Osakis sits on the shores of Lake Osakis, one of the largest lakes in West Central Minnesota, and Braness Pest Control has been protecting its homes and cabins for three generations.

Your Local Exterminator in Osakis, MN
Why Osakis Homeowners Call Braness
Osakis sits on the shores of Lake Osakis — one of the largest lakes in West Central Minnesota — and that water shapes everything about the pest pressures here. Mosquitoes breed in the shallows from May through September, ticks hold in the tall grass around lake lots, carpenter ants find moisture-damaged wood in older lake homes, and spiders build webs on every lakeside porch.
Our Osakis clients are a mix of year-round residents and seasonal cabin owners. We tailor treatments to how the property is used — seasonal mosquito and tick programs for cabins used mostly in summer, year-round perimeter plans for full-time residents, and carpenter ant inspections for older lake homes where water damage invites them in. The goal is the same: let you enjoy the lake without the bugs.
Straddling the Douglas and Todd County line, Osakis is a short drive from our Alexandria base. When you call, you're getting a local, family-owned crew — not a franchise tech driving in from the Cities.

Common Pests in Osakis, MN
Osakis's location in Douglas / Todd County creates specific pest pressures throughout the year. Here are the pests we treat most often around Osakis.
Targeted Treatments
Pest Control Services We Offer in Osakis
Mosquito & Tick Control
Lake Osakis means mosquitoes are a constant presence from May through September, and ticks hold in the tall grass around lake lots and wooded edges. Our mosquito and tick control in Osakis, MN targets the breeding sites around your yard and creates a perimeter treatment so you can actually enjoy your lake property instead of swatting all summer.
Carpenter Ant Control
Older lake homes and cabins around Lake Osakis are prime territory for carpenter ants — they don't eat wood, but they hollow it out to nest in, and moisture-damaged wood is everywhere near the water. Our carpenter ant control in Osakis, MN locates the parent colony and satellite nests, treats the galleries directly, and helps you address the moisture that drew them in.
Wasp Control
Paper wasps and yellowjackets build nests under eaves, in soffits, and in the ground around Osakis lake homes — especially near docks and decks. Our wasp control in Osakis, 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 Osakis lake homes and cabins looking for warmth — and seasonal properties with crawlspaces are especially vulnerable. Our rodent control in Osakis, MN combines trapping, baiting, and exclusion so you're not dealing with the same problem every winter you open up the cabin.
