About Virginia Pest and Termite Control Companies

In addition to being annoying, pests can be a hazard to your home and your health. If you have a pest problem, call a Best Pick pest control company to get the situation under control.

Pest and termite control professionals can help you identify the type of pest you’re facing as well as the source of the infestation. Then, you and your pro can formulate a plan of attack. You may need both indoor and outdoor treatments as well as repeat visits, since one treatment does not address all stages of a pest’s lifecycle.

Pest Control Services in Northern Virginia

Integrated Pest Management

Consider hiring a professional pest control company that offers Integrated Pest Management (IPM) solutions. IPM is an approach to pest control that focuses on common-sense prevention methods and limited, as-needed pesticide use. IPM programs aim to prevent and eradicate pests using the most appropriate, safest solutions available.

Both pests and pesticides can aggravate allergies and asthma. Using IPM reduces the amount of pesticides your family is exposed to, while also reducing the number of pests in your home.

Indoor pest control treatments

When treating for pests indoors, pest control professionals typically use products like baits, gels, granules, or dust. Aerosol sprays are more likely to get on humans and pets, so they’re less commonly used for indoor treatments nowadays.

If you have children, pets, or chemical sensitivities, ask your technician about natural or environmentally friendly options. Keep in mind that these treatments will probably need to be applied more frequently since they are not as potent as synthetic pesticides.

Exterior pest control treatments

A pest control pro can help you treat your yard space to address nuisance pests commonly found outdoors, such as mosquitoes (probably the peskiest of all pests).

In addition to non-chemical strategies, such as removing sources of standing water and keeping shrubs, trees, and grass maintained, you may also need a spray treatment to keep your yard pest-free. Ask your pest control professional about treatment options and any potential risks they pose to kids or pets that may play in the yard.

Other pest control methods

Pest exclusion involves closing, sealing, and covering possible points of entry into your home. Ask your pest control pro about inspecting your home for vulnerable spots and performing exclusion repairs.

Fumigation is a last-resort treatment for extreme pest infestations. This eradication method involves covering the entire house with a tent while the structure is treated with a product to poison or suffocate the pests inside. You and your family will need to stay at a hotel or with friends or relatives until the treatment is complete.

Common Pests in Virginia

The state insect of Virginia is the tiger swallowtail butterfly, but not all insects in the region are as beautiful and beneficial. In fact, some are pretty dangerous and pose serious health risks.

Common pests that plague homeowners in Virginia include ticks, mosquitoes, bedbugs, stinkbugs, ants, spiders, and termites.

Northern Virginia tick trouble

Ticks are a particularly serious issue in the Northeastern US. Like mosquitoes and bedbugs, these pests feed on blood and can transmit diseases to humans.

The black legged tick (also known as the deer tick), American dog tick, and lone star tick are common to Northern Virginia. Black legged ticks, or deer ticks, spread Lyme disease. Ticks can transmit other illnesses, too.

If you’ve noticed a tick problem in your yard, call a professional to help you develop a strategy for deterring these dangerous pests. In addition to pest treatments, be sure to properly maintain your lawn and protect yourself with clothing and bug spray when venturing outdoors.

Bothersome bedbugs

Bedbugs are an ever-growing problem in the US, particularly in large metropolitan areas like Washington, DC. Contrary to popular belief, bedbugs can inhabit clean homes as well as dirty ones.

Fighting a bedbug infestation in your home will require multiple techniques, some chemical and some non-chemical. Call a pest professional to help you with the pesticide component of treatment and for expert advice on additional strategies for getting rid of bedbugs.
