DeRidder is surrounded by pine timber, and that shapes the pest pressure in town. Subterranean termites and carpenter ants have an endless supply of wood and moisture, wildlife moves in from the treeline, and the rental market near the base turns over often enough to keep bed bugs circulating. We handle DeRidder property with those realities in front of us.
Pine framing, wooded lots and heavy rainfall give subterranean termites everything they need. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged sills and the moisture conditions that draw termites in, then treat and monitor so a colony does not get established quietly over several seasons.
Squirrels, raccoons and opossums move from timber into attics, soffits and crawl spaces, particularly where trees overhang a roof. We remove them, close the entry points properly, and clean up what they leave behind rather than simply trapping and walking away.
Frequent move-ins keep bed bugs moving through rental property near DeRidder. We treat units thoroughly, coordinate with landlords and property managers on adjoining units, and follow up so an infestation is finished instead of pushed next door.
DeRidder has a good deal of older construction, and older buildings have gaps that newer ones do not. We inspect crawl spaces, chimneys, siding and attic voids with that in mind and treat in ways appropriate to the structure.
