Why Round Hill Homeowners Choose Better Termite
57 Years Protecting Homes at the Base of the Blue Ridge
Round Hill sits at about 548 feet where western Loudoun County meets the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sleeter Lake, Franklin Park, the North Fork of Goose Creek, and miles of forest and farmland wrap around the town. Families love the setting. But it gives carpenter ants, mice, stink bugs, mosquitoes, and ticks a straight shot from the woods to your door.

Why Round Hill Homes Face Persistent Pest Pressure
Victorian Foundations, Stone Walls, and 1,500 Newer Homes
Round Hill's housing covers three distinct eras, each with different weak spots. The Round Hill Historic District holds 204 contributing buildings, most built between 1880 and 1920. These Late Victorian homes have stone foundations, aging sill plates, vented crawlspaces, and original wood trim that gives termites, carpenter ants, and mice easy entry. The Gregg-Parks-Potts House dates to 1775. Homes this old have settling gaps around every pipe, vent, and window.
Newer subdivisions changed the scale of the town. Villages at Round Hill added 1,200+ single-family homes and townhomes between 1997 and 2014. Lake Point added another 303 homes beside Sleeter Lake between 2004 and 2016. The Bluffs at Sleeter Lake, Stoneleigh, Hillwood Estates, and Hamlets of Blue Ridge filled in around them. These homes have wood-frame construction with vinyl siding, full basements, attached garages, decks, and mulch beds against the foundation. Every one of those features creates an entry point or harborage for ants, spiders, wasps, and rodents.
100-Acre Lake, Appalachian Trail Forests, and 69-75% Humidity
Round Hill is an official Appalachian Trail Community, designated in 2019. The trail passes less than 5 miles from town through Bears Den and Blackburn. That means hundreds of acres of continuous forest canopy feeding deer, mice, voles, and ticks directly into residential neighborhoods. The town earned Tree City USA status for its urban canopy, which gives spiders, centipedes, and overwintering insects shelter right up to the roofline.
Sleeter Lake is a 100-acre impoundment that feeds the North Fork of Goose Creek. Franklin Park covers 203 acres with rolling hills, ponds, and ball fields. Woodgrove Park adds 30 acres of wooded recreation land. All of this water and green space keeps summer humidity between 69% and 75% and gives mosquitoes standing water from April through October. Annual rainfall hits 30 to 33 inches, with June the wettest month. That moisture drives subterranean termite activity year-round and supports carpenter ants, centipedes, and springtails in every crawlspace and basement.
Pest Control for Round Hill Homes
35+ Pests Covered Under One Plan
Our TriGuard Pest plan covers all the pests that show up in Round Hill homes: ants, carpenter ants, roaches, spiders, stink bugs, centipedes, silverfish, camel crickets, fleas, ticks, wasps, yellow jackets, carpenter bees, earwigs, and more. Every visit starts with a check. We treat inside and out, from baseboards to the roofline.
Treatments last 90 to 120 days. We visit 3 times per year to keep coverage steady with no gaps. If something shows up between visits, call us. We come back and retreat at no extra cost. Plans start at $39/month with a one-time setup fee. No contracts. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
From Historic District Crawlspaces to Lake Point Basements
Inside, we treat cracks in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and along baseboards where pests hide. Outside, we spray a barrier around your foundation and hit mulch beds, weep holes, soffits, window frames, and garage doors. The product moves back to nests and wipes them out. Whether your home sits on a stone foundation in the historic core or a poured slab in Hamlets of Blue Ridge, we adjust the treatment to match what your home needs.
Termite Protection for Round Hill Properties
Damp Soil, Creeks, and a 100-Acre Lake Feed Termite Colonies
The North Fork of Goose Creek, Sleeter Lake, and dozens of drainage channels keep Round Hill soil damp most of the year. Summer humidity tops 70%. That is ideal for eastern subterranean termites. Older homes in the historic district with crawlspaces, stone walls, and aging wood sill plates face the highest risk. But newer homes in Villages at Round Hill and Lake Point are not off the hook. Termites slip through gaps as narrow as 1/32 of an inch, and mulch beds, deck posts, and wood-to-soil contact around modern Colonials give them a path in.
