Pest Control In Fauquier County VA

Miche Pest Control provides extermination services that get rid of ants, spiders, cockroaches, and more from homes and businesses in Fauquier County Virginia. We get rid of pests fast by using a combination of highly effective treatment methods, using the best products available for the specific pests that you're seeing. Our most popular plan in Fauquier County VA is our quarterly pest control service. Included in each quarterly service from Miche Pest Control:

• Spider Web Removal
• Wasp & Hornet Nest Removal
• 4 to 6 Foot Barrier Spray For Crawling Insects
• 10 Foot Granular Barrier To Push Bugs Away From The Home
• Detailed Crack & Crevice Treatments
• Inside Treatment As Needed

This service is designed to be thorough enough on the outside that you shouldn't need inside treatment, but the inside is always included when needed and/or requested. We use products that are registered with the EPA, and labeled for use in and around homes, hospitals, day cares, and pet kennels. The first service gets rid of any current pest issues, and immediately starts working to keep pests from coming back after they've been eliminated. A few months later, once the products break down and egg sacs start hatching, the pests usually come back - that's why we do four services per year, and more if you need. If you're having issues with covered pests in between regular services, just let us know and as needed, we'll go back out in between services at no extra cost.

Lyme disease, like other zoonoses, is transmitted by a vector that picks up the pathogen during a blood meal from a vertebrate host. In Fauquier County, the spirochete bacterium that causes Lyme Disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, infects blacklegged ticks (deer ticks), which then feed on a wide variety of birds, lizards, and mammals, including mice, deer, and humans. 

Deer tick larvae hatch in midsummer, and acquire infection after feeding on an infected mouse or other small animal. The white-footed mouse is common in Fauquier County, and is known to be able to carry Lyme Disease. Larvae detach after several days of feeding, then molt into nymphs and enter a nearly year-long dormant stage. After another round of feeding, nymphs fall off and molt into adults, which prefer the blood of larger mammals. Tick larvae and nymphs acquire the disease while feeding, and can transmit their infection during subsequent feedings. People are most likely to contract Lyme disease from nymphs, since nymphs are more likely to feed on humans, and are less likely to be noticed than adult ticks due to their smaller size.

A comprehensive approach to preventing tick-borne illness will incorporate treating for ticks, as well as a proactive rodent reduction program.

Miche Pest Control provides rodent control services for mice, rats, and voles in Fauquier County Virginia. We get rid of rodents fast by using a combination of trapping, entry point exclusion, and outside bait stations. Included in your first rodent control service from Miche Pest Control:

• Entry Point Inspection
• Sealing Rodent Entry Points
• Trapping Mice & Rats Inside
• Tamper-Resistant Bait Stations Outside

We use tamper-resistant bait stations combined with products that are registered with the EPA, and labeled for use in and around homes, day cares, and pet kennels. The first service gets rid of any existing rats, mice, or voles, and immediately starts working to keep rodents from coming back after they've been eliminated. A couple months later, once the bait starts to deteriorate or run out and rodent populations start rebounding, mice and rats usually come back - that's why we do six services per year, and more if you need. If you're having issues with rodents in between regular services, just let us know and as needed, we'll go back out in between services at no extra cost.

1. Remove fallen leaves from around the yard.

By looking at a single termite, it certainly doesn’t look dangerous or menacing, but a whole colony of them can inflict serious structural damage on a home in a fairly short period of time. Termites are known as “silent destroyers” because of their ability to chew through wood, flooring and even wallpaper undetected. Each year, termites cause about $5 billion in property damage.

In Fauquier County, the main kind of termite we see is the Eastern Subterranean Termite. Subterranean termites are found in every state except Alaska. This termite species lives in underground colonies or in moist, secluded areas aboveground. A single colony of subterranean termites can contain up to 2 million members. They build distinctive "mud tubes" to gain access to food sources, and to protect themselves from open air. Subterranean termites can cause the most damage of any termite species. They eat wood 24 hours a day, seven days a week, using their saw-toothed jaws to bite off small fragments of wood one piece at a time. Over time, subterranean termites can critically damage a building structure, sometimes causing a total collapse.

Miche Pest Control provides termite control services in Fauquier County Virginia. We get rid of termites fast by combining termite bait stations with direct treatment of areas with termite damage and live termites, providing fast relief from termite infestations as well as lasting protection from existing and future termite populations. Included in your first termite control service from Miche Pest Control:

• Spot Treatment Of Areas With Termite Damage
• Spot Treatment Of Areas With Live Termites
• Installation Of Termite Bait Stations For Lasting Protection

This service plan provides year round protection from subterranean termites. We use products that are registered with the EPA, and labeled for use around homes, hospitals, day cares, and pet kennels. The first service is designed to get rid of an existing termite infestation, and immediately starts working to keep termites from coming back after they've been eliminated. The bait stations are loaded with enough bait to last a year - that's why we do at least one service per year, and more if you need. If you're having issues with termites in between regular services, just let us know and we'll go back out in between services at no extra cost.
