Jobe Pest Services LLC covers Highland City, about 65 min (43 mi) from our Wimauma base. Highland City sits at the US-98 crossroads between Lakeland and Bartow, where new subdivisions have filled former citrus groves. New construction on former grove land brings fire ants, spiders and the usual new-home roach pressure.

What Highland City homes and businesses face

About 65 minutes from Wimauma.

The new rooftops filling former citrus land along US-98 rest on soil that was open grove not long ago, and that disturbed, sunny earth suits fire ants, which build mounds into fresh sod and children’s play areas. Displaced colonies drift toward the new slabs chasing moisture. We treat yards before the ants settle near walkways and entries and lay a perimeter band, so the raw ground between subdivisions stops seeding one mound after another through the rainy season.

A freshly built house pulls its own pests before the landscaping even fills in. Spiders claim the eaves, garages and bright new exterior fixtures, living off the insects a new home gathers, while roaches slip in through utility penetrations and materials left during the build. We treat the voids, the entryways and the outer envelope on these homes and return on a schedule through the first seasons, so crossroads traffic and bare lots do not keep restocking the structure.

Highland City pest control questions

Why do new Highland City homes get fire ants so fast?

Building on old grove land disturbs established colonies and leaves loose, sunlit soil they move right back into, while fresh sod and irrigation offer the moisture they prefer. Mounds appear quickly in a new yard. We treat the lawn plus the perimeter and keep a standing barrier up, so colonies from the open ground around the subdivision cannot reclaim the property.

Are spiders normal around a brand-new house here?

Yes. New building beside open former-grove land pulls insects to exterior lights and eaves, and spiders follow that food, settling into garages, soffits and doorways within the first seasons. We sweep the webbing, treat the harborage and keep the outer envelope covered so the population does not build back up around your entries.