We use the Sentricon bait system. Stations go into the ground around your foundation. When termites find the bait, they carry it back to the colony and the queen. That kills the whole colony at its source. Our TriGuard with Sentricon Bundle starts at $69/month. It covers pest control, Sentricon, and a yearly termite check in one plan.
Liquid Barriers and Pre-Construction Treatment
For active termite problems, we apply liquid barriers that form a treated zone in the soil around your foundation. Building a new home in the Round Hill area? Ask about borate wood treatments for framing before the drywall goes up. We have focused on termites since 1968 and our yearly checks catch early signs before they become big repair bills.
Every visit includes dewebbing eaves, soffits, and entry points around your Round Hill home
Stink bugs hatch in spring and swarm south-facing walls of Round Hill homes every fall before pushing indoors
Damp soil around Sleeter Lake and the North Fork of Goose Creek keeps termite colonies active year-round
Sentricon stations sit flush with the ground and work around families and pets
Round Hill's forests and Appalachian Trail corridors support high tick populations from spring through fall
Our trucks are a familiar sight from Villages at Round Hill to Purcellville to Hillsboro
Mosquito & Tick Control in Round Hill
Sleeter Lake, Franklin Park Ponds, and Goose Creek Breed Mosquitoes
Round Hill is surrounded by water and green space that makes mosquito season intense. Sleeter Lake holds standing water all summer. Franklin Park ponds, irrigation runoff from nearby farms and vineyards, and the North Fork of Goose Creek collect water after every rain. Homes in Lake Point and along Loudoun Street sit closest to these breeding grounds and catch the heaviest mosquito pressure from April through October. June alone brings 3+ inches of rain, the wettest month of the year.
Our techs use a backpack mist blower to treat shaded areas, plant edges, and low spots where mosquitoes rest during the day. The spray kills adults on contact and stops larvae from growing. We visit monthly from April through October. Tick treatments include two granular applications (spring and fall) plus Damminix Tick Tubes that target the tick lifecycle through mice. Round Hill's Appalachian Trail forests and deer population make tick prevention critical.
IN2Care: A No-Spray Alternative
We also offer IN2Care stations for homeowners who want a no-spray option. These traps lure mosquitoes to a station that infects them with a biological agent. The mosquitoes carry it back to nearby breeding sites, which spreads the effect and breaks the cycle. Our SeasonGuard+ plan bundles mosquitoes, ticks, general pests, and termites starting at $95/month.
Rodent Control in Round Hill, VA
Farmland, Vineyards, and Blue Ridge Forests Push Mice and Rats Indoors
Round Hill borders the Blue Ridge foothills and miles of open farmland. Stone walls, windbreaks, barns, and wooded slopes give mice, rats, and voles plenty of outdoor habitat. Those rodents follow field edges and tree lines straight into yards in Villages at Round Hill, Lake Point, Stoneleigh, and the historic core. Properties near Williams Gap Vineyard, Good Spirit Farm, and Sleeter Lake see the most pressure because grain, fruit, and standing water attract rodents year-round.
A gap the size of a dime is all a mouse needs to get inside. Older homes with stone foundations and aging seals around pipes are most at risk. Newer homes with attached garages, walk-out basements, and sump pump discharges have their own vulnerabilities. When temperatures drop in fall, rodents move indoors and nest in walls, attics, and behind appliances. The longer they stay, the harder they are to remove.
Our 4-step rodent plan starts with a full check to map active trails and entry points. We set tamper-proof bait stations and snap traps along travel routes. Follow-up visits at weeks 1 and 3 confirm results and adjust traps. One-time rodent work runs $250 to $400. You can also add rodent coverage to a recurring plan starting at $39/month.
