Pest Control in Sherrills Ford, NC

Eliminating Pests From Sherrills Ford Yards

Right on Lake Norman, Sherrills Ford yards get full sun and constant moisture off the water, and that combination breeds mosquitoes and feeds fire ant mounds across the turf. On a waterfront lot the pest pressure barely lets up all summer.

We set a treated barrier around the home and work the yard on a schedule tuned to the lakeside pests, so fire ants, ants, and wasps are handled at the foundation and the eaves before they reach the door. The whole approach stays on the exterior and the yard. 

The result is a lakefront you can actually enjoy, morning to evening.

We have an in ground pool in our backyard and every summer we were always bombarded with mosquitoes that were not easily remedied by traditional methods. So far this summer, we have only observed a few.

Full-Service Pest Control for Sherrills Ford Properties

The lake keeps the air humid and the pests active from spring into fall, so our pest control services run on a year-round schedule instead of a single spray. Here's what's covered.

Pest Shield Barrier Control

Our Pest Shield Barrier program treats a band around the perimeter of the home, the doorways, foundation seams, and eaves where ants, spiders, and wasps try to move in off the water and the yard. It's the everyday shield that keeps the common invaders out in the yard. 

Outdoor Control with Pest Shield Premium

Pest Shield Premium keeps the same barrier program, the same schedule, and the same ground, and adds rodents and roaches on top, with the rodents intercepted at the foundation before they reach the house. It's the step up when those pests are in the mix. 

Mosquito, Flea & Tick Control

Our mosquito, flea, and tick treatments go after the mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks where they breed and rest, in the standing water, mulch, and shaded plantings a waterfront lot collects. Timed spring through fall, they bring the numbers down so the shoreline stays usable.

Targeted Pest Control Services in the Southeast

Sherrills Ford sits right on the lake, and the water sets the pest calendar. Mosquitoes breed in every low, damp spot and take the yard over by evening, while the humid, sunny ground feeds fire ant mounds that rebuild fast after each storm. Breeding-site treatment, mound work, and a treated perimeter carry most of the load here.

The rest comes off the yard itself. Ants read the foundation for a way in, paper wasps and yellowjackets build under the eaves and around the dock house, and spiders settle into the plantings along the water. We treat the resting and breeding spots, clear the nests, and hold the barrier at the foundation so the pressure stays outside.
