Services
Termite Control
Our termite control services include comprehensive inspections, localized treatments, and whole-structure fumigation. We identify drywood and subterranean termite infestations using specialized tools, then implement targeted solutions like soil treatments and the Sentricon System. Our licensed technicians also repair termite-damaged wood to restore structural integrity.
Bed Bug Treatments
We offer advanced bed bug treatments using heat and chemical methods to eliminate infestations completely. Our technicians conduct thorough inspections to locate all bed bug activity areas, then apply targeted treatments that destroy eggs and adults. Follow-up visits ensure complete eradication from mattresses, furniture, and wall voids.
Wildlife Trapping
Our humane wildlife trapping services address raccoons, skunks, opossums, and squirrels invading homes. Licensed technicians perform property inspections to identify entry points, then use live traps to capture and relocate animals. We also seal access points and clean contaminated areas to prevent future infestations.
Fumigation
We provide tent fumigation for severe pest infestations, particularly drywood termites and bed bugs. The process involves covering structures with tarps and introducing fumigants that penetrate all wood components. Our technicians ensure proper ventilation and safety protocols before certifying homes for reoccupation after treatment.
Bird Control
Our bird control solutions address pigeon, seagull, and starling infestations damaging properties. We install physical barriers like netting and spikes, apply repellent gels, and perform nest removal. Our technicians also clean corrosive droppings and repair structural damage caused by persistent bird activity on commercial buildings.
