The Importance of Quarterly Pest Maintenance
What bugs are in my home?
As hard as we may try to prevent it, sometimes pests still manage to sneak their way into our homes. Some of the most common household pests include but are not limited to: mosquitoes, fleas, fire ants, bed bugs, wasps, carpenter bees, rodents, and German cockroaches.
Not only are these pests a nuisance, they present potential health and structural hazards. Mosquitoes carry diseases such as the Zika and West Nile Viruses. Rats and other rodents enjoy gnawing through wood, and when that wood is part of the foundation of your house, it presents a real problem!
Quarterly Pest Maintenance
Exclusive Pest Control offers monthly and quarterly pest control maintenance plans to ensure you and your family remain pest-free. There are a few things you can expect from these routine visits.
First, the exterminator will ask you about any problems you’ve been having with pests. Be sure to be specific about the types of insects or rodents you’ve been dealing with so that they can begin to formulate a pest control plan that best suits you and your family’s needs. They will then enter your home and spray around the interior perimeters of each room while also keeping an eye out for pests, paying special attention to any major problem areas. The exterminator will then inspect the exterior of your home, applying insecticide to the foundation and around doors and windows. This is done to prevent more pests from entering.
Preventative Pest Control
Preventative pest control is just as important as quarterly pest maintenance, and there are a few things you can do on your own at home to keep pests at bay. Regularly inspecting your home for cracks or holes, both on the interior and exterior is recommended. Check hard-to-reach areas and areas with low visibility, as pests can easily hide in these locations. It’s also recommended to observe around pipes, utilities, and wiring. Don’t hesitate to call us if you discover large areas that need sealing, as sealing large areas is typically more difficult to do on your own. Cover any vents with mesh, and make sure that all of your windows are installed with screens. Replace any screens containing holes ASAP! Don’t neglect leaky faucets or water appliances, as water will attract pests!

John was very accommodating and went out of his way to satisfy our needs. We intend to keep his service and would highly recommend him to anyone. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

For the job I had for EPC I am very satisfied. He has made a huge difference - Unfortunately this house had a roach infestation before, but now we are taking the step to end this nightmare. When I contacted EPC for pest control John was very fast in response, so yes I would refer him to others, prices are good and the service is good as well. John was on time, we are very happy.

Being allergic to most bug sprays, I was skeptical about having our yard sprayed. And living in the low country my entire life, I had accepted the fact that mosquitoes are just part of our environment. John came out and sprayed the yard. It was unbelievable! I was literally able to go outside and read a book in the grass. I am a believer!

John responded immediately by phone and treated my house the next day. He was very professional and advised me with the next steps to take to keep my home protected. I'm a very pleased customer and would hire him again, if needed.

I have been using Exclusive Pest Control for 3 years. We live on the golf course with the marsh behind us. So we have a LOT of mosquitos! John has been wonderful to work with and guarantees his services. Without doubt, I can call on a whim to say the bugs are attacking and he comes to our rescue! I’ve even sent him a text message the day before I am having an event at my home and he is always quick to arrive.

I would highly recommend John McGee and Exclusive Pest Control. They are very thorough and professional. I get reminders when my maintenance is due, instead of a just bill for it and no one ever showing up. He is the only one that has actually kept the mosquitos away. When I need an extra mosquito spray because of all the rain, they are always available to get right out, none of this we’ll be in your area in two weeks.
