Franklin, VA Pest Control

Pest Control In Franklin, VA

As an agricultural yet charming and inviting city, Franklin, VA offers lots of different things to do and see. Residents, visitors, and business owners alike can easily fall in love with Main Street, Franklin’s parks, or the landscape over Blackwater River.

Unfortunately, sometimes harmful pests will find their way into Franklin homes and businesses, making themselves uninvited “guests.” This endangers the health of Franklin residents as well as the properties themselves. If you need pest control in Franklin to get rid of different pests, Go-Forth Home Services is your local solution.

Residential Pest Control In Franklin

Did you know that even the cleanest Franklin homes are at risk for a pest infestation? If there is an opening, crack, gap, or hole that they can access, you can almost be sure that some pests will come into your space. The bad news is that once they find your home to be the perfect warm shelter, those pests will nest and reproduce. Certain pests can also attract other types of pests. For example, a cockroach infestation (prey) might be followed by a spider infestation (predator). This can begin a never-ending cycle of unsanitary conditions, expenses, and stress in your home.

If you need dependable pest control services to get rid of pests, Go-Forth Home Services can help you. Our comprehensive pest management program will be tailored to your needs and situation. To begin, our team of experts will conduct a home inspection, both on the inside and outside of your house. The purpose of this inspection is to find entry points as well as signs of pest activity. The inspection will be followed by the treatment application, which will vary depending on your specific requests. After treatment, we will work with you on long-term prevention solutions so you can maintain a pest-free home. Reach out today, to get started on our residential pest control services in Franklin.

Why Bed Bugs In Franklin Aren't Only Found In The Bedroom

bed bug

We might think of bed bugs as infesting just beds and sheets, as their name suggests. However, the truth is that you can find bed bugs in nearly every area of your home, from walls and furniture to clothing, carpets, books, and dirty laundry. Did you know that bed bugs can even hide inside your electronics, like your alarm clock or headphones case?

Bed bugs don’t come into homes by crawling in through gaps or holes like most pests do. On the contrary, they actually “hitchhike” on your belongings. If you stayed at a hotel or traveled recently, or even if you've only walked around crowded places like the mall, you could be bringing back a few bed bugs on your purse or backpack.

Here are a few tips to prevent the presence of bed bugs in your home:

  • Check hotel beds for bloodstains on the mattress or sheets.
  • Do not lay clothes or luggage on hotel beds.
  • Examine sheets and furniture for signs of bed bugs when staying away from home, especially if you are at a hotel.
  • Wash and dry clothes on the highest heat setting if you are returning from traveling.

In addition to the tips above, we suggest you schedule an inspection with us and get started with quality bed bug control services in Franklin. At Go-Forth Home Services, we can help you get rid of a current bed bug infestation.

How Dangerous Are The Centipedes In Franklin, Virginia?

centipede

Not all centipedes in Franklin are venomous. However, some centipedes can pose a health risk to you and your loved ones. Did you know that some centipedes contain venomous glands that they use to catch and kill their prey? The scary news is that centipedes can bite people with these venomous glands, causing an allergic reaction. Children and pets are especially at risk. Generally, larger centipedes will contain more venom and may be more dangerous than smaller ones.

The other set of bad news is that since centipedes feed on roaches and other insects, having one pest infestation could bring about another. Centipedes could also be attracted to your home because of its warmth and the protection it provides, especially from the low temperatures in Franklin during the winter months. Centipedes can hide inside cement block walls, boxes, vents, and even floor drains. A professional pest control inspection from Go-Forth Home Services can help you identify the presence of dangerous centipedes and begin the extermination process.
