Welcome to Dixieland Termite and Pest Control
Dixieland Termite and Pest Control provides pest extermination services to the Statesville, NC area for termite and pest control, bed bug control and mold remediation. In addition to having an experienced pest exterminator treat your home, you should bug-proof your home.
Some steps you can take to help with pest control are:
- Check your home’s exterior for cracks. Ants, spiders and cockroaches enter your home through these cracks. Seal any cracks you may find.
- If you have piles of stone, brick and other debris outside, remove them. Pests, especially rodents, use these areas for protection from the elements, which keeps them in your yard, and eventually in your home.
- Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens and weather stripping so that pests cannot find their way inside. Proper weather stripping also helps keep your heating and air conditioning costs down.
- Make sure crawl spaces and attics have proper ventilation. Not only do cockroaches and other pests dislike open areas, it also helps to keep reduce heating and air conditioning costs.
- Store any fabrics — clothing, spare blankets, pillows, etc. — in sealed plastic bags so as not to entice pests to burrow in them.
- Always cover food if it is out on the counter, or put it in the refrigerator. Flies come in when you open and close doors and will land on the food. They may spread bacteria and could also lay eggs, leading to additional pest problems.
- Keep pet food sealed in an airtight container and do not let it sit out overnight.
