Effective Quarterly Pest Control
For peace of mind living
For over 20 years, Mares Exterminating has been your trusted partner in pest control. Master Technicians complete our quarterly pest control services to provide consistent, proactive protection for your home or business. With seasonal treatments and free retreatments if pests return, we ensure your property stays protected from unwanted pests, no matter the season.

Effective Pest Control
At Mares Exterminating, we prioritize the safety and well-being of your family, pets, and the environment by using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices in our quarterly pest control program. IPM is a comprehensive approach that combines scientific methods, proactive prevention, and targeted treatments to manage pests while effectively minimizing chemical use.
Your first Quarterly Pest Control Service begins with a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior of your home to identify pest issues and understand their root causes. We utilize various techniques, including liquid and bait applications, habitat modification, and monitoring, to address any current issues and prevent pest infestations before they occur. On future visits, your Master Technician (Pest Specialist) will treat the exterior of your home--focusing on where the bugs come from. Our pest control program is designed for maximum effectiveness with minimal disruption.
By incorporating IPM into our quarterly pest control services, we deliver long-lasting results that protect your home or business while promoting a healthier environment. But if issues arise between services, we'll return at no cost.

Trusted Master Technicians
Our Master Technicians are highly trained professionals who bring advanced expertise and experience to every pest control service. When you choose our quarterly pest control services, you will benefit directly from our team's knowledge and hands-on experience in best-in-class pest management practices, IPM.
Our Master Pest Technicians understand the biology, behavior, and characteristics of ants, spiders, roaches, flies, rodents, termites, and other pests. We go beyond the basics to ensure pests are effectively eliminated and prevented. In addition to expert treatments, we offer customized solutions, including exclusion work on gable vents, gas packs, and foundation vents—keeping pests out and your home protected year-round.
