It is a brand new age and pest control is no longer just an extermination process dominated by the application of chemical pesticides. A number of years ago we began thinking about the affects of pesticides on the environment, materials began to change, new formulation were developed and the application of most pesticides was limited to cracks, crevices and enclosed void areas. All of these were, and are, good things, but there are yet non-pesticide measures we can take to make our homes less attractive to pests. Standing water, excessive moisture and moisture softened or damaged wood are all open invitations to pests, not to mention the damage water and excess moisture can cause on their own.
Starting at the top, so to speak, are the rain gutters, neglect cleaning them and before you know it the downspouts are clogged and the debris in the gutters creates dams and they fill with rain water and overflow. Over time all of this rain water begins to soak into wooden fascia, cause molds to grow on the walls and create leaks that just may cause damage inside the house. Meanwhile insect pests begin infesting these damp areas, most notably Carpenter Ants will excavate moisture softened or damaged wood in order to build their home inside. In our Pest Gallery you will learn that Carpenter Ants do not eat wood, they only cut into it tunneling out channels or "galleries", as they are called, to nest in.
Leaf Defier® Gutter Protection System is the best way to prevent clogged gutters and the problems the cause. Bugs-4-Less is a proud distributor and installer of this fine product, visit our Leaf Defier page for more information.
Looking at the bottom portion of houses here in the Tidewater area most often we find a crawl space foundation. With our water table being so high standing water and at the very least heavy moisture are accepted as part of living in this part of Virginia. damp soil is Termite paradise. Well say good-bye to that wet soggy crawl space and say hello to the Bugs-4-Less Moisture Control System.
A clean, dry crawl space is much healthier for your home as well as for you and your family.
Our Moisture Control System is not always a one size fits all application, each house has it's own moisture issues based on location, age, construction type and a myriad of other considerations.
BUGS-4-LESS inspects each home before making any recommendations for creating a cleaner drier crawl space beneath your home. At the heart of the BUGS-4-LESS Moisture Control System is a complete crawl space encapsulation that utilizes a specially developed multi-layer polymer sheeting secured tightly together at each and every seam. Encapsulation means just that, the entire crawl space from the top of the foundation walls, not just sheets of thin plastic laid on the ground. For complete details on how we can dry out your crawl space visit our MOISTURE CONTROL PAGE.
