Many homes here are historic stone and frame construction dating back to the 1700s and 1800s, set in a river valley that holds onto moisture and carries real flood exposure near the water. That kind of persistent dampness against old foundations is exactly what termites look for, and the same undisturbed, moisture-heavy basements give spiders a comfortable place to settle in. A structure built two centuries ago has had far more time to develop the small gaps and cracks that let both pests inside.
Go-Forth Home Services has protected homes across the region for over 60 years, and we bring that same experience to properties both old and new. Our technicians know how to read the signs a historic structure shows differently from a newer one, and every visit is backed by our EPA-approved, pet-friendly products. A stone foundation from another century tells a different story than a poured concrete slab, and we treat each one accordingly.

Residential Pest Control
A historic, moisture-prone property needs a different approach than a newer build across town, which is why Go-Forth Home Services inspects each home rather than applying the same treatment everywhere. Beyond termites and spiders, our general service also covers ants, rodents, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, bed bugs, and stinging insects, so a single plan handles whatever a property runs into throughout the year. Every treatment uses EPA-approved products safe for kids and pets, backed by our pest-free guarantee.
Whether your home dates back centuries or was built last decade, our technicians know how to inspect it the right way and recommend a plan that genuinely fits.
Persistent moisture from a river valley setting works its way into old wood and foundation lines over time, giving subterranean termites an easier path toward a structure than they'd find in a drier location. Watch for these signs:
Mud tubes running along the foundation, crawl space, or exterior walls
Hollow-sounding or soft wood near door frames, decks, or fencing
Discarded termite wings near windowsills after a swarm
Small holes or blistering in painted or varnished wood
Sagging floors or ceilings in more advanced cases
Termite damage builds quietly, often for months before anyone notices, and in a home with genuine historic value, the repair cost of ignoring early signs runs even higher than usual since original materials are harder to replace in kind. A yearly inspection from Go-Forth Home Services catches early activity before it becomes a costly repair.

Old stone and frame basements that stay damp and see little regular foot traffic give spiders undisturbed places to build webs and lay eggs, especially in a structure with a few centuries of settled cracks and gaps. A basement that's stood since before indoor plumbing existed has had far longer to accumulate those hiding spots than a modern one. Watch for these signs:
Webs collecting in corners, window wells, or along basement walls
Egg sacs tucked into storage boxes, closets, or utility areas
An increase in other small insects, since spiders follow their food source indoors
Sightings near foundation cracks or old mortar joints where they first entered
Most spiders found indoors are more of a nuisance than a real health risk, but a rising population usually points to another pest problem feeding them, and a persistently damp basement makes that population grow faster than it would in a dry one. Go-Forth Home Services treats entry points and known hiding spots to bring spider activity back down.

I'm very grateful that I found this company today!
“Amazing response time, reasonable prices, great customer service. Tevin was thorough and confident in his plan to fix our horrendous fire ant problem. We have had negative experiences with prior exterminators and probably waited way too long to call Go-For”
- Ashley T.
Great service with excellent solutions for any of our needs.
“We have been customers for almost 7 years for a reason. Our technician is the best. He always knows exactly how to address whatever pest has decided to bother us. We have referred them to many of our neighbors. Well worth the cost not to have to worry abou”
