Ocoee is a west Orange County city on SR 50 and the Florida's Turnpike corridor, with 1990s to 2010s subdivisions and townhomes. Call (855) 974-4733 to reach a local technician who can plan around slab homes and retention-pond yards.
Ocoee is a west Orange County city on SR 50 and the Florida's Turnpike corridor. Most of its housing is subdivisions and townhomes built from the 1990s into the 2010s, many on slab-on-grade foundations and many with retention ponds at their edges. That makes the slab, the ant trail and the yard the first things a technician looks at.
Ponds are part of the design, so they come up on most calls. They are not where the Aedes mosquitoes breed, though. Those species use small containers close to the house, so an Ocoee yard check starts with containers, moves to the slab edge, and then follows any ant trails along it.
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.
A slab home has no crawlspace, so the inspection looks at the slab edge, the utility penetrations and any wood meeting the ground at the perimeter. Subterranean termites are found statewide, according to UF/IFAS, so a newer slab is not automatically outside the risk.
Ask the builder or seller whether a pre-construction treatment was done, and ask for the record. A sale report is still needed when the transaction calls for one, and it must come from a qualified person under Chapter 482, Florida Statutes, on FDACS Form 13645.
Ant trails along a slab edge are worth tracing to their source, and the species decides the plan. Red imported fire ants are established in Florida, and their soil mounds rarely pass about 18 inches across.
UF/IFAS records the tawny crazy ant in 27 Florida counties, and a 2012 county list included Orange County, where Ocoee sits.
Not the ones the county monitors. Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus breed in small containers close to homes, not in lakes or retention ponds, and both bite by day.
On a townhome lot that means checking patio planters, pool-deck pots and gutters before the technician arrives, since those are the containers that hold water.
From roughly June to September, daily storms leave standing water in ponds, gutters and planters, and ants move indoors after rain. Winged termites are usually seen from March through June, and a swarm does not prove an infestation alone, according to UF/IFAS.
Mild winters follow, and roof rats breed year-round, so the attic and soffit check continues outside the wet months.
