(434) 226-5530Your local Mosquito Squad recognizes that living on Kerr Lake is worth the beautiful waterfront views but that it may come with a price: bugs. That’s where we come in with our professional pest control services.
Sunsets on the lake are gorgeous, but they signal the beginning of a mosquito’s most active time of day. Just when you’re ready to enjoy some respite from the hot sun in the cooler night air, they come out in droves and cover you and your family in bites. Not only do those bites cause itchy, red bumps that bleed when scratched, but mosquitoes also carry diseases that can affect humans and pets, like West Nile and Zika virus for humans and heartworm disease for dogs and sometimes cats. To help protect your family against mosquitoes, we offer a traditional mosquito control treatment as well as a natural alternative, both of which are proven effective.
Ticks are another bothersome part of lake life. You can go far with precautionary measures, like checking for ticks in crevices (think armpits, around the ears, and backs of the knees, among other places) or avoiding places with overgrown weeds and grasses. However, these practices are not foolproof, and you’ll be a lot better off when it comes to tick-borne diseases like Lyme or Rock Mountain spotted fever when you have a more robust plan for prevention. One of the best things you can do along these lines is to hire professional tick control. Our program targets the places where ticks are most likely to be hiding and interrupt the breeding cycle while also reducing adult populations.
When the spiders crowding the dark corners of your home are not so itsy bitsy, happening upon them can give you a big scare. The most common species found in Virginia are common house spiders, wolf spiders, orb weavers, brown recluses, and black widow spiders. The last two are venomous, and their bites can cause serious problems. While most other species are harmless to humans, that doesn’t exactly mean you want them taking up residence among your linens, and it’s no fun walking into a sticky web unexpectedly. We provide treatment against all kinds of spiders that can help prevent these little surprises.
We know there are a lot of choices when it comes to choosing a pest control company. We have nearly twenty years of experience on our side and a track record of treatments proven to work for up to 21 days per application. We work with you on your schedule to ensure as few interruptions to your day-to-day life as possible. If you’re worried about giving us a try, don’t fret: we also have a 100% satisfaction guaranteed policy (terms and conditions apply).
Wasps, hornets, & yellowjackets are all part of the same family of insects. Although some species are more aggressive than others (yellow jackets are among the worst), all can be unpredictable at times. Stings from these insects range from minor to serious, especially for those with allergies. (It is important to know that even if you’ve been stung before and didn’t have a severe allergic reaction, such reactions are still possible well into adulthood.) To prevent your family members from being one of the half million who visit the ER every year as a result of wasp stings, our barrier treatment allows for up to 21 days of continuous coverage.
Ladybugs are widely beloved for their adorable coloring and their helpfulness in the garden. Unfortunately, they have a less helpful cousin: Asian beetles, which disguise themselves as ladybugs. Unlike ladybugs, these invasive beetles bite and emit a foul-smelling liquid when they feel threatened. They also stain walls, damage property, and tend to gather in your home in colder months. Our barrier treatment works against Asian beetles, too! It will help create a perimeter of protection around the outside of your home, preventing them from coming inside.
