Pests we treat around Charlottesville
Pests in Charlottesville
What we deal with most around Charlottesville, VA
Charlottesville homes can see a wide mix of pests over the year. Termites and carpenter ants attack wood that stays damp, ants trail into kitchens as soon as the weather warms, and spiders and wasps make themselves at home in garages, sheds and eaves. Mosquitoes and ticks appear around shaded yards and park edges, fleas travel in with pets, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs collect on sunny walls in fall. Apartments and rental homes, especially near The Corner, may also see cockroaches and bed bugs move between units.
About 78 nights a year at or below freezing push mice and rats toward attics and basements once the leaves fall. In older houses with crawl spaces, chimneys and original framing, small gaps are easy to miss, which is why a pest inspection can turn up problems before they become obvious.
Weather and pests
How Charlottesville's weather affects pest activity
Charlottesville has warm summers and cold winters with a fair amount of rain. July highs average about 87 degrees and January lows about 28, and about 34 days a year reach 90 or higher. The area receives roughly 49 inches of precipitation in a typical year and about 17 inches of snow, and September is the wettest month at about 5.2 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
September is the month to keep an eye on. Late-summer rain leaves gutters, planters and low spots holding water, which supports mosquitoes, and damp soil beside foundations keeps termites and carpenter ants working just as many people relax their guard. Snow and repeated freezes then send rodents looking for warm corners.
A workable plan here starts in April with an exterior check and perimeter treatment, followed by weekly water checks through summer and a September sweep of gutters, vents and door seals. In winter, look in garages, basements and attics for droppings or gnawing. If you would like help fitting this to your home, ask for a free quote and a technician can go through it with you.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Charlottesville
Ant treatment in Charlottesville
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Charlottesville, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Charlottesville
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Charlottesville buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Charlottesville
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Charlottesville home is built.
Cockroach control in Charlottesville
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Charlottesville apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Charlottesville
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Charlottesville
Charlottesville's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
