Yes, along with 3000 others in Charlotte County and 20,000 in SW Florida. Hurricanes? It's not if, it is when. Be prepared, don't be stupid and try riding one out. Termites? They swarm to light in May - don’t have beacon on for them. Also just treat preventatively. Cockroaches? Who doesn’t want to be in paradise - treat for them, you will see them, especially after rains, don’t feed them. Mosquitoes? 200 species across US- Florida is home to over 80. Who doesn’t want to be in paradise. Enjoy this big lanai!! Snakes - Again paradise, learn species, many varieties are harmless, other than increasing your heart rate, and are beneficial.
