Brand-new homes with ancient pest problems

Lake Nona is the metro's great construction story — and construction is a pest event. The ranchland being developed was home to fire ant colonies, rodents, and wildlife for decades. Grading destroys their territory, and the survivors do the rational thing: move into the nearest standing structures. New Lake Nona homeowners routinely meet ants in the kitchen within weeks of move-in, fire ant mounds in sod that is still taking root, and rodents probing the fresh rooflines.

New construction has its own gaps too — and they are not defects, just reality. Concrete shrinkage cracks, utility penetrations sealed hastily, weep holes, garage door perimeters: all standard entry points that pests find before the homeowner finishes unpacking. Builder warranties cover workmanship, not pest exclusion.

New-home pest commissioning

We treat new Lake Nona homes like systems being commissioned: full exclusion audit of every penetration and gap, colony-targeted ant treatment for the displaced populations, fire ant yard programs, and rodent monitoring at the roofline. Get the defense right in year one and the home stays ahead of the pressure as the neighborhood matures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our home is six months old and we already have ants. Is something wrong with the build?

No — it is the disturbed ranchland, not the construction. Development displaces entire ant colonies into the nearest homes. Colony-targeted bait treatment resolves it.

Does the builder's warranty cover pest entry points?

Generally no — warranties cover defects in workmanship and materials, not pest exclusion. Standard construction gaps (weep holes, penetrations, shrinkage cracks) are normal and need pest-focused sealing.

Fire ants are in our new sod. What do we do?

Mound treatment now, plus a seasonal yard program. Former ranchland is prime fire ant territory — staying ahead of it beats chasing mounds all summer.
