Professional Pest Control in Woods & Lakes
Protecting Your Forest Sanctuary
Living in Woods & Lakes means enjoying the best of Florida’s natural beauty—serene lake views, mature oak canopies, and the quiet of the Ocala National Forest. However, being “tucked away” in nature means your home is on the front lines of pest activity. From termites thriving in the wooded landscape to “blind mosquitoes” emerging from the lakefront, your property requires a specialized touch.
At Pest 911, we are experts in rural and lakeside pest management. We understand that a home in Woods & Lakes isn’t just a house; it’s an ecosystem that needs careful, proactive protection to stay comfortable and structuraly sound.
Why Woods & Lakes Homeowners Trust Pest 911
Standard pest control often fails in heavily wooded or waterfront areas. We provide a higher level of defense designed for the 32179 lifestyle.
Forest-Edge Specialists: We specialize in the pests that migrate from the Ocala National Forest, including carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and ticks.
Lakeside Midge & Mosquito Control: We use targeted treatments to manage the seasonal swarms of midges (blind mosquitoes) that congregate on lakeside lanais and siding.
Eco-Conscious Applications: Because many Woods & Lakes properties sit directly on the water or near conservation land, we prioritize products that are effective against pests but mindful of the local environment.
The Pest 911 Guarantee: If pests return between your scheduled services, we’ll return to retreat your home at no additional cost.
Our Specialized Services for Woods & Lakes
1. Forest-Strength Termite Protection
The heavy organic matter and high moisture in Woods & Lakes make it a high-risk area for termites. We offer:
Subterranean Termite Barriers: Creating a long-lasting liquid shield around your foundation.
Drywood Termite Solutions: Specialized “no-tent” options for localized infestations in wood-heavy structures.
Real Estate WDO Inspections: Ensuring your forest retreat remains a solid investment.
2. Rodent & Wildlife Exclusion
Raccoons, squirrels, and roof rats thrive in the dense tree cover of Woods & Lakes. Our exclusion experts seal off rooflines, vents, and crawl spaces to ensure the only residents in your home are the ones you invited.
3. Mosquito, Midge & Tick Defense
Don’t let the bugs drive you indoors. Our programs target the specific resting areas on your property—shaded foliage and eaves—to drastically reduce populations of biting insects and nuisance midges.
4. General Perimeter Pest Shield
We stop pests at the tree line. Our year-round maintenance plans target:
Ants: Including Fire Ants in the lawn and Carpenter Ants seeking wood.
Cockroaches: Expert removal of large “Palmetto bugs” and invasive roaches.
Spiders & Scorpions: Keeping your garage, eaves, and boat storage areas clear and web-free.

We proudly serve the entire 32179 subdivision, including:
Waterfront properties on Lake Placid and surrounding canals

Estates near the Orange Blossom Opry and CR-25

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have so many webs on my siding? The abundance of insects near the water provides a constant food source for spiders. Our regular perimeter service includes “de-webbing” your eaves and lanais while treating the source of the problem.
Is your pest control safe for my lakefront property? Yes. We use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach. This means we use targeted, low-impact products and precision application to ensure we aren’t harming the lake’s ecosystem.
How often should I have my home treated? Because of the intense “pest pressure” from the forest and lakes, we recommend a Bi-Monthly service to maintain a strong, active barrier against year-round invaders.
