Seasonal Pest Control Services

Common spring pests in the south include:

  • Ants: With warmer weather, ants become more active and start searching for food. Carpenter ants and fire ants are particularly troublesome, as they can damage wooden structures and deliver painful stings, respectively.
  • Termites: Spring is termite swarming season. Formosan termites, prevalent in the South, can cause significant structural damage to homes.
  • Mosquitoes: As standing water from spring rains provides ideal breeding grounds, mosquito populations begin to rise, posing health risks from diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus.

Our All-in-One Program includes a thorough inspection and treatment for these and other spring pests, ensuring your home remains protected as temperatures rise. 

Common summer pests in the South include:

  • Mosquitoes: Summer is peak mosquito season. Their populations explode, and they become a significant nuisance, particularly around dusk and dawn.
  • Ticks: Increased outdoor activity during the summer increases the risk of tick bites, which can transmit diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
  • Stinging Insects: Wasps, hornets and yellowjackets build nests in and around homes, posing a threat to residents with their painful stings.

Our summer service focuses on managing and eliminating pests through exterior perimeter treatments and spider web removal, keeping your home and yard pest-free.

Common fall pests in the South include:

  • Rodents: Rats and mice start looking for warm places to nest, often finding their way into homes through small cracks and openings.
  • Spiders: Some species of spiders become more visible in the fall as they search for mates. While most are harmless, their presence can be unsettling.
  • Stink Bugs: These pests seek shelter indoors as the weather cools. They can emit a foul odor if disturbed or crushed.

Our fall treatments focus on creating a barrier to prevent these pests from entering your home, providing robust protection against infestations.

Common winter pests in the South include:

  • Rodents: Rodent activity continues into the winter as these pests look for warm places to nest. Mice and rats can cause damage and spread diseases.
  • Termites: Termite activity doesn’t cease in winter. Subterranean termites can remain active year-round, continuing to damage wooden structures.
  • Cockroaches: These resilient pests seek warmth and food indoors, often becoming more noticeable during the colder months.

We monitor your home closely for rodent activity and keep a careful watch for termite activity during the winter, ensuring comprehensive pest control even in the coldest months.

Why Residential Pest Control is Essential 

Pests are more than just a nuisance; they can carry diseases, cause allergies and damage your property. Here are some reasons why hiring a professional residential pest control provider is essential:

Health and Safety

Pests like cockroaches, rodents, and mosquitoes can transmit diseases to humans and pets. Rodents, for instance, carry Hantavirus, Leptospirosis, and Salmonella, while mosquitoes can spread West Nile Virus and Zika Virus. Cockroaches can trigger asthma and allergy symptoms. Effective pest control ensures these pests are eliminated, safeguarding your family’s health.

Prevent Property Damage

Termites, carpenter ants, and rodents can cause extensive damage to your home’s structure and wiring. Termites alone cause billions of dollars in damage annually in the United States. Prompt pest control prevents costly repairs and maintains your home’s integrity.

Peace of Mind

Knowing your home is protected from pests provides peace of mind. Professional pest control offers regular inspections and treatments, ensuring any potential infestations are caught early and dealt with efficiently.

Tips for Preventing
Residential Pest Infestations 

While professional pest control is crucial for dealing with existing pest problems, taking preventive measures can help reduce the risk of future infestations. Here are some tips to keep your home pest free:

1

Maintain
Cleanliness

Pests are attracted to food and shelter. Regularly clean your home, including kitchen counters, floors and storage areas to eliminate potential food sources

2

Seal
Entry Points

Inspect your home for cracks, gaps and holes that pests can use to enter. Seal these entry points with caulk or weather stripping to prevent pests from getting inside.

3

Proper Waste
Management

Dispose of garbage regularly and use tightly sealed bins. This prevents pests from being attracted to food scraps and waste.

4

Store Food
Properly

Keep food in airtight containers and avoid leaving it out in the open. This helps prevent pests such as ants and rodents from accessing your food.

