Why Berryville Homeowners Choose Better Termite
57 Years Protecting Homes in the Shenandoah Valley
Berryville sits in the heart of Clarke County. Farmland, orchards, and the Blue Ridge foothills surround the town. It is a great place to live, but the older homes, barns, and nearby Shenandoah River bring year-round pest problems. Whether you live on Main Street, in a newer spot like Windover Meadow, or on a farm off Route 7, pests find their way in.
Better Termite & Pest Control has been protecting homes in the area since 1968. We are a third-generation, family-owned company. Our team has over 300 years of combined experience. We also have an in-house research team that cut 9 of the harshest chemicals from our programs. In their place, we use products like Essentria, Alpine, and borate-based treatments.
Call 703-683-2000 and you will talk to a licensed technician who knows Clarke County pest problems. No phone trees. No outsourced call centers. Over 400 families have left us 5-star reviews on Google. We have treated over 100,000 homes across the DC Metro area.

Why Berryville Has Year-Round Pest Pressure
Shenandoah Valley Geography and Older Homes
Berryville and Clarke County sit in the Shenandoah Valley. The Blue Ridge Mountains rise to the east, and the Shenandoah River runs through the area. Farms, wooded hillsides, and creeks like Chapel Run and Long Marsh Run give pests plenty of places to breed. Rodents feed on grain and orchard crops, then move into homes and barns when it gets cold. Ticks breed in the brushy edges and tall grasses that line many Berryville yards.
Older homes in the Berryville Historic District often have stone foundations, open chimneys, cracked mortar, and damp crawlspaces. These gaps give ants, roaches, spiders, and rodents a way inside. Even newer areas like Apple Glen, Auburn Farms, and Battlefield Estates see problems. Nearby farmland and woodlots push stink bugs, mice, and field crickets toward homes.
Warm Summers and Mild Winters Extend Pest Seasons
Hot, humid summers and steady rain make Clarke County a hotspot for mosquitoes, carpenter ants, termites, and other pests that love moisture. Pest activity runs from March through November. Mild winters let bugs survive inside walls and crawlspaces. When cold snaps hit, rodents push inside through gaps as small as a dime. Homeowners in ZIP code 22611 deal with this cycle every year.
Full-Service Pest Control for Berryville Homes
35+ Pests Covered Under One Plan
Our TriGuard Pest plan covers the pests that show up in Berryville homes. That means ants, carpenter ants, roaches, spiders, stink bugs, centipedes, silverfish, camel crickets, earwigs, fleas, ticks, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, carpenter bees, and more. Each visit starts with a full check and ends with treatment inside and outside your home.
Treatments last about 90 to 120 days. With 3 visits per year, your coverage stays solid with no gaps. If pests show up between visits, call us. We come back and retreat at no extra charge. Plans start at $39/month with a one-time setup fee. No binding contracts.
Foundation to Roofline, Inside and Out
Inside, we treat cracks in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and utility rooms where pests hide. Outside, we spray a barrier around your foundation, mulch beds, porches, and entry points. In older Berryville homes, we focus on stone foundations and cracked mortar where pests slip through. If you have barns or sheds, we can treat those too. The products we use stick to pests and get carried back to their colonies, wiping them out at the source.
Termite Protection for Berryville Properties
Damp Crawlspaces and Older Framing Put Berryville Homes at Risk
The valley's clay soils hold moisture right against your foundation. Many older Berryville homes have wood touching the ground, stone crawlspaces with little airflow, and aging lumber. Termites thrive in these spots. Damage can hit tens of thousands of dollars before you see any signs. Even newer homes near farmland face risk from termite colonies living in old tree stumps and fence posts.
We use the Sentricon baiting system. Stations go into the ground around your foundation. Termites find the bait and carry it back to the colony. This kills the whole colony, queen included. Our TriGuard with Sentricon Bundle starts at $69/month. It covers pest control, termite baiting, and a yearly termite inspection.
Liquid Treatment for Active Infestations
For active problems, we offer liquid treatments that create a barrier around your foundation. Renovating an older Berryville home or building new? Ask about our borate wood treatments for day-one protection. Our annual termite warranty covers routine checks and re-treatments as needed.
Every visit includes dewebbing eaves, porches, and entry points around your home
Carpenter ants target damp wood in Berryville's older homes and barns
Stink bugs migrate from Berryville farmland into homes every fall, clustering around windows

Mosquito Control in Berryville
The Shenandoah River and Farm Ponds Drive Mosquito Populations
The Shenandoah River, creeks like Chapel Run and Long Marsh Run, and farm ponds all sit close to Berryville. From April through October, these water sources and the humid valley air breed heavy mosquito swarms that make it hard to enjoy your yard. Asian tiger mosquitoes and northern house mosquitoes are the most common types in the area.
Our technicians use a backpack sprayer to treat bushes, shade spots, and the edges of your yard where mosquitoes rest during the day. The spray knocks down adult mosquitoes fast and also stops new ones from growing. Most customers see over 50% fewer mosquitoes within 24 hours of each visit.
IN2Care: A No-Spray Option for Berryville Yards
We also offer the IN2Care system if you prefer no spraying. IN2Care traps lure mosquitoes to a station. The mosquitoes pick up an agent and carry it back to breeding sites, spreading the effect. Our SeasonGuard+ plan bundles mosquito, tick, pest, and termite coverage starting at $95/month.
Rodent Control in Berryville
Farmland, Barns, and Grain Storage Fuel Rodent Activity
Clarke County's farms, orchards, and livestock give mice and rats plenty of food and shelter. Rodents breed in barns, grain bins, and hedgerows along fields. When fall temperatures drop, they move into nearby homes. Older Berryville homes with stone foundations and gaps around pipes are easy targets. A mouse only needs a hole the size of a dime to get inside.
Our 4-step rodent plan starts with a full inspection to find trails and entry points. We place tamper-proof bait stations and snap traps where rodents are most active. Follow-up visits at weeks 1 and 3 make sure the plan is working. Ongoing service keeps numbers down long-term. We can also give you an estimate to seal the gaps we find.
One-time rodent services run $250-$400. You can also add rodent coverage to a recurring plan starting at $39/month. For persistent issues in rural Berryville properties, monthly visits provide the tightest control.
