Services
Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control service addresses infestations of ants, roaches, fleas, and other common pests through systematic inspections and targeted treatments. Technicians identify entry points and breeding areas to implement both immediate solutions and long-term prevention strategies. The service includes follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication while maintaining safe environments for families and pets.
Termite Treatment
Specialized termite treatment utilizes the Termidor HP High Precision Injection System for subterranean termite barriers. This trenchless technology delivers precise chemical application directly to termite galleries, creating undetectable treatment zones that eliminate colonies. The process includes post-treatment monitoring and includes a transferable warranty for property resale purposes.
Wildlife Removal
Professional wildlife removal addresses squirrel, raccoon, and rodent infestations through humane trapping and exclusion techniques. Our technicians identify structural vulnerabilities, remove animals using legal and ethical methods, and implement exclusion measures to prevent re-entry. The service includes attic and crawl space sanitation to eliminate health hazards from animal waste.
Mosquito Control
Mosquito control programs combine habitat modification with targeted pesticide application to reduce breeding grounds. Technicians conduct property assessments to identify standing water sources, apply larvicide treatments where necessary, and implement adult mosquito control measures. The service includes seasonal maintenance plans to protect outdoor living areas throughout peak mosquito months.
Termite Inspection
Certified termite inspections follow state-mandated protocols for real estate transactions and include comprehensive WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) assessments. Inspectors examine structural components for active infestations, previous damage, and conducive conditions. The service provides detailed reports with photographic documentation and treatment recommendations for both sellers and prospective homebuyers.
