Jobe Pest Services LLC covers Lakeland Highlands, about 55 min (38 mi) from our Wimauma base. Lakeland Highlands is south Lakeland neighborhoods around Scott Lake, built on former citrus groves along Lakeland Highlands Road. The grove edges bring rodents and fire ants, and Scott Lake adds mosquito pressure.

What Lakeland Highlands homes and businesses face

About 55 minutes from Wimauma.

Scott Lake keeps a reliable supply of standing water beside these neighborhoods, so mosquitoes stay busy along the shaded shore and in yards that run to the water. Downpours top off ditches, ornamental ponds and the low gaps between homes, stretching the biting weeks later into fall. We tend the daytime harborage in the heavy plantings and draw the standing pools down on each parcel, scheduling repeat stops across the wet season so the shore does not leave patios swarming.

Laid out over former citrus groves, Lakeland Highlands still has grove margins that route rodents toward houses when the groves are picked over or the season turns, driving them into garages and attics through narrow gaps. The bright, open ground between tracts favors fire ants, whose mounds spread into lawns and bed lines once rain softens the soil. We join rodent exclusion and indoor monitoring with lawn and perimeter ant work, and a standing exterior barrier keeps the grove land from delivering pests to the door.

Lakeland Highlands pest control questions

Does living near Scott Lake mean more mosquitoes?

Usually. A lake keeps water close to the neighborhood all year, and rain refills the ponds and ditches between treatments, so the bite runs heavier by the shore. We tend the shaded harborage and cut the water they breed in on your lot, then come back through summer so the shoreline stops keeping the yard stocked.

Why are fire ants so bad in these former-grove yards?

Bright, open ground left from the old groves is just what fire ants want, and summer rain drives colonies to raise fresh mounds in sod and bed lines, spreading across a lawn fast. We hit the yard and the perimeter and run an ongoing barrier, so mounds pushing in from the grove land cannot take the lot back.
