West End pest control FAQ

How can students avoid bringing home bed bugs?

Inspect used furniture, keep luggage off beds when traveling, and wash and dry clothes on high heat after trips. See bed bug identification.

What should I check before buying a historic West End home?

Get a termite (WDO) inspection, look in the crawl space for moisture and wood debris, and ask for any previous termite treatment records. See the Georgia termite letter.

Are vacant lots nearby a rodent risk?

Overgrown lots can shelter rats. Keep your own yard clear of debris, secure trash, and seal foundation gaps.
