Commonwealth Pest Control serves the waterfront community of Poquoson with comprehensive pest management and moisture control services. Poquoson's unique coastal geography and low-lying terrain create elevated moisture levels that can lead to wood-destroying fungi, termite activity, and mosquito problems.

The most destructive landscape pests include white grubs that feed on grass roots and cause large brown patches in lawns, Japanese beetles that skeletonize leaves on ornamental plants, scale insects that drain sap from trees and shrubs, and bagworms that defoliate evergreen trees. Other common issues include aphids on ornamental plants, chinch bugs in lawns, and various caterpillar species that damage trees and shrubs. The key to effective landscape pest management is early detection and properly timed treatment. Soil-applied grub treatments work best when applied during early larval development. Foliar treatments for adult beetles should coincide with peak activity. Professional landscape pest programs monitor your property regularly and apply treatments at the optimal timing for each specific pest.
To get rid of crickets in your house, start by reducing what attracts them. Switch outdoor lights to yellow bulbs or sodium vapor fixtures, since bright white lights draw crickets close to your home. Trim grass and vegetation away from the foundation and eliminate ground cover within two feet of the structure. Seal gaps under doors, around windows, and along utility penetrations. Address moisture issues in basements and crawl spaces, as damp areas are particularly attractive to camel crickets. Professional perimeter treatment around the foundation creates a barrier that kills crickets before they get inside, and interior treatments target any established populations in basements and crawl spaces. Quarterly service provides year-round protection against crickets and other seasonal invaders.
