Your Local Exterminator in Alexandria, MN
Why Alexandria Homeowners Call Braness
Living in the Alexandria lakes area is a dream — until spiders, ants, wasps, or mice decide to move in with you. With the Chain of Lakes (Lake L'Homme Dieu, Lake Carlos, Lake Darling, and Lake Le Homme Dieu) surrounding the city, Alexandria has the humidity, vegetation, and waterfront habitat that pests thrive in. As a locally based pest control company serving Alexandria, MN and all of Douglas County, Braness Pest Control knows exactly what you're up against.
Whether you're a year-round resident, a seasonal cabin owner, or running a business on Broadway Street, you want an exterminator in Alexandria, MN who shows up on time, explains what they're doing, and actually solves the problem. That's what we've done for three generations as a family-owned company rooted right here in West Central Minnesota.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. Every Alexandria property is different — a 1920s lakeside cabin has different vulnerabilities than a new build in the Alexandria industrial park. We inspect, identify the source, and build a treatment plan around your home or business.

Alexandria's location in Douglas County — surrounded by the Chain of Lakes — creates specific pest pressures throughout the year. Here are the pests we treat most often around Alexandria.
Targeted Treatments
Pest Control Services We Offer in Alexandria
Spider Control
Alexandria's lake country is prime habitat for spiders. Orb weavers, wolf spiders, and the occasional cellar spider find their way into homes and cabins along Lake L'Homme Dieu and the Chain of Lakes. Our spider control in Alexandria, MN targets entry points, webs, and egg sacs to keep your home spider-free — and we seal up the gaps where they're getting in.
Ant Control
From pavement ants in your kitchen to carpenter ants damaging wood around lake properties, ant problems in Alexandria are common. Our ant control in Alexandria, MN locates the colony, eliminates the queen, and treats the trails so the colony doesn't bounce back in two weeks. For carpenter ants, we inspect for moisture damage and treat the galleries directly.
Wasp Control
Paper wasps and yellowjackets build nests under eaves, in soffits, and in the ground around Alexandria homes — especially near lake docks and decks. Our wasp control in Alexandria, MN removes active nests safely and treats early-season queens before a colony can establish. Don't risk getting stung; let our technicians handle it.
Rodent Control
When fall temperatures drop, mice move into Alexandria homes and cabins looking for warmth. Our rodent control in Alexandria, MN combines trapping, baiting, and exclusion — we find how they're getting in and seal those entry points so you're not dealing with the same problem every winter. Lake homes with crawlspaces and seasonal cabins are especially vulnerable.
