Martinsville is the seat of Morgan County and the southern edge of our service area, where Central Indiana turns into hills, hardwood forest, and the White River bottoms. Homes here are older in town, around the courthouse square and the historic neighborhoods, and rural on the edges: wooded lots, outbuildings, barns, and properties bordering Morgan-Monroe State Forest and the river. That is prime territory for raccoons, bats, groundhogs, and squirrels, for carpenter ants in damp wood, for brown recluse spiders, for ticks, and for termites.
Pest Assassin has serviced Martinsville and Morgan County since 2018. Residential plans with no contracts, wildlife removal and exclusion done to Indiana regulations, and technicians who know the difference between a rural property's pests and a subdivision's.
Pests We Treat Most in Martinsville
- Wildlife Raccoons, squirrels, bats, groundhogs, and skunks on wooded and rural properties are the leading call in Martinsville, and exclusion work is most of the job.
- Ants Carpenter ants in damp wood, from porch posts and window frames to barns and outbuildings, with odorous house ants inside in summer.
- Spiders Brown recluse are common in southern Indiana and turn up in attics, garages, barns, and stored boxes; wolf spiders come indoors every fall.
- Termites Older homes with crawl spaces and any structure with wood touching soil carry high termite risk in Morgan County.
- Rodents Mice in every home and outbuilding each fall, and deer mice on rural properties, which changes how droppings should be cleaned up.
- Stinging Pests Paper wasps, bald-faced hornets in the trees, yellow jackets in the ground, and carpenter bees in barns, decks, and fences.
Bed bug heat treatment and mosquito barrier service in Martinsville are handled by our sister companies. See the bed bug and mosquito pages for how those work.

About Martinsville, Indiana
Martinsville is a town of about twelve thousand people in Morgan County, southwest of Indianapolis along State Road 37 and the White River, once known as the Artesian City for its mineral springs. It has a supportive small-town community with artisan shops and new restaurants around the downtown square, free concerts and outdoor movies, and easy access to Morgan-Monroe State Forest, Jimmy Nash City Park, and the river. The wooded hills that make it beautiful also make wildlife and outdoor pests a constant part of owning property here.
We regularly service downtown Martinsville, the historic neighborhoods around the courthouse square, the State Road 37 corridor, the properties along the White River, the wooded lots toward Morgan-Monroe State Forest, Jimmy Nash City Park, Washington Township, and the rural routes toward Paragon and Brooklyn. If you are anywhere in or around Martinsville, we cover you.
Martinsville Pest Control Questions
Yes. Cockroach droppings and shed skins, rodent urine and dander, and dust mites are among the most common indoor allergy and asthma triggers. Treating the infestation and cleaning up properly, with the droppings wetted and never swept dry, removes the source.
By inspection: the size, color, and markings of what we find, plus the evidence it leaves behind, such as droppings, damage patterns, entry points, and where and when it is active. Correct identification is the whole reason our treatments work when store-bought sprays do not.
Yes, and on rural properties it is common: mice in the garage, carpenter ants in a damp porch post, and wasps in the barn all at the same time. One inspection covers all of it and the treatment plan addresses each pest with the right method.
Yes. The barrier treatment applied along wooded edges, tall grass, and brush reduces ticks along with mosquitoes, and it is available through Mosquito Assassin, our sister company. Keeping grass short and brush cleared along the tree line helps between treatments.
