Services
Termite Treatment
Our termite treatment combines Termidor liquid applications and Trelona baiting systems to eliminate colonies. The non-repellent termiticide spreads through social contact between termites, destroying entire colonies within 90 days. We install monitoring stations around properties for ongoing protection. This dual-method approach provides immediate action while preventing future infestations through annual maintenance programs.
Rodent Control
Our rodent control program uses tamper-resistant bait stations and habitat modification to reduce mouse populations. Technicians install four exterior stations per property and conduct seasonal maintenance. The program specifically targets white-footed mice that carry Lyme disease, reducing tick populations by eliminating their primary hosts. We combine chemical control with exclusion recommendations to prevent re-infestation.
Tick Control
Our no-spray tick control focuses on transition zones using granular treatments and permethrin-infused tick tubes. The cotton-filled tubes are collected by mice for bedding, killing attached ticks while reducing chemical applications. Combined with rodent population management, this approach breaks the tick lifecycle at multiple stages. Treatments target nymph-stage ticks that pose the highest disease transmission risk to humans.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito control program eliminates breeding sites and applies targeted treatments to resting areas. Technicians focus on shaded transition zones where mosquitoes congregate, using eco-friendly granular products. We educate clients on habitat modification while implementing barrier treatments that reduce populations without harming beneficial insects. The program specifically addresses container-breeding Asian tiger mosquitoes prevalent in our service area.
