If you visit or live in Ocala Florida you'll see plenty of both. Something else you'll notice and probably quicker than you wish is the amount of bugs here.

Many companies have sprung up over the years but with stiff competition only the strong survive. Each year the yellow pages have many new listings of those who'll try to make their place in this crowded industry. The following year it's easy to see that most had to give up the fight.

The climate in Ocala allows for many different kinds of bugs to thrive here. Moisture is abundant with frequent summer showers and the humidity is perfect for most insects.
