Ocala Pest Control

by Dr. Doug Asher on April 30, 2010

Ocala is known as the lightning capital of the world. Apparently it has something to do with the limestone that is in abundance here that attracts so many strikes. Limestone also fortifies the pasture grass in such a way that the benefits to horses is unmatched in all the world as well. While those two distinctions are great to put on any ad there is one that you’ll not see. Ocala Florida is also a bug capital of the world and most find that out soon after moving in. The humidity and constant heat make for a perfect place for almost any bug and they have been bothering Ocala residents since the first home was ever settled.

Pest control work has been around in Ocala since it’s founding and continues to grow as more and more people call this home. Many companies have sprung up over the years but with stiff competition only the strong survive. Each year the yellow pages have many new listings of those who’ll try to make their place in this crowded industry. The following year it’s easy to see that most had to give up the fight.

Ocala’s hot weather and extreme humidity make it perfect for insects to thrive and grow in numbers. In normal years we get afternoon showers from colliding sea breezes which just adds the the bounty. Moisture is a precious thing to any insect and in Ocala it puts the odds in the bugs favor because of the abundance. While bugs truly are in every corner of the world those infestations are usually mild compared to what Ocala sees.

With each bug company you may get a different approach as to how they handle treatments. Special rules are in place however to give the consumer certain standards which they can expect. Training is mandated for all employees from application of pest control to handling spills. Yearly reviews from state agencies keep most companies in line and tends to weed out rogue applicators or those who fly by night.

Treating homes and businesses in Ocala Florida can be a challenge and the good companies are usually up to the task. With training they learn to spot small differences in pests that make all the difference. Ants for example can be different species but look so much alike. Using a certain bait or treatment might work for one but not the other. Having this knowledge sets the professional apart from any do it yourself home owner and helps keep your home pest free. Most companies do agree on one thing and that is one spray once in awhile won’t be enough. Frequent service is often required and so routes are built and technicians come to your home and treat several times per year. This keeps the pest barriers in place and most of the bugs out but with every bug killed in the town of Ocala, there are many more right there, to takes its place.
