Local conditions
Living in Jacksonville and Duval County
Duval County and the City of Jacksonville have shared one consolidated government since October 1, 1968. Only four Duval County municipalities sit outside the city limits, and Baldwin is one of them.
Both banks of the St. Johns River
Ortega sits on a peninsula off the river’s west bank, and Riverside and Avondale have the river along their east side. Mandarin and Arlington are across the water on the east bank. UF/IFAS notes that every mosquito needs water for its eggs to hatch, so empty containers and other standing water at least weekly.
The Buckman Bridge
The Buckman Bridge crosses the St. Johns River between Mandarin and Orange Park. Mandarin stayed a quiet community until 1970, when the bridge’s construction brought a new wave of development. Honeywell’s serves homes at both ends of the bridge from Middleburg.
Historic districts
The Riverside Historic District, Jacksonville’s first, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, the Avondale Historic District in 1989 and part of Old Ortega in 2004. Honeywell’s offers WDO inspections and termite bait stations for homes of any age.

Florida facts
Southwest Jacksonville pest facts from UF/IFAS
- Formosan subterranean termites occur across Florida, mostly in built-up areas, and swarm from early April to late June, peaking in May.
- Mud tubes are built from soil, droppings and partly digested wood, and UF/IFAS calls them strong evidence of subterranean termites.
- In Florida a mosquito can go from egg to adult in about a week, so empty standing water at least weekly, even a bottle cap’s worth.
- Yard sprays last about one to three weeks, and new mosquitoes fly in from next door, so treatment has to go hand in hand with removing standing water.

Communities
Communities we serve in Southwest Jacksonville
Each of these communities is inside Honeywell’s 40-mile straight-line service area around Middleburg, and most are about 15 to 28 miles away.
Jacksonville Heights
The Jacksonville Heights Civic Club bought the first parcel of a park on Old Middleburg Road in 1955 and gave it to the city in 1974; enlarged since, it is now the 21.2-acre Our Community Club Park.
Argyle Forest
Argyle Forest Park, in the Argyle East Village subdivision just north of Orange Park, was built by the community’s developer, given to the Argyle Athletic Association in 1988 and, apart from its pool complex, handed to the city in 1994.
Mandarin
Mandarin is on the east bank of the St. Johns River, across from Orange Park, and author Harriet Beecher Stowe bought a cottage there in 1867.
Ortega
Roosevelt Boulevard (US 17) splits Ortega, on its peninsula south of downtown, into Old Ortega on the east side and Ortega Forest on the west.
Riverside and Avondale
Riverside was first laid out in 1868 and took in many residents after the Great Fire of 1901, while neighboring Avondale was bought by an investor group in 1920 and developed as an upscale subdivision, with houses mostly in the Mediterranean Revival style.
Arlington
Arlington lies east of downtown across the St. Johns River, is known for mid-century modern houses and is home to the Fort Caroline National Memorial, which marks the site of a French fort from 1564–1565.
Baldwin
Baldwin, first settled in 1846 as Thigpen, is named after Abel Seymour Baldwin, president of a railroad that ran from Lake City to Jacksonville.

FAQ
Southwest Jacksonville pest control questions
Which parts of Jacksonville does Honeywell’s cover?
Honeywell’s Pest Control covers Jacksonville Heights, Argyle Forest, Mandarin, Ortega, Riverside and Avondale, Arlington and Baldwin. Most sit about 15 to 28 miles from our Middleburg base in a straight line, and all are inside the 40-mile service area. If your Duval County street isn’t on that list, call (904) 415-1083 and we’ll check your address.
Is Baldwin covered even though it has its own town government?
Yes. Baldwin kept its own town government when Jacksonville and Duval County consolidated in 1968, but that makes no difference to our service. It sits inside Honeywell’s Pest Control’s 40-mile service area around Middleburg, and we treat homes and businesses there for insects, termites, rodents and more. Call (904) 415-1083.
Can Honeywell’s inspect a historic home in Riverside or Avondale?
Yes. Honeywell’s Pest Control does WDO inspections, which look for termites and other wood-destroying organisms, in Riverside, Avondale, Ortega and the rest of the area. UF/IFAS calls mud tubes strong evidence of subterranean termites and says only live termites confirm an active infestation. Call (904) 415-1083 for a free estimate.
Do mosquito sprays still work if my neighbors have standing water?
Not on their own. UF/IFAS says yard sprays last about one to three weeks and new mosquitoes fly in from next door, so treatment has to go hand in hand with removing standing water. Empty containers weekly, even a bottle cap’s worth. Honeywell’s Pest Control treats shrubs, vines and shady areas with a backpack mister. Call (904) 415-1083.
