Services
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito control program uses gas-powered mist blowers to apply EPA-registered pyrethroid insecticides in resting areas like foliage and eaves. Treatments occur monthly April-October with guaranteed 85-90% reduction in bites for three weeks. Includes rain-resistant surfactant formulation and free retreatments if effectiveness diminishes.
Termite Control
Termite and carpenter ant control utilizes Termidor SC, a non-repellent insecticide that eliminates entire colonies. Services include annual inspections, targeted treatments, and exclusion techniques. Combines with quarterly basic pest control for immediate spot treatments when needed, providing comprehensive wood-destroying insect protection.
Fire Ant Control
Biannual fire ant treatments use abamectin-based baits that colonies consume and spread internally. Includes spring and fall applications with unlimited spot treatments during summer. Reduces populations by over 90% while promoting native ant colonization to prevent reinfestation through competitive exclusion.
Rodent Control
Multi-strategy rodent control combines trapping, baiting, and exclusion. Unlimited initial treatments eliminate existing infestations with biannual maintenance visits. Tamper-proof stations protect children and pets while sealing all entry points to prevent future invasions using permanent exclusion methods.
BeeGreen Service
Our proprietary BeeGreen program enhances IPM practices through reduced-risk pesticides and advanced exclusion techniques. Available with basic pest and termite packages, this environmentally conscious solution maintains effectiveness while minimizing chemical use by up to 90% compared to conventional treatments.
