Services
Mosquito Treatments
Our EPA-approved mosquito treatments use pyrethroid-based solutions to effectively reduce mosquito populations. Technicians apply barrier sprays every 21 days during peak season, targeting breeding areas while ensuring safety for plants and pets. Non-organic treatments provide extended protection for properties in high-risk zones.
Organic Treatments
Organic pest control utilizes essential oil compounds to repel and kill mosquitoes and ticks on contact. These environmentally conscious treatments require biweekly applications due to their natural composition, offering effective protection without synthetic chemicals for eco-conscious clients.
Tick Control
Specialized tick treatments target black-legged ticks that carry Lyme disease and other pathogens. Both organic and synthetic options create protective barriers around properties, with recommended treatments every 60 days during active seasons to maintain effectiveness against nymph and adult tick populations.
Spotted Lanternfly Treatment
Professional eradication services combat spotted lanternfly infestations threatening New Jersey agriculture. Technicians identify and treat host plants, applying targeted treatments to tree trunks and surrounding areas to break the pest's life cycle and protect crops and hardwood trees.
Commercial Pest Control
Customized pest management programs for commercial properties including restaurants, parks, and agricultural businesses. Services include site-specific assessments, regular treatments, and documentation to meet health and safety regulations while maintaining customer enjoyment of outdoor spaces.
