Services
Termite Control
Our termite control specialists use Sentricon AlwaysActive technology to eliminate colonies and prevent structural damage. Initial inspections identify infestation extent, followed by bait system installation and ongoing monitoring. Backed by a service warranty, treatments target both subterranean and drywood termites using non-invasive methods.
Rodent Control
Certified technicians implement exclusion strategies, sealing entry points with copper mesh and foam. Tamper-resistant bait stations manage exterior populations while interior treatments address existing infestations. Follow-up inspections ensure complete eradication, with prevention advice to avoid future rodent problems in homes and businesses.
Bed Bug Treatment
Combining K-9 inspections with heat treatments and EPA-registered insecticides, we target all bed bug life stages. Services include mattress encasement, furniture treatment, and post-service prevention guidance to protect against reinfestation in residential properties.
Mosquito Control
Monthly misting treatments target breeding areas from April to September. Biological larvicides treat standing water while perimeter sprays create protective barriers. Special event services available for weddings and outdoor gatherings in peak mosquito season.
Ant Control
Technicians identify colony locations using baiting systems and perimeter treatments. Services address odorous house ants, carpenter ants, and pavement ants through exterior barrier sprays and interior gel bait applications, with seasonal maintenance plans to prevent recurrence.
