Services
Syntech Basic
Our Syntech Basic program offers economical pest protection with four annual exterior treatments. This service includes initial inspection, cobweb removal, wasp treatment, and year-round warranty coverage for over 20 pests. We use environmentally responsible products and integrated pest management techniques to keep homes pest-free while minimizing environmental impact. Ideal for homeowners dealing with common pests like ants, spiders, and wasps.
Bed Bug Heat Treatment
Our advanced bed bug heat treatment uses industrial-grade heaters to eliminate all life stages of bed bugs in a single day. We raise temperatures to 135F and maintain this for five hours, ensuring complete eradication from furniture, walls, and bedding. The process includes pre-treatment preparation guidance, strategic heat application, and post-treatment residual pesticide application for long-term protection. This chemical-resistant solution provides immediate results with minimal disruption to homeowners.
Bat Removal
Our humane bat removal service utilizes thermal imaging and drones for comprehensive inspections. We install one-way exclusion valves during appropriate seasons, allowing bats to exit without re-entry. Our process includes identifying species-specific behaviors, sealing entry points with durable materials, and providing seasonal exclusion windows to protect maternity colonies. We specialize in resolving attic infestations while maintaining compliance with wildlife protection regulations.
Termite Control
Our Trelona Annual Termite Bait System provides continuous protection against termites. We install perimeter bait stations that termites discover and share with their colony, eliminating infestations within 90-120 days. The system includes annual inspections and bait replacement, with pricing based on home size. This method offers 24/7 protection while being environmentally responsible, with stations continuing to work year-round after installation.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito control service targets resting areas with residual treatments that provide up to one month of protection. Licensed technicians assess yard habitats and apply science-based solutions to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds. We offer seasonal treatments, wedding/event services, and monthly maintenance options. The process includes property assessment, targeted application, and follow-up visits to maintain effective mosquito population control throughout the summer months.

Report
Very thorough inspection. Explained what he was doing and was finding. Found entrance areas and plugged them and left plenty of bait boxes. On the return inspection he found evidence of use and additional concerns with ants and treated the area and outside our home completely. We were very happy with their service and would recommend them versus the " box" name pest control companies.
