Ant Prevention Tips Northern Virginia Residents Should Know

Ants are some of the most common pests in Northern Virginia. Some species can be a health hazard by contaminating food, spreading pathogens, and delivering painful stings, while others damage property or overtake properties with large colonies. 

Once ants make their way onto your property, they can be extremely difficult to get out. You can discourage ants from settling near your home with the following steps:

  • Eliminate access to food sources. Ants are after an easy meal. You can limit this attraction by storing food in airtight containers, covering indoor and outdoor trash cans and emptying them regularly, and keeping floors and counters clean of crumbs and spills.
  • Limiting excess moisture. Ants and other pests are attracted to homes that offer water access. You can avoid this by fixing any leaky plumbing, addressing condensation issues, maintaining drainage systems, and using dehumidifiers in poorly ventilated areas. 
  • Reducing entry points. Making it harder for ants to get inside can help encourage them to keep moving. Seal cracks and crevices in your exterior walls and foundation, install weatherstripping and door sweeps, fix or replace torn screens, and check for gaps where utilities enter your home. 
  • Clean up the yard. Ants are drawn to leaf and brush piles and other debris. If you have ants in your yard, they will be more likely to find their way into your home. Keep ants away from your property by maintaining landscaping. 

Preventing ants in Northern Virginia is far easier than eliminating an infestation. If you need help preventing or controlling ants on your property, call the professionals at Womack Pest Control.

Why Northern Virginia Homes Need Professional Real Estate Inspections

No one wants to put their house on the market or close on a property with an undisclosed infestation, pest-related damages, or a need for extensive repairs. When wood-destroying insects, mice, rats, and other critters invade a building, they might cause significant structural damage beyond cosmetic blemishes. The value of a property might be in jeopardy if it contains termite colonies, rodents nesting in crawl spaces, or a crumbling infrastructure. Property owners may be held liable to fix problems and be upfront about pest-related issues before a property is available to purchase.

The urge to speed up the process, skip steps, and close on a property or sell is high in a competitive real estate market. However, real estate inspections are necessary for the good of the buyer and seller. Infestations and pest debris can contribute to health ailments, be a frequent problem for a property, and require a careful, thorough investigation.

Real estate is a significant investment, and it's not a venue to cut corners and hide lingering problems. The insulation must be in good shape, structural elements must be sound, and an occupant's health may suffer if unresolved issues exist.

Only a qualified agent can conduct a real estate inspection and provide a detailed list of their findings. After a professional real estate inspection, parties can move forward confidently to buy or sell a property.

Why Northern Virginia Homes Need Protection From Wood-Destroying Pests

Living in beautiful Northern Virginia is a privilege, especially if you land a home with historical features and structural elements. Unfortunately, wood-destroying pests can threaten your home's beauty and security anytime. Termites, carpenter ants, and woodboring beetles see your property as a source of sustenance and a place to nest and breed. Protecting your home requires contacting a dependable pest control company to inspect and treat your abode to thwart these creatures.

At least once a year, having one of our pest management specialists check your home for signs of wood-destroying pests is beneficial. Voracious insects that excavate tunnels of wood, chew holes, and mar the cosmetic appeal of your home may work in relative silence.

Also, have us inspect your insulation, crawl spaces, cavities between walls, and other vulnerable points and schedule ongoing residential pest control treatments for long-lasting protection.

Check the interior and exterior of your property for gaps, holes, or crevices where critters can enter your home. Invest in covers for windows, vents, and fireplaces, and fill small openings with caulk or steel wool. Consider applying essential oils or insect-repellent products to surfaces and furniture, and keep a watchful eye for chew marks, holes, and droppings.

If moisture is a problem, remedy leaks, repair and replace damaged wood and structural elements and run a dehumidifier. Reduce clutter in your home, regularly sweep and vacuum, and throw out garbage to deter pest infestations.

Preserve the integrity and majesty of your home and call Womack Pest Control for services to keep wood-destroying pests far away.
