Pest Control Services in Ashburn, VA
Better Termite & Pest Control has been protecting Ashburn homes since 1968. Three generations of the Schulz family have built this business on a straightforward idea: use better products, treat people right, and show up when you say you will. With over 100,000 homes serviced across the DC metro area, we bring serious experience to every job in Loudoun County.
What makes us different is our internal research team. They review thousands of product labels and technical documents so we can remove the harshest chemicals from our programs. We cut 9 commonly used pesticides and replaced them with reduced-risk options like Essentria, Alpine, EcoVia, and borate-based solutions. These are the same products we use in our own homes.
Every plan includes unlimited free callbacks. If you see a pest between scheduled visits, we come back and retreat at no extra cost until the issue is resolved. No binding contracts either. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. If you are not happy, you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice.

Why Ashburn Homes Face Unique Pest Pressure
Ashburn is one of Northern Virginia's fastest-growing areas. All that new building stirs up pest activity. Communities like Ashburn Village, Ashburn Farm, Broadlands, and Brambleton sit around man-made lakes, storm ponds, and wooded paths. These water features and green spaces pull mosquitoes, rodents, and ticks right into your backyard.
The W&OD Trail cuts through Old Ashburn and gives rodents and ticks a path straight into nearby homes. Beaverdam Creek Reservoir and Broad Run bring extra moisture and wildlife to homes along the water. The packed townhome rows around One Loudoun and Moorefield Station share walls, which lets ants and rodents move freely between units.
Loudoun County gets hot and humid in summer (averaging 88°F in July) with about 43 inches of rain per year. That means long pest seasons. Termites love the moist soil. Carpenter ants set up in the mature trees and mulch beds found throughout Ashburn's landscaped neighborhoods. And every fall, stink bugs push into homes as temperatures drop.
General Pest Control in Ashburn
Our Ashburn pest control starts with a 78-point inspection covering your home's foundation, siding gaps, utility penetrations, basement moisture points, and garage entries. We find exactly where pests are getting in, then build a treatment plan around those findings instead of a one-size-fits-all spray.
Inside, we apply crack-and-crevice treatments in kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and along baseboards where pests actually travel. Outside, we spray a perimeter barrier that pests walk through and carry back to their colonies. This kills the source instead of just pushing them somewhere else.
Our TriGuard plan covers 35+ local pests including ants, roaches, spiders, centipedes, stink bugs, earwigs, silverfish, crickets, fleas, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets. Three scheduled visits per year plus unlimited callbacks mean you are never left waiting with an active problem.
Ashburn Pest Control Plans
TriGuard Pest starts at $39/month and includes 3 visits per year with free callbacks. For broader protection, the TriGuard with Sentricon Bundle adds termite monitoring for $69/month. SeasonGuard+ covers pests, termites, mosquitoes, and ticks with 9 annual visits starting at $95/month.
Mosquito Control in Ashburn
Ashburn's lakes, retention ponds, and wooded spaces are perfect for mosquito breeding. Homes around Ashburn Village's lakes and Beaverdam Creek Reservoir deal with heavy mosquito pressure from April through October. Our technicians go after the shaded plants and standing water where mosquitoes breed and rest.
We use backpack mist blowers to apply a knockdown spray mixed with a growth regulator along the edges of your property where lawn meets landscaping. Mosquitoes shelter in this shaded zone during the day. Our treatment kills adults on contact and stops larvae from ever maturing.
For homeowners who prefer a no-spray approach, we also offer In2Care mosquito stations. These use a specialized fungus and targeted larvicides that mosquitoes spread to other breeding sites, creating a multiplying effect that traditional spraying cannot match.
Mosquito Treatment Options
Our LawnShield program provides monthly mosquito and tick treatments from April through October. In2Care station installation offers a biological alternative. Both can be bundled with general pest control for savings on your overall program.
Rodent Control in Ashburn
Rodents are a big concern in Ashburn. When cold weather hits, mice and rats push indoors through garage doors, pipe openings, and gaps in vinyl siding. Townhome communities around One Loudoun and Brambleton see rodents moving between shared walls. Homes near the W&OD Trail or shops along Route 7 get extra pressure from nearby food sources and dumpsters.
Our 4-step rodent process starts with a thorough inspection to find entry points and high-activity areas. We then place tamper-proof bait stations around your property. Follow-up visits at 1 and 3 weeks make sure the treatment is working. For rats, we use snap traps instead of bait to avoid odor problems from animals dying in walls.
Ongoing re-baiting every few months keeps your home protected and stops new populations from moving in. We also advise on entry-point sealing after the active population is controlled. Unlimited callbacks mean we keep coming back until the problem is fully resolved.
Rodent Control Protocol
Inspection, strategic station placement, early follow-ups at 1 and 3 weeks, then scheduled maintenance. One-time rodent service runs $250-$400, or recurring plans start at $39/month with setup fee. Optional exclusion recommendations help seal your home long-term.
Termite Control in Ashburn
Ashburn's clay-heavy soil and steady moisture from 43 inches of rain per year make it ideal territory for subterranean termites. Homes with mulch beds, wood touching soil, or trees nearby face higher risk. This describes most properties in Ashburn Farm, Belmont Country Club, and Willowsford.
Our termite program uses the Sentricon Always Active baiting system. We install stations around your home's perimeter that attract foraging termites. Workers eat the bait and carry it back to the colony, which shuts down the entire colony. Most colonies collapse within 30 to 90 days.
Annual inspections catch new activity early, before real damage happens. We also offer liquid trenching for active infestations and borate treatments for new construction. Our termite warranties give you ongoing coverage and peace of mind.
Termite Protection Options
Sentricon bait stations monitor for termites around the clock and wipe out colonies at the source. Liquid barriers block termites from crossing into your home. The TriGuard with Sentricon Bundle combines pest and termite coverage starting at $69/month. Annual inspections catch new activity early.
