Services
Bed Bug Extermination
Our bed bug extermination service uses state-of-the-art equipment and chemical-safe methods to eliminate infestations in residential and commercial properties. Technicians identify infestation patterns through mattress inspections and environmental assessments, then implement targeted treatments that include heat therapy, encasement solutions, and residual pesticide applications. The process ensures complete eradication while maintaining safety for occupants and pets, with follow-up treatments included in our lifetime protection guarantee.
Termite Control
Specializing in subterranean termite control, we offer comprehensive inspections using moisture meters and borescopes to detect hidden damage. Our treatment protocol combines liquid termiticide barriers with Advance Termite Bait Systems, creating dual defense mechanisms against colonies. All treatments include structural integrity assessments and documentation meeting NYC building code requirements, with quarterly monitoring included to prevent reinfestation through our lifetime service plan.
Rodent Baiting
This service follows NYC Department of Health protocols for pre-demolition rodent abatement. Certified technicians conduct perimeter inspections to identify entry points, then install tamper-resistant bait stations with continuous monitoring. The process includes exclusion techniques like steel wool sealing and silicone caulking, plus decontamination of nesting areas using EPA-registered disinfectants. Documentation packages include infestation maps and rodent-free certification for permit applications.
Flea Extermination
Our integrated flea management system targets all life stages through premise treatments and pet-safe environmental applications. Technicians use insect growth regulators combined with botanical insecticides to break the reproductive cycle, followed by steam cleaning recommendations for carpets and upholstery. The service includes sanitation guidance for pet owners and exclusion advice to prevent reinfestation from wildlife vectors like raccoons and opossums.
Commercial Pest Control
Designed for multi-unit buildings and commercial establishments, this service includes quarterly inspections with digital reporting and customized treatment plans. Our IPM approach combines mechanical exclusion, sanitation audits, and targeted pesticide applications in non-public areas. Documentation meets NYC health department standards for restaurants, healthcare facilities, and hospitality venues, with 24/7 emergency response available for critical infestations.
