Call (434) 956-6395 for a quote today. You book it. We treat it. Simple as that.
Good pest control isn't complicated, it's just done right, and that means treating every property as its own situation. We offer residential and commercial pest control with a full range of options: interior and exterior treatment, targeted one-time services, and recurring prevention plans built to keep pests out season after season. Our approach draws on integrated pest management principles, focusing on the conditions that allow pests to thrive and correcting them at the source rather than just reacting to what is visible. Treatments are designed with your household in mind, formulated to be family-safe and pet-safe. As a local pest control company homeowners rely on, we take the time to explain what we are doing and why. Give us a call and we'll get the pests handled.
A recurring prevention plan is the most reliable way to keep pests from becoming a problem in the first place. We offer quarterly and bi-monthly service schedules that include exterior barrier treatment, perimeter pest control, and thorough inspections at each visit. If pests return between scheduled visits, satisfaction-backed re-treatment is included at no extra charge. Year-round pest control means you are covered through every season, from spring ant activity and summer wasp pressure to fall invaders looking for a warm place to overwinter.
Not every situation calls for an ongoing plan. If you have a specific infestation you need addressed, a one-time treatment is a straightforward option. We come out, assess the problem, treat it directly, and give you a clear picture of what was done and what to watch for afterward. Pricing is transparent, based on the pest, the property, and the scope of the work. No surprise charges, no vague estimates.
Property managers trust us to keep their buildings pest-free, and we work with a wide range of commercial clients: restaurants, offices, warehouses, retail spaces, multi-unit residential buildings, and apartment complexes. Consistent, scheduled service is what businesses and property managers need most, and we build programs around your property's specific requirements. Commercial pest control is not one-size-fits-all, and we do not treat it that way.
Over the years, we've seen every kind of pest this area has, from the ants and cockroaches that show up in kitchens to the mice and rats that find their way in as temperatures drop. We handle spiders, wasps and hornets, fleas, ticks, silverfish, and the seasonal invaders that push inside during fall and winter. Work on every job is performed by licensed pest control technicians who know what they are looking at and how to address it properly. Call and we'll get the pests gone.
Ants are one of the most common calls we get, and they rarely stay in one spot. Pavement ants, odorous house ants, and other species move through cracks in foundations, door frames, and utility penetrations. Treatment covers both interior and exterior activity, and we address entry points as part of the process to reduce the likelihood of a return.
Cockroaches and spiders both thrive where there is harborage, meaning clutter, moisture, and undisturbed spaces give them exactly what they need. Our indoor pest control approach targets active populations and works to eliminate the conditions that support them. Harborage reduction is part of every cockroach and spider treatment, not just a product application.
Mice and rats can find their way into almost any structure, and once inside they move fast. A rodent control visit includes baiting and trapping, a thorough inspection of the property, and entry-point sealing to close off the routes they are using. We walk you through what we found and what steps to expect so there are no surprises.
Wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets build nests in eaves, wall voids, and landscaping, and they become aggressive when disturbed. We remove active nests and treat the area to prevent rebuilding. Same-day service is available for stinging insect situations where waiting is not an option.
Fleas and ticks often come in on pets or wildlife and establish quickly in carpeting, bedding, and yard vegetation. We treat both interior and exterior sources to address the full cycle. Silverfish, house centipedes, cluster flies, and other occasional invaders get the same attention. If it is showing up in your home regularly, it belongs on our list.
Dealing with a recurring invasion or a sudden swarm? Charlottesville's mix of wooded lots, older housing stock, and humid Virginia summers creates conditions that favor certain pests more than others. Knowing which pests are active here, when they peak, and how they behave locally is what separates a general treatment from one that actually holds. The three pests below are the ones we get called about most often in this area.
Deer ticks are a genuine health concern across central Virginia, and Lyme disease risk is real in this region. Wooded yards, leaf litter, and areas where deer and other wildlife travel are the primary tick habitat. Treatment focuses on exterior and yard application, targeting the shaded, moist zones where ticks concentrate. We can schedule tick control as a standalone service or fold it into a recurring prevention plan depending on your property's exposure.
Brown marmorated stink bugs are a seasonal fixture in Virginia. They spend the warm months outdoors feeding on vegetation, then begin pushing into homes in late summer and fall looking for overwintering sites. Wall voids, attics, and window frames are common entry points. Treatment and exclusion work together here: we address existing populations inside and seal the gaps that let them in. Acting before the fall migration peaks makes a noticeable difference.
Carpenter ants are a structural concern that homeowners sometimes mistake for a minor nuisance. They excavate wood to build galleries, often in moisture-damaged framing, window sills, and roof areas. Signs of activity include sawdust-like frass and large black ants appearing inside, especially in spring. Treatment targets the colony and the satellite nests that branch out from it. A recurring prevention plan helps keep them from re-establishing once the initial infestation is addressed.
