From treating the foundation of your home to sweeping eaves up to 16 feet high, we ensure that potential pest entry points and nesting sites are thoroughly addressed.

This detailed strategy is designed to not only address current infestations but also to prevent future ones. In the pest control world, an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure!

Why Pests Might Return

Pests can be persistent, and their return can be attributed to various factors, including weather, higher than anticipated pest pressures, incomplete treatment, environmental changes, or new entry points opening up. At Scout Pest Control, we understand these challenges and offer a free reservice guarantee. Our team is prepared to return and address any pest issues that arise between your regular quarterly visits, ensuring that your home remains pest-free.

Preventive Measures Recommended by Scout Pest Control

Prevention is key in the fight against pests. We advise homeowners to maintain their yards by keeping bushes and trees properly trimmed. Installing gravel 12-18 inches around the base of the home is a great idea to keep pests away from the home. This not only helps in reducing the shelter for pests but also minimizes the chances of them making their way into your home by using the plants to avoid our treatment areas. Additionally, we suggest keeping the home well-sealed — this includes installing door sweeps, ensuring windows and screens are properly sealed, and that garage doors seal properly around the base and sides.
