Its Bed Bug Awareness Week! Bed bugs are one of the most challenging pests to eliminate. They hide in tiny cracks, seams, and furniture... and their eggs are even harder to detect.

DIY treatments often miss these hidden areas, allowing infestations to continue or even get worse over time. That’s why professional treatment is key to fully resolving the problem.

👉 If you suspect bed bugs, don’t wait. Early action makes all the difference.

Today is World Pest Day!

Pest control is about more than eliminating bugs — it helps protect families from mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, termites, and other pests that can impact health and property.

As summer pest activity increases across Hampton Roads, a little prevention can go a long way.

At Getem it’s always about the people, and this week we’re saying goodbye to one of the good ones.

Over the past year and a half, our technician Will has made a lasting impact on our team and our customers. His kindness, willingness to help, and commitment to providing top-notch service truly embody what it means to be part of the Getem family.

While we’re sad to see him go, we couldn’t be happier for him and his wife as they begin an exciting new chapter down South following her graduation from EVMS.

We’re grateful for the time we had with him and wish them nothing but the best. Once part of the Getem family, always part of the Getem family. 💙

Mosquitoes are more than just a summertime nuisance; they’re the world’s deadliest animal. Reducing activity starts at home with simple weekly yard checks. Dump, drain or cover standing water in birdbaths, toys, pool covers and clogged gutters to help stop mosquitoes before they multiply. Need help this season?
