Country Living & Pest Control Our homes are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside, where occasional insects and wildlife are a natural part of the environment. We maintain a professional pest-control program with regular preventative treatments throughout the year. While this greatly reduces activity, it is not possible to eliminate every insect entirely in a rural setting, especially during certain seasons.
