Casey Jones is the owner of Loudoun Lawn & Pest Management, a full-service pest control and lawn renovation company that serves clients throughout Northern Virginia. A longtime pest control specialist who started out working at his parents’ car repair shop during his youth, Jones now spends his days providing solutions for the many types of pest control issues faced by homeowners in his local area. In these articles, he discusses the best ways to get rid of bats, moles, termites, and ticks.
Could Ticks Be Hiding In My Backyard?
Ticks are among the most difficult pests to spot in an outdoor setting because they are so small and inconspicuous. Rather than combing the bushes for signs of tick life, it is usually easier to closely monitor any pets or children after they play outdoors to see if ticks are latching on.
How Should I Get Rid of Bats In My Attic?
Certainly, homeowners should get rid of any bats that are using their attics as homes. Rather than eliminating them entirely, though, it may be a good idea to build a bat house elsewhere on the property as a way to keep them nearby, since bats are one of nature’s best pest control solutions.
What Makes Eastern Subterranean Termites Unique?
Unlike other types of termites, Eastern subterranean termites are known for burrowing underground. There are two main ways to get rid of them, and almost everyone agrees that it is a better idea to prevent them from infesting your home in the first place than to try and stop them once they have arrived.
How Does Mole Trapping Work?
Moles are destructive creatures that can ruin people’s lawns in just a matter of days. In general, getting rid of moles involves finding which holes they are using to get underground and leaving bait inside those holes.
Can Clean Gutters Help Prevent Pest Infestations?
Dirty gutters are a definite precursor to many types of pest infestations, since insects like mosquitoes and gnats thrive in moist, wet environments. To lower the chances of having an infestation on your property, make sure to keep your roof gutters clear and free of debris at all times.
Pest control is always tricky.

We used Loudoun Lawn & Pest Management to trap a large raccoon that invaded our home. Casey was very professional and he quickly and humanely captured the raccoon and relocated him. We now use his company for our quarterly pest control services and have been very pleased. I would highly reccomend Loudoun Lawn & Pest Management to anyone
