on each side.

Give the full address when you call. The technician can plan the visit around the house type, the trees and the nearest buildings.
Apartments are treated with the building in view, since a unit next door can affect the result. Call (855) 974-4733 with the number of units.
Empty containers, saucers, rain barrels and gutters on your own property. Aedes mosquitoes breed there rather than in the lake.
