Reliable Pest Control for Kennard Properties

Kennard’s quiet. Rural. Lots of space between neighbors.

The pests, though? They don’t respect personal space.

Fire ants cover the yard. Mosquitoes swarm near wooded areas. Termites find older homes and outbuildings. Rodents move into barns and sheds. And wildlife – raccoons, squirrels, possums – they think your attic is fair game.

We’ve been handling pest problems in Kennard and across Houston County since 2006. We know rural properties. We know what works.

Pest Challenges Around Kennard

Fire Ants Across Properties

Kennard properties tend to have more acreage than town lots. That means more fire ant mounds.

They spread across pastures, yards, and anywhere the ground’s soft enough to dig. Kids can’t play outside. Livestock get stung. It’s a constant battle.

Our Premium and Elite plans include fire ant treatment up to 20,000 sq ft. Larger properties get quoted separately based on actual acreage.

Heavy Mosquito Pressure

Woods. Pastures. Low spots that hold water. Kennard’s got prime mosquito habitat.

Spring through fall, they make it miserable to be outside. Our monthly mosquito program knocks populations way down – barrier treatments plus In2Care breeding control.

Termites Love Rural Properties

Older homes. Barns. Sheds. Fences. Any wood structure is at risk around Kennard.

We do inspections, treatments (liquid Termidor or Sentricon systems), and real estate reports. Termite pressure is real out here – don’t ignore it.

Rodents and Wildlife

Rural properties attract rodents and wildlife. Food sources. Water. Shelter. You’ve got it all.

Mice and rats infest barns and storage buildings. Raccoons and squirrels get into attics. We trap, remove, and seal entry points.

What Kennard Properties Need

Small Rural Homes

Essential or Premium Plan usually works. Quarterly treatments for everyday pests. Add rodent stations and fire ant treatment with Premium.

Properties with Barns and Outbuildings

More structures mean more pest issues. Rodents in the barn. Spiders everywhere. Wasps building nests on equipment.

Premium or Elite makes sense. More comprehensive coverage and ongoing protection.

Larger Acreage

If you’ve got multiple acres, fire ant and mosquito control get priced by size. We’ll come out, measure, and give you a clear quote.

Older Structures

Older homes and barns have gaps, wood damage, and entry points. We treat for pests and point out problems. Heavy exclusion work (sealing everything up) is quoted separately.

Common Pest Issues We Handle in Kennard

Spiders in Barns and Outbuildings

Black widows. Brown recluse. Wolf spiders. Orb weavers. They’re all over rural properties.

Barns, sheds, storage areas – spiders love undisturbed spaces with lots of insects to eat.

We treat the areas where they’re living, not just spray randomly. Knock down webs, treat harborage spots, create barriers.

Ants Following Moisture

Kennard homes with well water or septic systems sometimes have moisture issues. Ants love that.

Rover ants, carpenter ants, Argentine ants – they follow water sources right into your house.

We find the colony, treat it, and address entry points. Not just killing the ones marching across your counter.

Wasps on Equipment and Structures

Tractors. Four-wheelers. Barns. Sheds. Wasps build nests everywhere around rural properties.

We knock them down regularly as part of service. Essential Plan covers up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite go up to 30 feet.

Rodents Chewing Through Everything

Mice and rats chew wires in tractors, contaminate feed in barns, nest in stored equipment.

We trap inside structures, bait around the exterior, and seal entry points where possible. Ongoing problem requires ongoing treatment.
