Pest Problems We Solve in De Soto
De Soto’s mix of historic homes near downtown, wooded lots along Joachim Creek, and rural properties out toward Washington State Park gives Missouri pests plenty of opportunity. Here’s what we handle every week in Jefferson County:
- Ants — odorous house ants trailing through kitchens, and carpenter ants working on older wood framing We use Termidor®, a trusted product, for effective ant control.
- Spiders — including brown recluse, which thrive in the basements, barns, and outbuildings common around De Soto
- Termites — a serious risk for De Soto’s older housing stock (more on our Sentricon® protection below)
- Rodents — mice and rats moving indoors every fall, especially in homes backing to fields and woods
- Wasps, hornets & stinging insects — nest removal done safely, so you don’t have to get on the ladder
- Mosquitoes & ticks — seasonal yard treatments so you can actually enjoy your property
- Wildlife — humane removal and exclusion for raccoons, squirrels, bats, and opossums
Termite Protection Older De Soto Homes Can Count On
Many De Soto homes have been standing for generations — and that’s exactly the kind of home termites quietly damage for years before anyone notices. Homeowners insurance almost never covers it.
Roberts Pest Control is a Certified Sentricon Specialist®. The Sentricon® system is the termite colony elimination system trusted to protect the White House and the Statue of Liberty, and it works without drilling your foundation or trenching chemical around your home. Discreet stations around your home work around the clock, eliminating the entire colony, queen and all. Ask us about a free estimate with a straight answer about what your home actually needs.
Why De Soto Chooses a Local Company
Some of the biggest names advertising “local” pest control in De Soto are national brands owned by out-of-state corporations — your bill goes to another state, and the technician may change every visit. We do it differently:
- Actually local — we’re based right here in Jefferson County, minutes up Highway 21, not dispatched from St. Louis or beyond
- Free re-service between visits — if covered pests return between your scheduled visits, we’ll re-treat at no extra charge
- The same faces — our technicians know their routes and their customers by name
- Straight answers — if you don’t need a treatment, we’ll tell you
- Safe for kids and pets — treatments chosen and applied with your family in mind
- 4.9 stars on Google — from real customers across Jefferson County and the St. Louis area
