Windermere is a small southwest Orange County town on the Butler Chain of Lakes, with large lakefront and wooded lots. Call (855) 974-4733 to reach a local technician who can work through docks, tree lines and older lakeside houses.
Windermere is a small town in southwest Orange County, and much of it sits among the Butler Chain of Lakes. Its lots are large, often lakefront or wooded, with mature trees and docks, so the grounds are part of the house. That setting tends to bring carpenter ants, roof rats and drywood termites to older lakeside houses.
Large lots mean the work is rarely confined to the foundation. The questions run from the dock and the tree line up to the roof and the attic, and the answers differ from one lot to the next. This page keeps its claims to the general pattern, because the notes confirmed no more than that for this town.
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.
Docks and tree lines give roof rats a route from the water to the roof. UF/IFAS says roof rats use attics, soffits and hollow walls and travel up to about 150 yards for food, so a dock can lead them toward the house.
The check starts at the eaves and the attic. The technician looks at the places where a branch meets the roofline, because that is how a climbing rodent gets up.
Carpenter ants are the ones to name first on a wooded lot, because they nest in damp or hollow wood. A stump, a rotting fence post or a dead tree trunk near the house is a reason to look closer.
Other ants, including tawny crazy ants and red imported fire ants, can share the same lot. Identify the species before treatment, since the plan changes with the ant.
Drywood termites live in the wood they eat and do not need soil contact. A lakeside deck, a porch rail or the trim on an older house can host them while the foundation is clean. UF/IFAS names the West Indian drywood termite as the main species in Florida.
A sale report is the formal check. It has to come from a person qualified under Chapter 482, Florida Statutes, and it is recorded on FDACS Form 13645.
Winged termites are usually seen from March through June, and UF/IFAS says a swarm does not by itself prove an infestation. The wet season from roughly June to September brings daily storms and standing water, which feeds the container mosquitoes that bite by day.
Mild winters follow. Roof rats breed year-round, so the attic and the tree line need checking through the cooler months too.
Large lots often need a general visit that covers the tree line.

They can give rodents and ants a route to the house. Ask the technician to check the dock's area as well as the house.
Usually not. Aedes mosquitoes breed in small containers near homes, so empty the containers on your lot first.
