We’ve had lots of hornet and wasp questions this week, so here’s a quick guide from our Associate Certified Entomologist , Jerry Schappert.

Some are defensive, some are just dramatic, and some are just misunderstood lawn monsters.

When in doubt, snap a photo from a safe distance and give us a call. We will help determine what you’re dealing with and if treatment is required.

Just last week, one of our most valued customers had a remarkable experience with an unexpected fly infestation at her home, which ultimately turned into a triumphant tale of detection!

She sent us a picture, one of the most impressive pest photos we've ever had the pleasure of reviewing, and our team expertly identified the issue - bottle flies.

It turns out these incredible creatures are drawn to decaying flesh with an affinity rivaled only by the most determined zombie apocalypse survivors. As it happens, her husband had gutted some fish and disposed of the leftovers in the woods behind their house, and voilà, mystery solved with expertise and finesse!

The inclement weather has been a common topic of conversation, and it's likely you've exclaimed 'we really needed this' repeatedly this week. The rain, while beneficial, is also driving pests out of their dry shelters and into your homes and workplaces, resulting in numerous calls to our team. Our role extends beyond pest control; we're committed to providing you with accurate information and reassurance about whether treatment is necessary or if the pests will disappear on their own soon.

Termite swarm season is here in Central Florida 🐜☀️

Every spring, Formosan termite swarms become more active around Ocala and surrounding areas due to warmer temperatures and humidity. While seeing swarmers indoors can be alarming, it doesn’t always mean your home has an active infestation.

At The Bug Doctor, we believe in educating homeowners while providing trusted protection and peace of mind. Our team is here to inspect, prevent, and treat termite issues before they become costly problems. 🏡

If you’ve noticed swarmers around your home, don’t panic — give our team a call today!
