Services
Rodent Control
Our rodent control service includes thorough inspections, access point blocking, and trapping or baiting. We address infestations of mice, rats, and other rodents that threaten property integrity and health. Clients receive customized solutions based on infestation severity, with follow-up visits included in our preventative maintenance plans.
Annual Preventative Maintenance Spray
This quarterly spray program runs from March to October, covering four perimeter treatments. It prevents common pests like ants, spiders, and earwigs while addressing emerging issues at no extra charge. The service uses eco-friendly chemicals safe for homes, schools, and commercial spaces.
New Construction Pre-treatments
We apply borate preservatives to wood in new or remodeled homes during the dried-in stage. This treatment inhibits mold growth and kills wood-destroying organisms, offering long-term protection. The child- and pet-safe chemical is ideal for preventing termite and carpenter ant infestations.
Wood Destroying Organism Inspections
Our licensed inspectors identify wood-destroying pests like termites and Anobiid beetles. Required for real estate transactions, these inspections assess damage and recommend treatments. We provide detailed reports to ensure compliance with refinancing or home purchase requirements.
Honey Bee Extraction
We safely relocate honey bee swarms from residential and commercial properties. If relocation isn't feasible, we connect clients with local beekeepers. This service minimizes harm to pollinators while resolving infestations in walls, attics, and other structures.
