College Park pest control FAQ

Can historic district homes use bait systems?

Yes. Baiting systems are one option when drilling or trenching is a concern. See termite treatment options.

What should I know before buying a historic College Park home?

Order a termite (WDO) inspection early, check the crawl space for moisture, and ask for any past treatment records or transferable termite contracts.

Why do older yards have more mosquitoes?

Mature trees create shade and humidity, and older gutters and downspouts tend to hold water. Weekly container checks help most.
