McCracken Pest Control

07/29/2026

Ever wonder how mice keep slipping inside your house? 🐭 You don't need to shell out thousands to stop them—here is an easy weekend DIY trick:

✏️ The Pen & Pencil Test
Walk around your home where different building materials meet (brick, siding, utility lines, foundations) and poke around with a pen or pencil. If it fits, a mouse can fit too!

🛠️ How to Fix It
Mice chew right through regular foam. Use this combo instead:
1. Copper mesh: Pack gaps tightly first. (Bonus: Unlike steel wool, copper doesn't rust or stain!)

2. Exterior spray foam: Seal right over the mesh to lock it in.
🏡 Prefer to let us handle it?

At McCracken Pest Control, minor rodent exclusion plus full coverage for ants 🐜, spiders 🕷️, and wasps 🐝 are always included in our regular service with zero upcharge.

What does "peace of mind" mean to you? For us, it's sitting down in a home that feels safe, clean(somewhat clean in our case, kids are wonderful at making messes😆) and completely pest-free. We (Matthew & Ashlee) put our hearts into making sure every single customer gets that feeling.

The recent weather has been a rollercoaster of rain and heat, which unfortunately means the bugs are out in full force.
📣MCCRACKEN JOKE OF THE DAY:
Why don't termites ever fight each other?
Because they always agree on a board meeting!🤣

Jokes aside, Prevention is the way to go when handling termites, termites can do serious damage if left unchecked, and we want to make sure your home stays safe. We are deeply grateful for your continuous support. Need us? We're just a call, text, or click away. We are based out of Catlett, VA and go an hour in every direction.

We were just sitting down as a family talking about how truly blessed we are. To everyone who has recommended us, shared our posts, and trusted us with their pest control-thank you. Your support means the world to our family.

Right now, the heat and rain are making the local pest population explode. Honestly, spiders are great at web designing, but terrible at being roommates.

Let us (Matthew & Ashlee) take that stress off your plate. We are based out of Catlett, VA and travel an hour every direction to serve you.

Also it's our oldest son's Birthday today! Happy Birthday to our amazing boy!🎉🎊🎂

Fun fact: Ants don't actually buy umbrellas, they just buy tickets into your kitchen instead!🐜☔

We want to send a massive thank you to everyone who continues to support us. Your support keeps our family going😁

If the bugs are stressing you out, let us handle the hard work so you can get that peace of mind back.

Hey everyone!☀ As a family-owned business, nothing matters more to us than family. When we (Matthew & Ashlee) started McCracken Pest Control, the goal wasn't just to spray bugs. It was to give other families the exact same peace of mind we want in our own home. With all this crazy heat and rain lately, the bugs are trying their best to move inside. Don't let them overstay their welcome! (We only welcome family, not ants).

We are so incredibly thankful for the ongoing support our community shows us. We couldn't do this without you.

Need help? We are based out of Catlett, VA and go an hour each way.

Knowledge is power—especially when it comes to the bugs around your home! 🏡🦟

We are Matthew and Ashlee, local owner-operators of McCracken Pest Control. As a busy family of six, our days are beautifully chaotic, but in the middle of it all, we are so incredibly grateful for how God has blessed us.

One of those blessings is the opportunity to serve our community. We love taking the fear out of pest control by teaching our neighbors what to look out for, what's harmless, and how to keep their families safe. (For us, it's personal—Ashlee is highly allergic to yellow jackets, so we know how important it is to be cautious!).

Because we want your family to have that same peace of mind, we always offer 100% FREE, no-pressure inspections.

📋 Our Neighborly Promise:
If you don't need us, we will happily tell you! We aren’t here to sell you a contract; we’re here to share our knowledge, help you understand your property, and keep it secure.

Whether you have a specific pest question or just want an honest, professional eye to check things over, we've got your back.
