🧥🥫 Community Coat & Canned Food Drive This Fall & Winter!

As the colder months approach, we want to help give back to our wonderful community. This fall and winter, we are hosting a coat and canned food drive to support families in need.

If you have any gently used coats or non-perishable canned goods you’d like to donate, we want to make it as easy as possible for you!

The Pickup: Let us know, and we will gladly pick up your donations right during one of your regular services.
Special Trips: Not due for a service soon? No problem at all—we are more than happy to come pick them up in our free time!

All donations will go to support our Local Community.

Drop us a comment, send us a message, or reach out to let us know if you have items to contribute. Thank you for helping us take care of our neighbors this season! ❤️

Hey there awesome people!

Did you know that if you can smell mothballs your house, you are actively breathing in a registered chemical pesticide? It's one of the most heavily abused products on the market, and it's time we talk about the hidden risks.

Traditional mothballs are powerful chemical pesticides that release dangerous, toxic gases. Personally, I don't recommend using them at all. But if you are going to use them, always read and strictly follow the product label, and make sure you use them exclusively inside airtight containers. Using them in unapproved ways-like tossing them loose in open closets, living areas, or attics-is a federal violation that exposes your household to profound hazards.

Keep these critical risks in mind:

🚨 The Exposure Rule: If you can smell them, you are actively breathing in and getting exposed to the toxic fumes. That odor is a chemical v***r off-gassing into your air.

⏳ Stubborn Fumes: The v***rs cling tenaciously to fabrics, drywall, wood, and plastic, lingering for months or even years and making the odor notoriously difficult to get rid of.

⚠High Toxicity for Kids & Pets: They frequently resemble candy or mints. Ingesting even a single one can be fatal, causing severe anemia, vomiting, and organ damage.

🫁 Respiratory Damage: Concentrated v***rs trigger headaches, dizziness, nausea, and acute irritation-posing and extreme hazard for anyone with asthma or COPD.

👕 Direct Skin Exposure: Stored fabrics absorb the chemicals. Wearing them without thorough washing transfers the toxins straight to your skin.

Safer, Non-Toxic Alternatives:

Cedar blocks or chips: Natural wood oils repel pests safely.

Herbal sachets: Lavender, rosemary, or cloves naturally discourage moths.

Airtight storage: Heavy-duty plastic bins and vacuum bags block pests completely without any chemicals.

At McCracken Pest Control, we're always here to help. We offer FREE no-pressure inspections where we help you identify the underlying conducive conditions that attract pests in the first place. We won't just explain what we can do for you-we'll also break down practical, hands-on steps you can take yourself to protect your home naturally and safely.

Give us a call or send us a message today to schedule your FREE no-pressure inspection! Please share this post to help protect our community from hidden household hazards.

Bugs aren't invited into your home-and neither are we, unless you ask!🚫🚪

Hey neighbors! Matthew and Ashlee here, owners and operators of McCracken Pest Control. We have a confession to make: We are absolutely terrible sales people.😅

We didn't get into this business to perfect a sales pitch or memorize scripts. We got into it because we love solving bug problems and helping our community.🕷✨

That is why we promise you two things:

1️⃣No uninvited knocks: We will never just show up at your front door unannounced. We only come over when you invite us.

2️⃣No high-pressure deals: We will never try to sell you a service or contract you do not need.

When you call McCracken Pest Control, you don't get a corporate sales rep trying to hit a quota. You get us-the owners-focused entirely on fixing your pest problems with fair prices and honest work.🛠

We are located in Catlett, VA.

If you have pests you didn't invite into your home, give us a call/text at:

Hi Everyone! Wow what a summer and it's not even fully over with yet! The leaves are starting to change🍃🍂, halloween items are already out in stores😱(what already?) and soon the weather will get colder🥶. Those lovely little critters will start really trying to get in😬. No one wants to share their home with mice, especially then they start making themselves a little too comfortable behind your walls. Finding mouse droppings is the absolute worst, and honestly, in our home, we can't stand the thought of a mouse being in our home-or anyone else's house either! 🐭❎(unless you want them there)

If you are dealing with unwanted critters like mice or even rats, we would love to help you out! We are Matthew and Ashlee, the owners/operators of McCracken Pest Control. As a family owned business, we run things with a huge emphasis on family values. We genuinely care about helping our neighbors get a peace of mind and feel safe in their own homes🏠.

We take pride I delivering professional, top-notch service, but we also bring that warm, personal touch. To us, you are not just a customer-you are family.

The best part? We offer a completely free, no-pressure inspection. We will never try to scare you into buying service you don't need; we just want to help you fix the problem honestly and effectively.

We are located in Catlett, VA.

Most of you know me from keeping your homes pest-free, but drawing caricatures is another hobby of mine that I enjoy almost as much as pest control!

Sketching my beautiful wife, Ashlee, is my absolute favorite way to warm up before a gig. ✏️🎨

It got me thinking—what hobbies or even small businesses do you all have? Getting to know our customers is the absolute best part of what I do. I would love to hear all about it! Drop yours in the comments below, or tell me the next time I'm out treating your home.

Spotting a few odd bugs or just want to stay ahead of home maintenance? 🏡 When it comes to your house, routine checkups are one of the best ways to keep everything running smoothly—and that includes checking in on wood-destroying pests like termites!
While they might be small, termites can cause a lot of structural damage if they go unnoticed. Because they work silently from the inside out, prevention and early detection are always the best route for these guys. A periodic inspection is a fantastic way to catch things early and secure total peace of mind for your largest investment.
Here are a few simple things to watch for around the house:
🔍 What to Keep an Eye On
1. Swarmer Wings: Occasionally finding small, identical wings near windows or doors after a warm spring or summer rain.
2. Mud Tubes: Pencil-thin mud tunnels running along foundation walls where insects travel safely.
3. Hollow-Sounding Wood: Baseboards or trim that sound papery when tapped.
🛠️ Easy DIY Prevention Tip
Cut off their access to moisture and wood-to-soil contact! Keep firewood, mulch, and scrap wood stacked well away from your foundation, and make sure your gutters are actively draining water away from the house.
🏡 Prefer to let us take a look?
At McCracken Pest Control, we believe in total transparency. That’s why we offer free, zero-pressure inspections! 🤝 No aggressive sales tactics here—just a friendly, honest check-up. We even encourage you to take your time and get other quotes so you can feel 100% confident in your choice.
