Pest Control in South Orlando, FL 32806
Our office is on W Grant St, inside 32806. South Orlando is our home turf — same-day visits, technicians who know the streets, and recurring protection built for older homes and oak canopy.
Pest control in 32806 is a different job than in a new-build suburb. South Orlando is made of established neighborhoods — Delaney Park, Lake Cherokee, Lake Copeland, Wadeview Park, Lake Como, SoDo and the Hourglass District — with older block and frame homes, raised wood floors, brick streets and heavy live oak canopy. Those features give roaches, roof rats, termites and ants more places to live and more ways inside.
Thorne Pest Solutions is based at 100 W Grant St, right in 32806. That means short drive times, fast response when something shows up in the kitchen, and technicians who already know which blocks back up to lakes, which streets have the oldest trees, and where palmetto bugs come out after a summer storm.
Every South Orlando service starts with an inspection of the structure, the yard and the roofline, followed by a plain-language plan. Most homeowners choose recurring quarterly or monthly protection, because Central Florida pests never fully go away in winter.
Common Pests in 32806
Cockroaches
Smokybrown and American roaches (palmetto bugs) live in oak leaf litter, mulch and storm drains, then move into older homes through gaps and crawl spaces.
Roof rats
Mature oak and palm canopy touching rooflines gives roof rats a direct path into attics across Delaney Park and Wadeview Park.
Termites
Older wood-frame homes and raised floors are exposed to subterranean and Formosan termites, plus drywood termites in original trim and attics.
Ants
Ghost ants trail indoors along plumbing, while fire ants build in sunny lawns and parkway strips.
Mosquitoes
Lake Como, Lake Davis, Lake Cherokee and Lake Copeland neighborhoods have shaded yards and containers that hold water after afternoon storms.
Spiders
Porches, lanais and exterior lighting on older bungalows collect orb weavers and wolf spiders.
