The extensive experience we have accumulated over the years and our dedication to delivering excellent pest control services in Lexington will help you protect your home from:

Ants

Ants can oftentimes be tough to control. They can be a major problem all over the country. Even though ants can't really significantly damage structures like termites can, they can still be frustrating. Sweet or greasy materials that can go unnoticed will attract ants. They will find the tiniest cracks to gain entry inside of your home and will leave an invisible chemical trail that will let other ants in their colony know where food is located, which can turn a small problem into a big one.

Ledford's Termite & Pest Control Inc. can eradicate ant problems. We won't just eliminate visible ants, our pest control services will penetrate their colony, which will destroy their nests and keep them from returning in the future. Doing this is the only way you can be sure that your home will be ant free.

Fleas

Fleas are tiny pests that usually get inside your home through a household pet. Once they get into your home, they can quickly spread. A female flea lays approximately eighteen eggs a day. That means if your pet has just twenty fleas, it can turn into over 2000 eggs in a week. Flea infestations can rapidly become a serious problem. If you think that you might have a flea problem, it is better to call a Lexington pest control company like Ledford's Termite & Pest Control Inc. as soon as possible.

Roaches

Roaches can gain access to your home through a lot of different ways, including through cracks, vents, drains and sewers. They can even get into your home through grocery bags. Roaches target homes because they are warm and have plenty of food and water inside of them, which makes them the ideal place to build nests. They multiply very quickly. For every visible roach you can find in your home, there could be at least 200 others multiplying behind your walls. Ledford's Termite & Pest Control Inc. uses special equipment to remove roaches, because roach eggs are naturally protected from insecticide. This type of infestation requires attention very quickly or else the roaches in your home will reproduce.

Spiders

Commonly found hiding in dark areas, these eight legged creatures can be a menace in your home. Certain types of these pests enjoy moisture too, that is why they thrive in basements, crawl spaces and other damp, dark areas of structures. Other spiders prefer drier areas that are warm, such as air vents, attics and upper corners of rooms. Spider infestations shouldn't be ignored. Call Ledford's Termite & Pest Control Inc. if you notice that your home has a significant amount more spiders than usual.

Termites

Noticing evidence of termite activity can be startling, but it doesn't mean that it is too late to save your home. Termite infestations require quick action, or else the damage they can cause to your home's interior structure could be expensive to correct or could potentially make your home unsafe. Termites are subversive creatures that remain almost always hidden from view. This allows their colonies to go undiscovered until they create serious damage to structures. Termites usually feed on wood, but they can also eat any cellulose based substance, including books, certain types of furniture, drywall and boxes. They can gain entry into your home through exposed wood or they can burrow through soil surrounding it. Homeowner's insurance does not cover termite damage, so if you suspect that your home might be infested, you need to call Ledford's Termite & Pest Control Inc. because we can treat it and remove the termites before significant damage occurs.
