"We Get What Bugs You — honest, thorough pest control for Tavares and the surrounding Lake County communities. Family owned and Florida licensed."
Tavares is the seat of Lake County and proudly bills itself as "America's Seaplane City" — a lively waterfront town built around Lake Dora and the chain of lakes, complete with a bustling seaplane base, a lakefront entertainment district, and a steady stream of festivals and events. Surrounded by water on nearly every side, Tavares blends a vibrant, growing downtown with established neighborhoods and newer waterfront developments. Life here revolves around the lakes — and so, unfortunately, do the pests.
Few places in the area are as surrounded by water as Tavares, and all that moisture creates intense, year-round pest pressure. The constant humidity fuels termites and draws mosquitoes in force, while ants and roaches stay active in every season. Waterfront homes, docks, boathouses, and screened enclosures give wood-destroying pests plenty to feed on, and the lakeshore brings rodents and wildlife right up to the doorstep. In a waterfront town like Tavares, moisture-driven pests are a constant.
For Tavares homeowners, protecting a waterfront or lakeside property means treating it thoroughly and knowing where moisture-loving pests hide. Termites can quietly damage decks, docks, and a home's structure, mosquitoes and roaches thrive in the humidity, and rodents or wildlife will look for any way into an attic or crawl space. The right treatment — plus addressing moisture issues and sealing entry points — protects both your home and your enjoyment of the water.

"We had a very difficult time with the Asian roaches and tried getting rid of them with everything we could, to no avail. Contacted Mike and he came to our rescue! It took a couple of visits, which he came over very timely, inspected and treated both inside and out, and he killed those suckers — we've had no further problems! Thank you so much, you're the BEST!!"

They can be. Tavares is surrounded by water, and the constant moisture keeps humidity high — which fuels termites and draws mosquitoes — while docks, boathouses, and screened enclosures give wood-destroying pests more to feed on. Staying ahead of termites and moisture-driven pests is especially important here.
