Pest & Termite Control in Kempsville, Virginia Beach, VA
Kempsville filled in with subdivisions through the 1970s and 80s, and the canopy those yards planted has grown tall enough to shade every slab beneath it.
Pest Pressure in Kempsville
Homeowners along Kempsville Road and Providence Road run their sprinklers hard through the summer, and the water pooling against slab edges gives odorous house ants a reason to trail indoors after every warm rain.
