subject: Doing Pest Control In Ocala, Florida [print this page] It is said that Ocala Florida is the horse and lightning capital of the world. Thousands of rolling acres are devoted to equine farms and when storms arise just as many lightning strikes can hit in a single storm. There is something else that Ocala is noted for but you won't see it on any tourists brochure or the chamber of commerce web site. Insects by the billions call Ocala home and infest our homes and property. Our sub tropical environment makes it a perfect place for pests to thrive and residents have been battling these bugs since the first home was ever built.
Jobs in pest control are also plentiful around Ocala and you can often see small bug trucks whisking across town on their way to the next appointment. So many pest control companies call Ocala home and the competition is stiff for new ones just staring out. Still with the lure of constant work and high demand new outfits are started every year even though many will not make it.
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.
Services vary from company to company and strict rules are in place to assure a minimum standard. Each company has to have a certified operator for each category they offer and technicians need verifiable training each year to remain current. These guidelines were set to keep fly by nights from engaging in pest control activity and thereby protecting the consumer.
Doing pest control in Ocala is far different than in other parts of the United States. Attention to details and proper identification of the pest in question may be all that stands between a pest free home or being over run. Insects here come in so many sizes and can look so much alike that only someone with training can tell the difference and then put down the correct product that will get rid of them. Still, few companies offer complete elimination with only one or even just a couple services. The populations are to big to be so bold. On going treatments is the best advice most will give you and they'll usually only go so far as to say it's pest control in Ocala, not elimination.
