Drywood Termite Treatment
Our drywood termite program offers an alternative to fumigation by combining borate applications with non-repellent products for lasting colony elimination. We target hidden infestations through gallery injections and utilize transfer effect technology to eradicate entire colonies. This approach ensures residual protection while avoiding the limitations of tenting, with lifetime renewable agreements available for ongoing peace of mind.
Subterranean Termite Service
We protect structures against subterranean termites using non-repellent chemical barriers and borate treatments. Our process includes specialized foam applications in plumbing penetrations to create comprehensive defenses. By integrating inspection protocols with advanced treatment methods, we provide long-term protection and qualify customers for renewable service agreements that guarantee structural safety.
General Pest Control
Our annual pest control programs target common household pests using non-repellent technology and crack/crevice applications. We focus on eliminating nest activity through bait systems while creating exterior defensive perimeters to prevent reinfestation. This strategy covers attics and other neglected areas, ensuring year-round protection without relying on traditional baseboard spraying methods.
Bedbug Removal
Specialized bedbug treatment plans utilize targeted chemical applications and inspection protocols to identify hidden infestations. We employ heat-sensitive detection methods alongside residual treatments to ensure complete colony elimination. Our technicians follow strict decontamination procedures while minimizing disruption to living spaces during the removal process.
Rodent Exclusion
We address roof rat and mouse infestations through exclusion techniques combined with strategic baiting programs. Our approach focuses on identifying and sealing entry points while implementing monitoring systems to prevent future intrusion. This method balances humane removal practices with structural protection measures for lasting results.
