Country living, country pests
Gotha is one of the last rural pockets of the Orlando area — citrus groves, large lots, and a slower pace. The pest profile matches: roof rats thriving in the citrus, fire ants across open ground, mosquitoes off Lake Hiawassee and the area's ponds, and the wildlife pressure that comes with living next to actual habitat.
What Gotha properties face
Roof rats in citrus. This is ground zero for Central Florida roof rats — citrus groves feed them year-round, and they nest in attics and outbuildings. Exclusion plus grove-edge management is the long-term answer.
Fire ants on acreage. Open sandy ground grows mounds fast. We treat the home zone and high-traffic areas rather than blanketing acres.
Mosquitoes. Lake Hiawassee, ponds, and low areas — plus the irrigation of grove land. Seasonal programs for the home zone.
Wildlife-adjacent pests. Armadillo-dug yards invite follow-on pests; raccoons in outbuildings bring fleas and ticks. We handle the insect and rodent side and coordinate on the wildlife.
Well water and groves
Many Gotha properties are on well water with septic systems — our inspections account for both, keeping treatments appropriately placed around wells, drain fields, and grove irrigation. Tell us about your setup on the form.