5

Fix Leaks and Moisture Issues

Pests are attracted to moisture. Fix any leaks and ensure your home is well ventilated to reduce humidity levels and eliminate potential water sources.

6

Regular
Services

Schedule regular pest control service (typically on a quarterly basis). Early detection and treatment keeps infestations at bay.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Common Residential Pests
and How to Identify Them

Knowing the signs of a pest infestation can help you take action before the problem becomes severe. Here are some common household pests and how to identify them:

Ants

Ants are small, social insects that can invade your home in search
of food and water. Common signs of an ant infestation include: 

  • Visible Trails: Ants leave pheromone trails to communicate with each other. Look
for lines of ants moving to and from food sources.
  • Nesting Sites: Ants often nest in hidden areas such as wall voids, under floors
and inside appliances. 
  • Food Contamination: Finding ants in your kitchen, pantry or food containers is
a clear sign of infestation.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are nocturnal pests that thrive in warm, humid environments. Signs of a cockroach infestation include:

  • Sightings: Seeing cockroaches, especially during the day, indicates a severe infestation.  
  • Droppings: Cockroach droppings resemble small, dark pellets or coffee grounds and are often found near nesting sites. 
  • Egg Casings: Cockroach egg casings (oothecae) are small, brown and segmented. They can be found in hidden areas such as behind appliances and inside cabinets. 

Rodents

Rodents such as mice and rats can cause significant damage and pose health risks. Signs of a rodent infestation include:

  • Droppings: Rodent droppings are small, dark and pellet-shaped. They are often found near food sources and nesting areas.
  • Gnaw Marks: Rodents gnaw on wood, wires and other materials. Look for chew marks on furniture, walls and electrical cords.
  • Nesting Materials: Rodents use shredded paper, fabric and other materials to build nests. Check for nests in hidden areas such as attics, basements and crawl spaces.  

Termites

Termites are wood-destroying insects that can cause extensive structural damage. Signs of a termite infestation include:

  • Mud Tubes: Termites build mud tubes for travel between their nest and food sources. These tubes are typically found on foundation walls and crawl spaces.
  • Hollow Wood: Termites eat wood from the inside out, leaving a thin veneer on the surface. Tap on wooden structures and listen for hollow sounds.
  • Swarmers: Winged reproductive termites (alates) swarm in the spring and summer. Finding discarded wings near windowsills or entry points is a clear sign of termite activity. 

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood. Signs of a bed bug infestation include:

  • Bite Marks: Bed bug bites often appear as red, itchy welts on exposed skin.
  • Blood Stains: Bed bugs leave small blood stains on sheets and mattresses after feeding.
  • Fecal Spots: Bed bug feces appear as small, dark spots on bedding, furniture and walls.

KEY SERVICES

The Process of Residential Pest Control 

Effective residential pest control involves several key steps, starting with a thorough inspection and followed by targeted treatments and preventive measures. Here is an overview of the process:

Inspection

A comprehensive inspection is the first step in identifying the extent of the infestation and the specific pests involved. Our technicians will inspect your home, including common problem areas such as kitchens, basements, attics and crawl spaces. We will look for signs of pest activity, entry points and potential nesting sites.

Treatment Plan

Based on the inspection findings, we will develop a customized treatment plan that addresses the specific pests and the severity of the infestation. This plan includes targeted treatments to eliminate existing pests and preventive measures to stop future infestations.

Treatment

Our treatment methods vary depending on the type of pest and the extent of the infestation. We use a combination of chemical and non-chemical treatments to ensure effective pest control. Our technicians are trained in the latest techniques and use state-of-the-art equipment to deliver precise treatments

Monitoring and Follow-Up

After the initial treatment, we continue to monitor your home for any signs of termite activity via the annual termite inspection. This inspection will also include looking for conditions conducive to termite infestation, such as soil above grade, leaky gutters and vines growing on the structure.

Prevention

Preventive measures are crucial in maintaining a pest-free home. We provide recommendations on how to keep pests at bay, including proper sanitation practices, sealing entry points and managing moisture levels. By implementing these measures, you can reduce the risk of future infestations.
