What this ZIP means for pests
The in-between age is the risky one for termites. Owners of a brand-new house tend to know their builder's termite paperwork, and owners of an old house tend to assume nothing. A house from around 2000 falls in the gap: old enough for the original protection to have run out, new enough that nobody thinks to check.
Lakefront lots. Nearly a quarter of the ZIP is water, Lake Sheen on the Butler Chain among it. Damp soil and irrigation along the slab favor subterranean termites and keep ant colonies close to the house.
A mix of house types. About 57% of homes are detached; the rest are townhouses, condos and apartments. Detached houses start with the perimeter and the yard; attached units start with the neighbors.

Questions people ask about 32836
We are selling. Will the buyer want a termite inspection? Buyers often ask for one before closing. If something turns up, it is better to know before the buyer's inspector finds it. What the report covers
Mosquitoes are worst right after a storm. Why? Rain fills every container, gutter and plant pocket in the yard, and many of the day-biting species breed in exactly that water within days.
Do I need to tell my HOA before treatment? Some associations have rules about yard work and signage. Check your documents; the treatment itself is between you and the provider.
