General Pest Control Services
Why Are Bugs Getting Into My House?
Most insects that invade homes come in through the foundation. The cracks and crevices where your house meets its foundation are open invitations for crawling pests. Different seasons drive different bugs indoors. In the heat, they come looking for water. In the cold, they come looking for warmth. Year-round, your home offers food, shelter, and hosts that insects can’t resist.
What Draws Insects to Your Home?
Several things make your house attractive to crawling pests:
- Warm-blooded hosts like you, your family, and your pets that biting pests want to feed on
- Vegetation against or near the house that provides food and habitat for insects
- Standing water in sinks, tubs, and other areas that insects seek out during dry spells
- Carbon dioxide exhaled by humans and animals that draws biting pests inside
- Food sources in your kitchen, pantry, and trash that attract ants, cockroaches, and other scavengers
Why Does General Pest Control Matter?
Homeowners can spend a lot of money exterminating one type of bug only to get invaded by another. Most insects move through the soil or lay their eggs there, giving them direct access to foundation-level entry points. A general pest treatment addresses the most likely point of entry and stops a wide range of bugs before they get inside.
Rodents create an additional layer of risk. Mice and other rodents burrow into walls and foundations, chew electrical wiring, and nest throughout your home. They also carry ticks, mites, and fleas, creating an indirect path for disease transmission. A comprehensive plan addresses both crawling insects and rodents together.
How Mosquito Mike Keeps Pests Out of Your Home
Our General Insect Foundation Treatment (GIFT) creates a protective barrier around the base of your home that stops over 30 types of crawling insects before they get inside. One treatment covers ants, spiders, earwigs, beetles, cockroaches, crickets, centipedes, millipedes, mites, and many more. Add rodent prevention and termite monitoring for the most complete protection available.
How Does Our Treatment Process Work?
Our trained technicians use a hand pump sprayer to apply treatment underneath the siding where the house meets the foundation, into cracks and crevices that serve as entry points, along the base of your home's exterior, and in any areas showing signs of insect activity.
Every treatment starts with an assessment. We look for signs of activity, identify vulnerable entry points, and focus attention where it's needed most. Our insecticides use Bifenthrin with a long residual. One treatment provides up to 90 days of protection.
One-Time or Year-Round: Which Should You Choose?
A single service call provides immediate defense and typically lasts three months. You'll see results right away, but the potency will eventually wear off.
For the best results, our year-round program delivers treatments across every season. Different pests try to enter your home at different times of the year, so continuous coverage gives you the strongest defense. We also offer natural options for customers who prefer them.
What Makes Our Practices Family- and Pet-Friendly?
Because treatments are applied to your home's exterior, chemicals stay outside where they belong. Our sprays need about an hour to dry before surfaces are safe to touch. The treatment is only dangerous for bugs, not your family.
Our mosquito and tick programs protect your outdoor spaces while general pest services protect your home itself. Together, they cover your entire property from every angle.
