The Alexandria Pest Services story started more than 20 years ago, when company founder, Richard Diggs began his career with major pest control companies as a commercial and residential technician, followed by regional sales manager, and then technical advisor. He was promoted rapidly and quickly gained recognition as a top performer. This led him to ultimately establish his own pest control firm. Today, APS is a leader in the local pest control industry with over 3,800 residential, commercial, state and local, and Federal government clients in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area.

The thought of mice infestation or a rat problem causes anxiety for many home and business owners, for good reason. Rodents can carry disease, create safety hazards by chewing through electrical wiring, and are hard to eliminate. They can squeeze through tiny holes, climb just about anywhere, and even swim. They also multiply quickly. For example, a female mouse can give birth to 10 litters per year, and the babies will be ready to reproduce within two months. The best way to eliminate a rodent infestation is to stop them from entering your property.

Termites infest more than 5 million United States homes each year, causing more than $5 billion in home damages-more damage than earthquakes, tornadoes and fires combined. The Washington, D.C. metropolitan area is heavily infested with termites, according to the U.S. Department of Forestry. Termites work twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week devouring cellulous material found in wood, paper, drywall, and other materials in your home to provide for their colonies. And once termites find a good spot, they share their location with other termites using a sophisticated pheromone communication system.

Bed bugs live anywhere people sleep-in homes, hotels, hospitals and schools-and quietly feed on human blood. If that's not enough to motivate you to get rid of bed bugs, the tell-tale itchy red bumps they leave behind on your skin should do the trick! Finding and eliminating bed bugs is best left to the professionals. Bed bugs like to hide in small crevices, making them difficult to detect and even harder to kill. They often hide in bedroom walls, mattresses, carpet, nightstands and even alarm clocks.
