What To Know About Pests In Orlando
Orlando has more than 100 lakes inside the city alone, and that shapes the pest calendar. Mosquitoes breed along the shorelines, and in spring and fall clouds of non-biting midges (locals call them blind mosquitoes) swarm off the lakes and cover screens, cars and porch lights.
Then there’s tourism. Hotels, timeshares and short-term rentals around International Drive and Kissimmee move bed bugs in and out of the area constantly. A rental owner who skips inspections between guests usually finds out the hard way.
When Pests Are Most Active In Orlando
- Spring
- Termites swarm after the first warm rains. Blind mosquitoes rise off the lakes, and lovebugs arrive in May.
- Summer
- Afternoon storms every day. Mosquitoes, fire ants and palmetto bugs are at their worst.
- Fall
- Lovebugs return in September. Midges swarm again near lakes, and rodents look for shelter.
- Winter
- Mild and dry. Roaches and rodents stay active indoors, and it’s a good time to book termite inspections.

When You Can Skip The Pro In Orlando
Blind mosquitoes don’t bite and don’t need pest control. Switch porch lights to yellow bulbs and they’ll mostly leave you alone.
Bed bugs in a rental, fire ants near where kids play, and termites are worth a pro. DIY sprays tend to spread bed bugs to more rooms.

Orlando Pest Control FAQs
Send us a message about your Orlando pest question, and add a photo if you can.
What are the tiny flies swarming near Orlando lakes?
Usually blind mosquitoes, a type of non-biting midge. They hatch in the lakes in big numbers in spring and fall.
They don’t bite or spread disease. Yellow porch bulbs and closed screens help. Pest treatment won’t do much for them.
How do vacation rental owners in Kissimmee handle bed bugs?
Most set up inspections between guests or on a regular schedule, and treat right away when something shows up.
Heat treatment can clear a unit in one day, which keeps the booking calendar open.
Who handles mosquito control in Orange County?
Orange County Mosquito Control runs inspections and spraying, and residents can request service.
On your property, dump standing water weekly and keep gutters clear during the rainy season.
Do I need termite protection in Orlando?
Yes, for most homes. Subterranean termites are active across Orange County, and Formosan termites are spreading in Central Florida.
Bait stations or a soil treatment are the usual choices. Ask how long the warranty runs.
Can my kids and dog be around after a treatment?
Yes. Licensed techs use products labeled for homes, and treated areas are fine once they dry in a couple of hours.
Fire ant bait goes on the lawn, so keep pets inside during application.
