Pest pressure in Ocala
Ocala’s long, humid warm season — July highs average 92.0°F and August nights average 72.5°F — is the kind of climate where termites, roaches, and ants stay active most of the year.
Mid-1980s houses with crawl spaces, garages, and irrigation close to the slab give pests plenty of entry points. Pest control in Florida must be done by a company licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
