Shelby Pest Control
Pest Control Solutions Tailored for Homes and Businesses
Pests don’t just create a mess—they can cause property damage and introduce health hazards that put your household or office at risk. Whether you're hearing noises in the attic, spotting ants along the baseboards, or dealing with mosquito bites in your backyard, it helps to have a reliable team. At Go-Forth Home Services, we provide full-service pest control that includes thorough inspections, tailored treatments, preventative strategies, and ongoing maintenance to help keep your property pest-free year-round.
Our team proudly serves homeowners and businesses in Shelby, Gastonia, Kings Mountain, Cherryville, and surrounding areas throughout Cleveland and Gaston counties. The climate in this part of North Carolina, especially the humid summers, creates the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, termites, and other seasonal pests. Our technicians can recognize the signs of regional infestations and apply targeted, effective, and safe treatments. We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach—we take the time to assess each property and customize our recommendations based on your needs and the pest activity in your area.
If you've noticed signs of pests or want to prevent a problem, we can help. Contact us at (877) 274-1475 to schedule a pest inspection in Shelby and get started with a plan that works for your property.
What to Do if You Notice a Pest Problem
It’s not always obvious when pests have made themselves at home. Still, small warning signs can quickly turn into larger problems if ignored. Acting quickly helps limit the damage and prevents the infestation from spreading—especially in areas like Shelby, where dense vegetation and warm, humid weather make ideal conditions for many types of pests.
Keep an eye out for the following red flags:
- Droppings – Small pellets or dark smudges found near walls, in cabinets, or behind appliances may indicate rodents or insects.
- Nesting – Look for shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in tucked-away areas like basements, attics, or crawlspaces.
- Visible insects – Ants on your kitchen counter, fleas on your pets, or cockroaches in the bathroom signify it’s time to act.
- Noises – Scratching, tapping, or rustling—especially at night—can signal rodents moving through walls or ceilings.
- Unusual smells – Persistent musty, oily, or sour odors can result from pest nesting or waste buildup.
- Property damage – Chewed wires, gnawed wood, or holes in screens and walls are often caused by rodents or wildlife.
- Plant damage – Yellowing leaves, wilting plants, or chewed stems may suggest insects are targeting your garden or landscaping.
Pests don’t go away on their own, and waiting too long can increase the risk of structural damage and health concerns. We offer same-day service and free inspections to give you peace of mind as soon as you notice a problem. There’s no pressure or obligation—just a prompt, honest assessment and a clear explanation of what to expect if treatment is needed.

How Routine Pest Control Can Help You Stay Ahead of Infestations
Staying on top of pest control isn’t just about reacting when you see bugs or rodents—it’s about preventing them in the first place. That’s why many homeowners choose routine services, which can be scheduled quarterly or bi-monthly, depending on your needs and the level of pest activity in your area. If you live where infestations tend to be more persistent or seasonal issues are common, monthly add-on treatments can help strengthen your protection even further.
Preventative pest control breaks the cycle before pests multiply and cause damage. Regular visits allow us to spot early warning signs and treat problem areas before they get out of hand. Our services include indoor and outdoor coverage, targeting entry points, crawl spaces, landscaping, and other areas where pests are likely to hide. With a consistent plan, your home stays more secure year-round, and you can avoid the stress and cost of last-minute pest emergencies.
