Outdoor Pest Control in Waxhaw, NC

Mosquito Control

There's nothing quite like having a beautiful backyard you can't sit in without becoming dinner.

Mosquito activity can make patios, decks, lawns and other outdoor living spaces uncomfortable during warmer months.

Certain property conditions can also contribute to mosquito activity. Areas that retain moisture, dense vegetation, shaded areas and standing water may provide favorable environments.

Earth Hog can help homeowners reduce mosquito pressure while also identifying obvious property conditions that may be contributing to the problem. And because we also provide Drainage Solutions, we can look at recurring standing-water problems when they're part of the bigger picture.

Flea Control

Fleas aren't only an indoor or pet problem.

Outdoor environments can contribute to flea activity, particularly where pets or other animals spend time.

Earth Hog provides outdoor flea control as part of our combined mosquito, flea and tick services.

Treatment may focus on portions of the property where conditions are favorable for flea activity rather than simply treating every square foot exactly the same way. If you're experiencing flea problems around your outdoor spaces, we can evaluate the property and discuss an appropriate treatment strategy.

Tick Control

Ticks can be especially concerning for homeowners with children and pets who regularly spend time outdoors.

They may be found in areas with taller vegetation, brush, leaf litter, shaded locations and portions of properties where wildlife travels. Property maintenance can therefore be an important part of reducing favorable tick habitat.

Earth Hog doesn't only provide pest treatment. Our Shrub Trimming & Brush Clearing and Seasonal Cleanup services can help address overgrown vegetation and accumulated landscape material that may contribute to favorable pest environments.

Fire Ant Control

Fire ants can create visible mounds and establish colonies in lawns and landscape areas.

Their presence can also make portions of the property uncomfortable to use.

Earth Hog provides fire ant control in Waxhaw, NC as part of our broader outdoor pest services. The goal is to address active fire-ant problems while keeping the surrounding lawn and landscape in mind.

If you're seeing recurring mounds or ant activity throughout the property, we can evaluate the situation and recommend an appropriate approach.

Mole Control

Those raised tunnels running through the lawn aren't exactly the landscape feature most homeowners had in mind.

Moles spend much of their lives underground and can create visible tunneling as they move through the soil. Their activity can disrupt turf and create uneven areas throughout the lawn.

Moles are often associated with the food sources available beneath the surface, including earthworms and other soil organisms.

Earth Hog provides mole control as part of our Lawn & Landscape Pest Control services. Because mole activity is very different from insect damage, identifying the problem correctly is an important first step.

Vole Control

Moles and voles are often confused, but they aren't the same animal and don't cause exactly the same damage.

While moles primarily tunnel underground while searching for food, voles are rodents that can feed on vegetation and create pathways through lawn and landscape areas.

Signs may include:

• Surface runways
• Damage around plants
• Gnawing on vegetation
• Activity near landscape beds
• Areas of disturbed turf
