4. Family Owned Business
In September of 1985, Gene Houseman founded Houseman Pest Control Co. Inc. in his hometown of Watkinsville, GA. His goal was to provide safe and effective pest control to homes and businesses in Northeast Georgia.
Gene has always relied on family to help him achieve his goals. His niece, Donna Houseman has been his secretary since 1990. His brother, Joe Houseman, has been working as a pest control technician since 1991. Joe’s son, Michael, has been working with the company since 1998. Later on, two of Gene’s three children joined the company: Brandon and Sandy Houseman. It seemed only natural for his children to join the company to bring what they have to offer to the company. They wish to continue the great service and help the company prosper. Although every technician is not actually family, they are treated just as if they were. Houseman Services has a respected reputation as a family business with great customer service and the best prices around. This has allowed the company to expand from a two-division company to a five-division company, as well as expanding its service area (please refer to Map of Pest and Termite Service Areas).

When starting up a program we inspect your facility making careful notes of conditions that could harbor pests or allow their entry into your establishment. Using the latest IPM techniques, we then physically remove these pests when possible and utilize non-chemical controls to capture or prevent their return. When necessary, the least toxic chemical controls are utilized to treat your problems. An IPM program may include education, proper waste management, structural repairs, maintenance, biological and mechanical control techniques, and pesticide application.
7. Mosquito Control
Of all the animals on earth, mosquitoes may very well pose the greatest threat to man’s health and existence. Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, such as Malaria, West Nile Virus, Yellow fever, Filariasis, Dengue Fever and Encephalitis kill and debilitate millions of persons worldwide even with today’s advances in medicine. Even as a nuisance biter, they can have a major negative impact on a local economy by inhibiting recreational or work environments. The threat of West Nile Virus is real, and so are other viruses mosquitoes can carry.
Beyond mosquito repellent for protecting you and your family, we offer a long-term control program. For starters, we control adult mosquitoes on your property. Then, we turn our focus to elimination of existing mosquito larvae developing in standing water – to control them before they become breeding, biting adults. In short, we offer a dual approach to reducing mosquito populations, which reduces the number of mosquitoes that may carry such diseases as West Nile Virus, Encephalitis, Dengue, Malaria and Canine Heartworm.

10. Termite Control
Termites are a fact of life in the southeast. Termites cause millions of dollars in damage to structures each year to primarily residences. No structure, not even brick or concrete slab construction, is immune to their insidious appetite. Yet termite infestation is often difficult to detect. Termites work silently and invisibly, sawing into your floor joists, cutting into your wall studs, hollowing out the heart of your home and hiding the damage until it’s too late. One of the greatest hazards any homeowner faces is termites, which cause more damage each year than fires, storms, and earthquakes combined. Termites survive by eating wood, paper, fiberboard, cotton fabrics, and other cellulose products. If ignored, termites can actually threaten the structural integrity of your house, and this is where the danger lies. Houses and other buildings provide termites with the ideal combination of warmth, moisture, and food. Termites can find ways to enter your house that you’ve never thought of. They are small enough to gain entry into hidden areas of basements, crawl spaces, and concrete slabs, through openings as small as 1/32nd of an inch.
11. Wildlife Control
At Houseman Services, once the nuisance animals have been identified, we will safely capture and remove the animals. When animals are removed from within your home our technicians can identify the entry points and recommend the necessary exclusion & damage repair work that should be done to prevent future nuisance animal conflicts. All Work comes with our 100% guarantee.
