Services
Ant Extermination
Our ant treatment strategy identifies species, locates colonies, and eliminates queens using baits, residual sprays, and insecticide dust. We address multi-queen colonies through customer consultations to determine infestation history. Treatments last 3-6 months, targeting ants' food sources and entry points in kitchens and bathrooms.
Stinging Insect Removal
We safely remove stinging insect nests (yellow jackets, hornets, carpenter bees) using protective gear and EPA-approved materials. For honey bees, we coordinate with local beekeepers for relocation. Treatments include nest removal, residual sprays, and sealing entry points to prevent re-infestation in structures.
Rodent Control
Our rodent control includes structural inspections to seal entry points and eliminate existing populations through trapping and baiting. Tamper-resistant stations protect children and pets. Commercial treatments target dumpster areas, using burrow identification and targeted applications to eradicate rat infestations.
Bed Bug Treatment
We implement a three-treatment protocol spaced 10-14 days apart, combining inspections, residual sprays, and growth inhibitors. Our EPA-approved materials target bed bugs' life cycle, preventing reproduction. Detailed service reports track progress, with preparation guidance to optimize treatment effectiveness.
Spider Control
Our spider control targets entry points and food sources through perimeter treatments. We apply residual materials to eliminate spiders' insect prey and remove webs from structures. Treatments focus on exterior cracks and openings where spiders typically enter homes and offices.
