Weeds grow up quickly in Florida. They can be a problem for a snowbird or sunbird who owns property here. First, it’s not easy to get someone to spray or pull weeds. I know because we are a sunbird and spend a month or two up north in the summer. Sometimes you can work with a good neighbor to do it for you. Of course, you make it worth their time. A snowbird might be gone six months or longer. Additionally, some lawn companies will take care of the weeds but my experience is most don’t want to fool with weeds. Weeds are a problem you have stay on top to get it done. I always get a “house watch person” , friend or neighbor who has my number and a key when I’m gone. Things can happen even if you leave for a two or three week vacation. Sometimes a mowing company will just suddenly go out of business or your air conditioner goes out that’s when you really need a neighbor or a house watch to have your key and phone number. You can check around your neighborhood to see if someone has this neighbors number and have them called. Some people are very “private” until you get to know them better and you mentioned you just moved to The Villages. Good luck.
