Quick question: do you know which pest is actually peaking in your yard right now?

In SWFL, pest pressure shifts with the rain and heat — ants surge after storms, roaches push indoors when it cools, and subterranean termites swarm on humid spring evenings. Knowing what's active beats spraying blind.

Those weird dark green circles in your yard? Not folklore — that's fairy ring fungus feeding on decaying organic matter underground. 🍄 The grass looks lush at the edges because the fungus releases nitrogen as it breaks stuff down. Problem is, the soil underneath turns hydrophobic and water just runs off.

Here's the thing about "sand fleas" in SWFL — they're almost never actual fleas. Those itchy welts after a Siesta Key sunset? Usually no-see-ums (biting midges) that punch above their weight at dusk. The amphipods hopping in the wrack line don't even bite. 🏖️
