Jobe Pest Services LLC covers Dover, about 45 min (29 mi) from our Wimauma base. Dover is working farm country — strawberries and foliage nurseries on SR 574 and Sydney Road between Seffner and Plant City. When fields are harvested or cleared, field mice and rats move toward the nearest farmhouses and outbuildings, and the open land is prime fire-ant territory.

What Dover homes and businesses face

About 45 minutes from Wimauma.

Dover is working strawberry and foliage-nursery country, and its pest calendar follows the fields. While crops stand, rats and mice live comfortably in the rows and nursery stock, but the moment a field is picked out or cleared that cover disappears and the rodents move as a group toward the nearest farmhouse, barn or outbuilding. That timing is predictable, so the useful response is to bait and seal those structures ahead of the turnover rather than reacting once the animals are already inside.

The open, sunny ground between plots is prime fire-ant territory, and that matters for anyone living or working among the fields. Fire ants build fast in disturbed, sun-warmed soil and flare up after summer rain, throwing fresh mounds across lawns, equipment yards and nursery edges within days. Their stings make routine outdoor work miserable and can be dangerous to sensitive people. Keeping them down takes treating the active mounds and broadcasting bait over the sunny ground they colonize, since spot-killing a single mound only shifts the nest a few feet.

Dover pest control questions

When are rodents worst on a Dover strawberry farm?

Right around harvest and field clearing. As long as the crop stands, rats and mice stay out in the rows, but once that cover is stripped they head for the closest building for food and shelter. Baiting and sealing barns, outbuildings and the farmhouse before the field turns over keeps that predictable move from becoming an indoor infestation.

Why do fire ants keep coming back in the fields?

Sun-warmed, loose and often-disturbed soil is just what fire ants prefer, and they bounce back fast after rain. Killing one mound usually just pushes the colony a short distance, so new mounds reappear. Lasting control comes from treating the mounds that are active and broadcasting across the stretches where they spread, which clears whole areas at once.