If you're not sure how often your home needs treatment, you are not alone. Most people call us because something showed up and they want it gone, and then they stay with us because the service is consistent and the results hold. We have been working in this area since 2019, and the properties we service span everything from single-family homes to commercial buildings across Charlottesville. We're a local team, and we answer when you call. That means a real person who knows this area, knows its pests, and can schedule a visit without a long wait. We'll get your home pest-free again fast.
Pest control pricing depends on the pest you are dealing with, the size of the property, and whether you want a one-time treatment or a recurring plan.

Most homes benefit from quarterly or bi-monthly service, especially given the seasonal pest pressure in central Virginia. If your property has older construction, wooded surroundings, or a history of recurring pest activity, more frequent visits are usually the better call.
Skipping scheduled treatments allows pest populations to rebuild between visits, which often means a more established infestation by the time you call again. Staying on a recurring plan is far easier and less costly than responding to a full infestation after the fact.

How often should a home in this area be treated for pests?
Most homes in central Virginia do well on a quarterly schedule, which aligns treatments with seasonal shifts in pest activity. Properties with wooded surroundings, older construction, or a history of recurring pest problems often benefit from bi-monthly service. When you call, we talk through your property and help you decide what makes sense.
What are common signs that a home has a pest infestation?
Signs vary by pest, but general indicators include droppings in cabinets or along baseboards, damaged food packaging, shed insect skins, sawdust-like debris near wood framing, and visible trails of ants or cockroaches. For rodents, listen for scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night. If you are seeing any of these, it is worth a call.
Are the treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use products formulated to be family-safe and pet-safe, and our technicians apply them in a way that minimizes exposure. We will let you know if any specific preparation is needed before the visit, such as keeping pets off a treated lawn while it dries.
Same-Day Service Available
When a pest situation cannot wait, we make every effort to get a technician to your property the same day you call. Reach out as early as possible to check availability.
Do I need to leave my home during or after a treatment?
For most interior treatments, we recommend staying out of treated rooms for a short period while products dry, typically an hour or less. Your technician will give you specific guidance based on what was applied and where. Exterior treatments generally require no time away from the home at all.
What is the difference between a one-time treatment and a recurring prevention plan?
A one-time treatment addresses a specific, active infestation. A recurring plan keeps pest pressure from building back up in the first place by treating your property on a set schedule and catching new activity early. Most homeowners find that a prevention plan saves them from dealing with a full infestation later.
What happens if pests come back between scheduled visits?
If pests return between your scheduled service visits, we come back out at no additional charge. That re-treatment policy is included with our recurring plans because we stand behind the work we do. You should not have to pay again just because a pest problem resurfaces before your next visit.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We give you a clear number before any work begins. There are no vague estimates and no charges added after the technician leaves.
How does exterior barrier treatment keep pests out?
Exterior barrier treatment applies a protective band around the foundation, entry points, and perimeter of the home that deters and eliminates pests before they get inside. It is the first line of defense in any prevention plan and is included at every recurring service visit. Combining it with entry-point sealing and moisture reduction makes it significantly more effective.
What should I do about an active wasp or hornet nest?
Do not disturb the nest. Wasps and hornets become aggressive when they feel threatened, and a disturbed nest can be dangerous. Call us and we will handle removal and treatment. Same-day service is available for stinging insect situations where waiting is not an option.
Re-Treatment Between Scheduled Visits
If pests return between your scheduled service visits, we come back out at no additional charge. That guarantee is built into every recurring plan we offer.
Is there a long-term contract required for recurring service?
No. Our recurring plans do not require a long-term contract. You get consistent, scheduled service with the flexibility to adjust your plan if your situation changes. We keep customers by doing good work, not by locking them in.
How does the season affect pest pressure in central Virginia?
Spring brings ant activity and the first wasp nest building. Summer increases stinging insect pressure and cockroach activity in humid conditions. Fall is when brown marmorated stink bugs, cluster flies, Asian lady beetles, and boxelder bugs push inside looking for overwintering sites. Winter is when rodents move indoors for warmth. A quarterly plan is timed to address each of these windows before they peak.
What should I know about deer ticks and Lyme disease risk in this area?
Deer ticks are a genuine health concern in central Virginia, and Lyme disease transmission is a real risk for anyone spending time in wooded or brushy areas. Treatment targets shaded, moist zones in your yard where ticks concentrate, including leaf litter, wood edges, and areas where wildlife travel. Tick control can be scheduled as a standalone service or added to a recurring plan.
