Services
Ant Control
Our licensed technicians identify ant species and entry points through free inspections. We implement targeted treatments for sugar ants, pavement ants, and carpenter ants. Preventative measures include sealing vulnerabilities and applying EPA-registered materials to protect homes from future infestations.
Termite Treatment
Specialized treatments target subterranean termites and wood-boring beetles. We conduct thorough inspections to identify damage sources. Our IPM approach combines physical barriers and low-impact pesticides to protect structural integrity while minimizing environmental exposure for Portland homeowners.
Bed Bug Eradication
Comprehensive bed bug treatments use heat and chemical applications to eliminate infestations. Our technicians perform detailed inspections of mattresses, furniture, and baseboards. Follow-up treatments ensure complete eradication of these resilient pests through our Platinum Eagle service plan.
Bat Exclusion
We safely remove bats through one-way vent installation after identifying entry points. Our humane exclusion process follows state regulations while preventing re-entry. Technicians seal attic vulnerabilities to protect homes from future bat infestations and associated health risks.
Bird Nuisance Control
Professional bird control services address roosting issues in eaves and attics. We install deterrent systems to prevent property damage from droppings and nesting materials. Our solutions protect commercial properties and homes from health hazards associated with persistent bird infestations.
