Think about it - every house is treated when built, and most are newer build. Almost everyone has retreatments and inspections. If you looked at that link, make sure you turn on ALL the species. Most of the infestations are in Lady Lake and historic section. So there is nowhere for them to go and breed and spread in the newer sections - I would say it is because of the attention to detail and treatment. Otherwise, what stops them spreading in this area and not in Orlando, Apopka, and Crystal River??
