What pests do you deal with most at the Lake?
The most common around here are termites, rodents like mice and squirrels, ants, wasps and bees, fleas, cockroaches, spiders, scorpions, and millipedes - plus the dock and boat spiders that come with waterfront living. The key is not to wait: the sooner you call, the easier it is to handle.
Where are all these pests coming from? I keep my place clean!
Most bugs come inside when their outdoor environment turns against them - hot dry summers, heavy rain, or cold winters. Rodents especially seek warmth, food, and nesting material in the fall and winter. Even a spotless home or business isn't immune to pests looking for a warm, well-stocked refuge.
What are the signs of an infestation?
Different pests leave different clues. The most common are droppings from mice and rats, wood shavings and holes in walls from termites, and roach nests in secluded spots - behind cabinets and baseboards, and in cracks near sinks, water heaters, and door frames.
Are your products safe for children, pets, and customers?
Yes. Our technicians use only no-odor, EPA-approved products that are safe for humans, pets, and the environment - effective pest control with fewer chemicals.
Do you treat docks, boats, and marinas?
That's our specialty. Dock and boat spider control, mud daubers, and seawall spiders are a core part of what we do - timed to the season so your dock is clear when you're using it. See our dock & marina service.
How often should I have service?
We customize to your property - monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual. Waterfront homes usually run heavier in summer when spider pressure peaks and lighter off-season.
