WQBQ Talk Track: Why Proactive Pest Control Matters for Mount Dora Homes and Businesses with Orkin

The Chamber, The “Q,” and You on WQBQ is a free on-air opportunity for Chamber members to share upcoming events, highlight their services, and connect directly with the community. 

In Central Florida, pests aren’t just a seasonal inconvenience — they’re a year-round reality. That’s why proactive pest control is essential for protecting homes, businesses, and reputations across the Mount Dora community.

During a recent episode of The Chamber, The “Q,” and You on WQBQ, James Floyd sat down with Natalie Garrett, a representative from Orkin and a valued member of the Mount Dora Area Chamber of Commerce, to discuss why prevention — not reaction — is the key to effective pest management.

Orkin provides residential and commercial pest control services, handling everything from common household pests like ants and roaches to more complex issues such as termites, rodents, and mosquitoes. Natalie Garrett explained that Orkin’s approach is rooted in science, ongoing technician training, and customized treatment plans designed to meet each property’s unique needs.

For businesses, pest control goes far beyond comfort. Restaurants, offices, medical facilities, and retail spaces rely on proactive services to protect customers, employees, and their brand reputation. Waiting until a pest problem is visible can lead to higher costs, property damage, and operational disruptions.

Florida’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for pests to thrive year-round. Regular inspections and preventative treatments help catch issues early, reducing long-term risk and providing peace of mind for both homeowners and business owners.

Natalie also highlighted the importance of Orkin’s involvement with the Mount Dora Area Chamber of Commerce. Being part of the Chamber allows Orkin to connect with local business owners, build trusted relationships, and stay engaged in the community they serve.

For Mount Dora residents and businesses alike, proactive pest control isn’t just about eliminating pests — it’s about protecting what matters most. Visit orkin.com for more information.
