Where they get in around Garrett
A large part of Garrett was built before 1950, and homes that old fail in the same few places. A The water line where it comes through the foundation wall. B A porch or a step that has settled away from the house. C The sill plate where old framing meets stone or block.
Those gaps are narrow, which is why they get missed: a mouse needs about a quarter of an inch, and an ant needs far less. An inspection starts there rather than at the baseboards, because spraying where you saw it does nothing about the way in.
What to say when you call
- →What it looked like and which room it was in. A trail along a counter and a single insect in a bathroom point at different things.
- →How long it has been going on, and whether it is spreading.
- →What the ground around the house looks like — mulch, firewood, an irrigation line that runs wet. The outside inspection starts there.
- →Your address, so the call goes to a technician covering Douglas County.

What happens after the call
You say what you have seen and where in the home it turned up. That is usually enough to narrow it down on the phone.
A technician then inspects the property — inside, around the outside, and in the crawl space or attic where the sign usually starts. Identification comes before treatment, and the treatment is quoted before it begins.
