Out of sight shouldn't mean out of mind!

Your crawlspace plays an important role in the overall health of your home. Excess moisture beneath your house can contribute to wood deterioration, fungal growths, musty odors, and conditions that attract unwanted pests—including termites and other wood-destroying organisms.

At Hunt Pest Service, we believe protecting your home means looking beyond the pests you can see.

These photos offer a look beneath the floorboards, including crawlspace conditions and moisture-control improvements.

✅ Crawlspace inspections
✅ Moisture concerns and recommendations
✅ V***r barrier solutions
✅ Termite and pest protection

Don't wait until a small moisture concern becomes a costly problem.

📍 Proudly serving Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.

**EDUCATIONAL TIP: More Product Doesn't Always Mean Better Pest Control!**

Have you recently had a professional pest control treatment but are still seeing some activity? Before assuming the treatment isn't working, remember — **professional pest control is a process.**

At Hunt Pest Service, the products we use are carefully selected based on the pest we're targeting, its behavior, the location of the activity, and proven treatment methods.

One thing many homeowners don't realize is that adding over-the-counter pest control products after a professional treatment can sometimes **interfere with the products already in place.**

Store-bought products may:
• Repel pests away from treated areas
• Contaminate professionally placed baits
• Cover or interfere with product residues
• Scatter pest activity into other areas
• Interrupt a treatment strategy designed to work over time

Some professional products are intentionally designed to work gradually. This allows pests to travel through treated areas, interact with baits, or transfer products where they need to go.

So, if you're still seeing a few bugs after treatment, it doesn't necessarily mean the treatment isn't working!

**Give the professional products time to do their job.**

At Hunt Pest Service, there is a reason behind what we use, where we place it, and how we expect it to work.

**Remember: More product doesn't always mean better pest control. Sometimes the best thing you can do is give the treatment time to work.**

MONDAY PEST FORECAST — RUTHERFORD COUNTY EDITION!

Good Monday morning! Before you check the weather… you might want to check what’s crawling around the house, too.

This week: HOT, HOT, HOT!
We’re looking at sunshine and temperatures climbing into the 90s through much of the week, with some afternoon storm chances showing up toward Friday.

So what does that mean for our six-legged neighbors?

ANTS — HIGH ALERT
Hot weather can send ants searching for water, shade and food. And when rain finally arrives? Don't be surprised if they decide YOUR house looks like a nice dry place to relocate.

MOSQUITOES — STILL CLOCKED IN
Warm temperatures + humidity + any standing water from afternoon storms = mosquito heaven. Dump those buckets, flowerpot saucers and anything else holding water!

SPIDERS — ON PATROL
More insects around the house means more food for spiders. Webs around porches, lights and entryways may start becoming a little more noticeable.

ROACHES — SEEKING SHELTER
Heat and moisture can keep roach activity moving, especially around kitchens, bathrooms, crawlspaces and other damp areas.

🌧️ FRIDAY WILDCARD: Afternoon storms may make an appearance, which can push even MORE pest activity toward homes and structures.

🔮 Hunt Pest Prediction of the Week:
ANTS take the trophy. 🏆🐜

If you suddenly have a tiny six-legged parade marching across the kitchen counter… they weren't invited, but they definitely got the Monday memo. 😂

Stay cool, stay pest-contolled, and have a great week from all of us at Hunt Pest Service! 🏡🐜

📍 Proudly serving Rutherford County & surrounding areas.
