What keeps a customer coming back for over 15 years? 🤔 Meet Mike Henry, a retired Air Force veteran 🇺🇸 with an extensive background in customer care, and a loyal part of the Better Termite & Pest Control family!

When Mike first bought his home, he opened his garage to a homeowner's worst nightmare: extensive termite damage and tunnels everywhere. 🪵🏚️

Luckily, a neighbor recommended us, and we were able to take care of the problem immediately.

With 24 years in the Air Force and a career focused on customer care and product improvement, Mike knows exactly what exceptional service looks like. He called us the "poster child for the way you’re supposed to treat customers!" 🏆

Here is what Mike loves most about working with our 3rd-generation family business:

✔️ Flexibility: "You set your schedule based on the customer's need as opposed to what's convenient for you... which is a big plus."
✔️ Reliability: "We haven't had a termite even raise its ugly head since we got you on board!" 🚫🐜
✔️ Value: "It's a worthwhile cost for service... the ratio is just amazing."

Mike isn't the only one who feels this way! We are incredibly proud to have over

Want to take back your backyard this summer? ☀️🌿

When it comes to mosquito and tick control, it’s all about targeting where they live and breed! Instead of just spraying aimlessly, we focus on the dense vegetation in your yard—like ivy, bushes, and trees—where these pests love to hide out. 🌳🦟

By treating these specific hotspots, we can significantly reduce the mosquito and tick populations, allowing you to actually enjoy your outdoor space bite-free! 🚫🦟

Curious about how we effectively tackle mice and rats? 🐀🚫 Let’s talk about rodenticides and our 4-Step Rodent Protocol!

Rodenticides are specially formulated baits designed to control rodent populations, but applying them correctly is the most important part of the job.

Here is how we do it at Better Termite & Pest Control:

🔎 Step 1: Full Inspection. We don't just guess. We thoroughly inspect your home's exterior to identify rodent hotspots, track droppings, and pinpoint the exact entry points they are using.

📉 Step 2: Lower the Population. We strategically place our rodent bait stations (those discrete black boxes you see in the video) around the home to start reducing the population.

🔒 Protecting What Matters: If you have kids or pets, you might be wondering how we use rodenticides responsibly around your home. As a dog owner myself, I totally get it! 🐶👶

Our bait stations are strictly tamper-proof. They require a special professional key to open, meaning curious kids and dogs cannot access the bait inside. The boxes feature small entry holes just big enough for mice and rats to enter, access the rodenticide, and leave. This ensures the treatment does its job exactly where it needs to, keeping the bait completely isolated from your family and furry friends.

If you're dealing with a rodent issue in the DMV area, trust the professionals to handle it the right way.

📞 Give us a call today at 703-683-2000 to get started on our proven rodent
protocol! 🏡✨
