Note on Country Living & Pest Control
Our homes are located in the beautiful Virginia countryside, where you’ll enjoy fresh air, mountain views, and peaceful surroundings. With this setting comes the reality of nature—including the occasional visit from local insects.
We are proactive about pest control and maintain a quarterly professional spray plan, with several additional treatments scheduled throughout the year at every property. While this greatly reduces activity, it’s not possible to eliminate every bug entirely, especially during certain seasons.
Thank you for understanding that a few sightings are a natural part of staying in a rural area—and part of the charm of being surrounded by nature!
