Simple steps that significantly reduce pest pressure in Brunswick, NC homes — from our certified technicians.
Mice enter through holes the size of a dime; insects need even less. Walk your Brunswick, NC home's exterior annually and seal every crack, gap around pipes, and space under doors with caulk, steel wool, or weatherstripping.
Mosquitoes breed in as little as half an inch of standing water. Check gutters, plant saucers, tarps, and low spots in your Brunswick, NC yard weekly during warm months. It makes a dramatic difference in mosquito pressure.
Open packages of grain, cereal, and dried goods are an open invitation for pantry pests. Transfer all dry goods to heavy glass or plastic containers immediately after purchase — it eliminates the most common Brunswick, NC kitchen pest source.
Keep mulch, woodpiles, and dense vegetation at least 12–18 inches from your Brunswick, NC home's foundation. Direct soil contact with your structure is a primary entry route for termites, ants, and rodents — perimeter management is highly effective.
Cockroaches, pantry pests, and rodents are sustained by food debris, grease residue, and crumbs. Regularly cleaning behind appliances, inside cabinets, and under furniture in your Brunswick, NC home removes the food resources that attract and maintain pest populations.
Termites, bed bugs, and many other pests establish significant infestations before visible signs appear. An annual professional inspection of your Brunswick, NC property catches problems while they're still inexpensive to treat — saving thousands in the long run.
