Termites are unique pests in that they can eat through the wood around Lexington’s homes without stopping. Their 24/7 eating habits can leave properties with issues such as uneven flooring, doors that can’t close, and sinking ceilings. Some of the factors that attract termites in the first place include:

• Having a yard that’s filled with sticks, branches, and other clutter
• Not leaving at least 20 inches of barrier between mulch and a home’s foundation
• Letting water damage go unfixed
• Allowing woodpiles to be stored within 25 feet of a home 
• Accumulating condensation in crawl spaces or basements
• Having wood that is in poor condition 

At Otho’s Pest Management, we know that there are many ways for termite problems to develop, which is why we focus primarily on prevention. These services include annual termite inspections, and if we detect any termite activity during the visit, we move directly into treating them.

Wildlife poses a set of unpredictable scenarios for Lexington homeowners. They are attracted to simple things like garbage bins, places to hide, and leaky outdoor plumbing. While some wildlife may be harmless, others have the ability to bring health issues such as histoplasmosis and rabies. Instead of trying to address them with DIY tips, local residents would be better served by seeking professional help from Otho’s Pest Management.

We have been providing humane wildlife services for more than 45 years, and our company is licensed and affiliated with the state’s wildlife federation. In order to provide our customers with the highest level of care, we start by evaluating yards, crawl spaces, basements, and anywhere else that wildlife could be hiding. From there, we’ll install our ethical methods of encouraging wildlife out of the home. We will also provide customers with tips on how to deter wildlife in the future.

Moisture problems are all too common for Lexington homeowners. They are often felt but not seen, and they can lead to larger, unexpected secondary issues. Here are some of the benefits of working with a home professional on moisture control:

• Prevention of possible health problems: When moisture problems begin to mount, they can lead to serious health issues for some people. Moisture often leads to mold growth, which can cause allergies and asthma outbreaks. Mold can also be the source of lung conditions. 

• Limitation of pest infestations: Moisture is a key attraction for countless pests, such as rodents, termites, cockroaches, ants, and spiders. By rectifying moisture problems with professional help, homeowners are more likely to limit their exposure to these harmful pest problems. 

• Protection of structures: Dealing with moisture issues professionally is crucial to upholding the structural integrity of a home. Over time, moisture accumulation can cause wood to rot and can deteriorate other household materials such as ceiling tiles and insulation. Having troubles in these areas can also lead to inconsistencies in heating and cooling a home, which may become more costly.

Exclusion is one of the most effective forms of protection that Lexington homeowners can have against potential rodent and wildlife invaders. This service usually involves tamper-proof materials, which may include wire mesh, steel wool, metal plates, and other physical barriers. They are used to close off potential entry points that animals can use to get inside of a home. In closing off access points, animals will not be able to gain access to the food, water, or shelter that they desire. 

One of the additional reasons why professionals prefer the use of exclusion is because it doesn’t require applying any products to the exterior or interior of a home. It’s a discreet and ethical way of creating long-term protection as well. At Otho's Pest Management, we provide exclusion for homeowners who want to reduce their encounters with rodents and wildlife. We perform a meticulous property inspection before making any applications. If we’ve located any damaged insulation in the process, we can remove and replace it as well. We then apply the exclusion and provide our customers with ways that they can further reduce animal attraction. For more information on exclusion services, call us today.
