They prefer nesting sites that are inaccessible to predators, and that's one of the reasons they're so difficult to control. The queens lay up to 800 eggs at a time, and only the foraging ants leave the nest to gather food. The only effective solutions include destroying the queen and the colony. The best way to avoid an ant infestation is to prevent it from beginning by making your home uninteresting to ants and difficult to enter. In general, ants love warm, moist environments with easy access to food.

We provide a prompt response when you spot a swarm or invasion, and we offer a Termite Protection Plan that includes an annual inspection and preventative treatment.

We have always had positive experiences with Mares Exterminating and are always pleased with their work. In addition, we are very impressed with their staff! We enjoyed having Leo come out to the house to treat for pests. He was fantastic and had an amazing personality! We will miss him and wish him well as he continues to serve. Josh is now covering Leo's route in this area.
He is amazing as well! Very friendly and personable. Josh was on time, thorough, and professional. It's always difficult when you get used to one tech and then there are staffing changes. Josh made the transition easy. Mares has fantastic folks working there! Keep up the great job

Absolutely wonderful company. I've trusted them for three years with my home and haven't had any complaints. Mare's carries my pests as well as the termite protection. Every employee that enters the house is pleasant, polite, and professional. Office staff are cordial and do try to fit everything in. No questions if you ask for a second spray. Local company that is from the area. I love that the calls go to an actual person rather than a call center somewhere else. No random rate hikes, just a quality service.

Mares has been our extermination company for a few years now, & we appreciate every time they come out, as they offer extremely professional service & input, while always going the extra step to make sure we are pleased with their results. Sam, Joey & the rest of the team are highly knowledgeable, hard working & continuously prove to us why we use Mares. Give them a call!

When we bought our house in 2016, Mares Exterminating performed the Moisture and Termite report for our house and found no issues. Now, in 2021, when we go to sell out house, there are multiple expensive issues that we are told were present when we bought the house. This company just completely lied or didn't do their job and completely screwed us over. DON'T USE THEM.

Do not hesitate to contract with Mares for pest exterminating needs. Their office personnel is courteous, friendly and patient. The representatives take the time to explain what is going on and give you a thorough understanding of what can be done and what to expect. We have used them for four years now and would highly recommend.

Horrible company. We were in a townhouse and had been finding roaches. The place got sprayed and after a month we were still seeing roaches, so we asked for a follow up consult. The guy came out and saw a roach stuck on a glue trap with the egg sack and said it was a bonus the egg sack was on there. There was an obvious issue with cockroaches with this being seen.
He further stated that wood roaches are completely normal, even when they are laying eggs in your home and you are seeing them every morning (even baby roaches). Now our landlords do not think we have any issues with cockroaches based on their "expert" assessment to only have routine sprays from here on out. I have called other companies and they have said this would be considered a cockroach issue and would spray again for free if we were still seeing them.
Would not recommend this company if you have issues with wood roaches as they do not seem to care about these (saying they are normal), even when they are a very regular imposter in your home.

I am so happy I called this company! Donna came out and was so professional and down to earth and made me understand what was happening in my home. She was quick, clean and courteous! She was absolutely amazing. And I was being a total girl like, EWW, EWW, EWW! She was great! Will always call them! Used a spray that was kid friendly, pet friendly and plant friendly! Made me feel at ease with my bug problem!

5 stars all the way! Daniel came by today to do a pre-inspection for us before we list our home. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I was pleasantly surprised, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mares Exterminating. I hope to be able to call them back when we close on the house.

In today's world I feel most construction companies over promise and under deliver. This isn't the case with Mare's! They did everything they said they would. They even adjusted the price accordingly after realizing something they quoted was easier than expected. I think most contractors would have never said anything and kept the money. I also think most homeowners would never inspect the work to make sure it was done right.
When I went under my house to inspect their work I was surprised by how good the job looked and by how well they cleaned up after themselves. Special thanks to Daniel, Kara (didn't realize I was talking to someone I used to rise the bus with ) and Tom, the owner. What a professional team!
