Services
Pest-Free Home
Our Pest-Free Home service protects households from common pests through customized treatments. We combine interior and exterior applications with preventative measures to ensure year-round protection. Quarterly visits target seasonal pests while addressing existing infestations. The program includes free retreatments between scheduled services and focuses on minimizing chemical use while maintaining effectiveness. Technicians inspect 8-10 homes daily to ensure thorough treatment.
Termidor HP II
The Termidor HP II system eliminates termites using high-pressure (4000 PSI) termiticide application without drilling or trenching. This minimally invasive method creates a continuous chemical barrier around foundations. Backed by a 5-year guarantee covering retreatment, wood replacement, and a $250 compensation clause, it's proven effective against subterranean termites. The exclusive system is available from only three providers statewide.
Rodent Control
Our rodent control service combines exclusion techniques with targeted trapping. Technicians identify entry points as small as inch, seal vulnerabilities, and implement monitoring systems. Treatments address both immediate infestations and long-term prevention. The program includes exclusion work on foundations, vents, and utility penetrations, with follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication.
Moisture Guard
Moisture Guard addresses crawl space humidity issues through encapsulation, dehumidification, and drainage systems. We install vapor barriers, sump pumps, and powered ventilation to maintain optimal moisture levels. The service prevents mold growth, wood decay, and pest infestations caused by damp environments. Technicians replace water-damaged insulation with moisture-resistant alternatives during treatment.
Mosquito Guard
Mosquito Guard reduces populations through source reduction and barrier treatments. Our technicians identify breeding sites like standing water and shaded vegetation, applying larvicides where elimination isn't possible. Barrier sprays target resting areas, providing residual protection for up to three weeks. The seasonal program includes regular treatments during peak mosquito months to maintain outdoor usability.
