I offer a variety of pest control and installation services at affordable rates, quick easy scheduling and I always return calls and text same day so no hassle. With 5 years of business experience give me a call today and we'll get you taken care of.

It all started with a single employee back in 1992. There was just the owner, Josh Broughton, a truck, and a simple fumigation system. Back then only cockroach extermination services were available. But as the years added on, other forms of insects were added onto the roster. Next was termites, as that usually merits fast response from homeowners. Nowadays Father and Son Pest Control can take on any problem no matter what the species.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Brown recluse spiders—and other species of spiders—invite themselves into your home in search of a warm, dry, dark spot with easy access to insects. Food sources, like the insects that live in your house, often attract spiders to your home, so if you’ve got a bug problem, you’ll probably have spiders moving in quickly.

Groundhogs are non-aggressive animals that are afraid of humans. They forage for vegetation in yards and gardens, so they can often be seen as a nuisance if you spot one on your property. That said, if you happen to get bitten or scratched by a fearful groundhog, be sure to get checked by a doctor, as they could carry infections or diseases like rabies, Lyme, or the rare tularemia.

Several bugs can look like ticks but aren’t, including beetles, bed bugs, spider beetles, and weevils. Aside from different types of beetles, the most common confusion is between ticks versus bed bugs. In any case, since a tick is an eight-legged arachnid, you can quickly differentiate by the number of legs, as all insects have six legs.

Termites are active year-round in warmer areas and most active in the warmer months in cooler climates. Once termites begin causing damage, they’ll continue to destroy your wood year-round, even in cold weather. Termites tend to swarm in warm weather, but colonies can be hard at work, tunneling through your wood 365 days a year.

The right snake trap depends on your needs and the species of snake. Glue traps are the easiest to handle but are inhumane and may catch and kill other animals, like squirrels, birds, and mice. Cage traps catch snakes alive so they can be released elsewhere. Minnow traps are the best choice for water snakes.
