Services
Pre-Treatment Services
Our pre-construction termite treatments protect structures before building begins. We apply EPA-registered termiticides to soil or wood framing according to Florida Building Code requirements. Our state-of-the-art equipment handles large-scale projects efficiently while maintaining precise application standards. This preventive approach creates long-term protection against termite infestations in residential and commercial developments.
Perimeter Pest Program
This quarterly service creates protective barriers around properties to prevent pest intrusion. Our technicians apply targeted treatments to exterior foundations, eliminating entry points for common pests like ants, spiders, and cockroaches. The program includes initial inspections, customized treatment plans, and ongoing maintenance visits without requiring homeowners' presence during routine applications.
Termite Control
We provide comprehensive termite treatment solutions for active infestations. Our licensed technicians identify termite species and apply appropriate treatments using industry-leading products. Services include thorough inspections, targeted chemical applications, and follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination. We also offer $3 million damage repair warranties and Wood Destroying Organism Inspection Reports for real estate transactions.
BORA-CARE Treatments
This borate-based solution protects wood structures from termites and decay. Applied during construction's 'dried in' phase, it prevents infestations by creating toxic environments for wood-destroying organisms. The treatment combats multiple termite species, carpenter ants, and wood-decay fungi while offering optional mold prevention when combined with MOLD-CARE additives.
Rodent Extermination
Our rodent control services address infestations through comprehensive inspections, exclusion techniques, and humane removal practices. Technicians identify entry points, implement sealing solutions, and apply deterrents to prevent re-infestation. We provide documentation for real estate transactions and offer preventive measures to protect properties from future rodent activity.
