Recon Pest Control, Herndon

Since 2006, the exterminators from Recon Pest Control have freed structures from the tyranny of mosquitoes and ticks so inhabitants can enjoy their living spaces nuisance-free. Each Recon visit begins with a free evaluation, wherein a company representative looks around the property and creates a custom plan for treatment—a marked improvement over the one-size-fits-all method of baiting bugs with offers for free drinks.

When dealing with mosquitoes, the process typically includes treatment of trees, shrubs, and deck posts. Before finishing up the job, the technician also recommends methods to prevent future infestations, such as eliminating potential nesting spots and throwing away welcome mats that only send pests mixed signals.
