🐶🍽️ Pet bowls become pest buffets at night.

Leaving food out overnight can attract ants, roaches, and rodents. Pick up bowls before bed, wipe the feeding area, and store pet food in sealed containers.

Clean bowls. Fewer pests. Better protection.

Seeing ants in your home?

Before you grab the spray, it helps to know what kind of ants you may be dealing with.

Some ants are looking for food.
Some are looking for moisture.
Some may be nesting around damaged wood or exterior areas.

Common ants in Virginia homes include:

🐜 Odorous house ants
🐜 Pavement ants
🐜 Carpenter ants
🐜 Acrobat ants
🐜 Little black ants

The right treatment starts with the right identification.

🐜 Ant scouts miss nothing.

Even small kitchen crumbs can attract ants and lead to trails inside your home. Wipe counters daily, sweep up crumbs, and keep food sealed to help prevent ant problems.

Clean counters = fewer ants.

If ants are suddenly invading your kitchen, bathroom, or windowsills, they are probably looking for one of three things:

🐜 Food
💧 Water
🏠 Shelter

The tricky part?

Once scout ants find what they are looking for, they leave a scent trail for the rest of the colony to follow.

That is why a few ants can turn into a full trail fast.

Spraying the ants you see may help temporarily, but it usually does not fix the source of the problem.

“We deal with pests every single day… but camelback crickets?
Yeah… they still make Mikey jump 😂

Found mostly in damp crawlspaces, basements, and garages around Virginia, these little jumpers LOVE moisture and dark conditions.

Another reason moisture control and crawlspace encapsulation matter.

We hope you have a great day… but better yet an All-Star day. ⭐

Out of sight… shouldn’t mean out of mind 👇

High humidity in your crawlspace can cause condensation to build up on pipes and wood — creating the perfect environment for mold, rot, and pests.

What to look for:
✔ Damp or wet insulation
✔ Water droplets on pipes or ductwork
✔ Musty odors

Controlling moisture below your home is one of the best ways to protect it long-term.

🐝 Meet the Carpenter Bee… aka “The Wood Driller.”

Looks like a bumblebee…
but acts VERY differently.

Carpenter bees:
✔️ Drill holes into wood to nest
✔️ Hover around decks, eaves, and siding
✔️ Can cause damage over time

You might notice:
• Perfectly round holes in wood
• Sawdust underneath
• Bees hovering near the same spot

👉 Males may act aggressive—but they can’t sting.

At All-Stars Pest Control, we help protect your home while keeping things properly managed.

That tiny gap under your garage door?
Yeah… pests see that as an open invitation 🐭🐜

Over time, garage door seals wear down, crack, or leave space underneath — making it easy for insects and rodents to sneak in.

Take a minute to:
✔ Check for daylight under the door
✔ Inspect for cracks or wear
✔ Replace the seal if needed

A simple fix now can save you from a bigger problem later.
