Pest Control for Pennington Properties

Pennington’s small. Rural. Quiet. Most properties have acreage, outbuildings, woods nearby.

That means pest pressure. Fire ants across pastures. Mosquitoes near wooded areas. Termites finding older structures. Rodents in barns. Wildlife getting into homes and sheds.

We’ve been handling pest control in Pennington and Trinity County since 2006. We know rural properties. We know what it takes.

The Pest Situation in Pennington

Fire Ants Everywhere

Rural properties around Pennington have acres of fire ant habitat. Pastures, yards, around buildings – they spread fast and build aggressive colonies.

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

Heavy Mosquito Pressure

Woods, pastures, low areas that hold water – Pennington’s got prime mosquito breeding habitat. Spring through fall, they’re relentless.

Monthly mosquito treatments make properties usable again. Barrier sprays and In2Care systems knock populations way down.

Termites in Homes and Outbuildings

Older homes, barns, sheds, fences – any wood structure is at risk. Humidity and wood equal termite problems around Pennington.

We inspect, treat active infestations with Termidor, and install Sentricon systems for long-term monitoring.

Rodents in Every Structure

Mice and rats love rural properties. Barns, sheds, workshops, storage buildings – they nest, breed, and cause damage.

We trap inside structures, bait around exteriors, and seal entry points where possible.

Wildlife Problems

Raccoons, squirrels, possums, even occasional armadillos – rural properties attract wildlife. They get into attics, tear up insulation, damage structures.

We trap, remove, and seal entry points. Some jobs need clean-up after removal.

What Pennington Properties Need

Small Rural Homes

Essential or Premium Plan usually works. Quarterly treatments for everyday pests. Premium adds rodent control and fire ant treatment.

Properties with Acreage

More land means more pest pressure across the board. Fire ants, mosquitoes, wildlife – all increase with acreage.

Premium or Elite Plan recommended. Fire ant and mosquito service quoted based on actual property size.

Homes with Outbuildings

Barns, sheds, workshops – each structure attracts pests. Spiders, rodents, wasps. More buildings mean more treatment areas.

Premium or Elite gives better coverage for multiple structures.

Older Properties

Older homes and barns have gaps, wood damage, moisture issues. Pests exploit every weakness.

We treat and identify problems. Heavy exclusion or repair work quoted separately.

Common Pest Issues Around Pennington

Spiders in Barns and Outbuildings

Black widows, brown recluse, wolf spiders, orb weavers – all common around rural properties. They love barns, sheds, equipment storage.

We treat where they’re living – not random spraying. Harborage areas, under structures, around foundations.

Ants Trailing Everywhere

Moisture, food sources, entry points – ants find them all. Argentine ants, carpenter ants, rover ants.

We locate colonies, treat them directly when possible, and create barriers.

Wasps on Everything

Tractors, equipment, barns, sheds – wasps build nests everywhere around rural properties. Dangerous when you’re working and accidentally disturb one.

We knock down nests regularly as part of service. Essential up to 15 feet, Premium and Elite up to 30 feet.

Rodents Chewing Through Everything

Mice and rats chew wiring in tractors, contaminate feed, nest in stored equipment and insulation.

Ongoing treatment keeps populations down. Trapping alone doesn’t work – you have to bait exteriors and seal entries.
