We provide trusted pest control services in neighborhoods throughout Northern Virginia.

Yes, all of the treatments we use are kid- and pet-friendly, and our Field Experts will employ a safety-minded approach at all times when working in your home or yard. We recommend keeping your pets and children away from treated areas until they have completely dried. This typically takes around 30 minutes for outdoor areas (depending on the weather), and from 1 to 3 hours indoors (depending on ventilation). If you keep aquariums, terrariums, or bird cages in your home, we may suggest additional precautions.

We see all types of pests when treating homes in Northern Virginia. Ants and cockroaches often invade kitchens in search of food and water, while termites silently damage wood behind walls. Rodents sneak into basements and attics for shelter, and spiders hide in quiet corners or hunt actively for prey. 

Outdoors, mosquitoes and ticks thrive in yards, putting families and pets at risk. With so many pests targeting every part of your home, professional pest control gives you the upper hand in keeping infestations under control year-round.

Store-bought products might temporarily eliminate the pests you see, but they usually don’t reach the source of the problem. DIY treatments often miss hidden nesting sites or entry points in walls, floors, and foundations.

Professional pest control addresses the root causes. At Moxie, our Field Experts receive daily training to identify problem areas, understand pest behavior, and apply targeted treatments that deliver longer-lasting results and real peace of mind.

Absolutely. Cockroaches are tough and persistent pests, but our team knows how to handle them. We start by identifying where they’re nesting and how they’re getting in, then use targeted treatments to reduce the population quickly. We also focus on prevention, addressing entry points and conditions that attract roaches in the first place. With our expertise, you can take back control of your home and reduce the stress of a cockroach infestation.

The Mid-Atlantic’s mix of humidity, rainfall, and moderate temperatures creates conditions that are attractive to many pest species. Moist environments give ants and termites the water they need to survive and soften soil for tunneling. Mosquitoes rely on standing water to breed, so rainfall boosts their numbers. Mild winters allow many species to remain active instead of dying off. Combined, these factors allow pests to thrive across the region, making professional pest control vital for Northern Virginia homeowners.

Yes, the seasons in Northern Virginia do affect pests. In spring and summer, rising temperatures and added moisture boost insect breeding and food sources, fueling surges in ants, mosquitoes, and stinging insects. Fall draws rodents indoors as they search for warmth and reliable food supplies. 

While winter slows down some outdoor pests, other invaders like cockroaches and spiders remain active in heated homes where shelter and moisture are plentiful. These seasonal shifts make year‑round prevention the most effective defense.

It’s normal to notice more pests right after your first treatment. This is a sign the service is working because it disturbs their hiding places and drives them into the open. The sudden burst of activity doesn’t last, and within a few days you should see a clear drop in pest activity. If issues come back between scheduled visits, Moxie provides free warranty reservice for all customers on our year-round plans.
