Curtis did a great job and proactively answered all of my questions. He also provided us with tips and techniques to keep bugs from our home. Lastly, he provided us with ant baits to trap and kill any ants in our house and respectively maintained his distance due to the social distancing requirements of COVID19. Curtis - many thanks for your help this morning. Really appreciate you!

Michael was great, he took time to go inside and outside of our house to help clean out all of the spiders and pests. He showed me where all the trouble spots are and where to keep an eye out. He also took care of a wasp nest that was starting on my porch. It's service like this that keeps me coming back to Recon pest control.

Keeping Ticks Away from Your Fairfax Home with Recon Pest Control
Ticks are becoming an increasing problem in Fairfax County, and with them comes the rising risk of tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF), Ehrlichiosis, and others. Lyme disease, the most common tick-borne illness in the US, can cause a bullseye rash, fever, fatigue, and potentially severe long-term health issues if not treated promptly.
Understanding where ticks thrive is key for prevention. In Fairfax, you’ll find them lurking in wooded areas, along trails and parks, and even within overgrown sections of your own lawn. Deer ticks, lone star ticks, and American dog ticks are all prevalent in our region, making it even more crucial to take precautions.

Our Step-by-Step Tick Control Process
Thorough Assessment and Targeted Treatment
Our technicians won’t simply treat the symptoms of a tick infestation; they’ll get to the root of the problem. They’ll conduct a meticulous inspection of your property, identifying tick havens and the factors that attract these pests to your yard. Based on this thorough analysis, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan using proven control methods. This targeted approach ensures we’re efficiently addressing the specific tick problem you’re facing, leading to faster and more effective results.
