With baits you do not need to leave your home for treatment. Baits are a good option if you cannot leave your home for a few hours. Sprays are an important option for the control of carpenter ants, pest ants, roaches and many other pests.

For rodents we can use baits, trapping, building out and so on.

Sometimes there’s no reasonable explanation for pests and rodents in your home. They’re just in our environment.

It is important to keep vegetation 3-4 feet away from the exterior foundation of your home. Trim back shrubs and trees that are touching your house.

Seeing numbers of the specific pest inside your house or trailing along the exterior foundation stem wall of your home, around trees, on utility wires and gutters.

NO, we avoid lawns and garden spaces.

We avoid fruit or vegetable areas.

These bugs can be resistant to treatment protocols and their sheer numbers can require multiple treatments for control.

Scheduled pest service over time cuts down on ant activity, spiders, and other pests that cross the same paths as the treatment plan. Rodents have become a habitual problem for many customers and routine monitoring service would be advised. Each pest problem is treated on an individual basis. We are not a one size fits all company. We are a targeted pest control company and strive to be environmentally responsible which means using the least invasive approach necessary to achieve control. Some issues need routine pest control service to achieve the proper control.

We ask that customers for some treatments stay out of their homes for 3 hours. This is more for comfort due to possible odors from products. Once you return to your home it is safe to move around as you would normally. There are specific protocols for specific treatments and we outline these protocols for you before your scheduled treatment. We strive to place products in areas where you won’t come into contact with them. For example; wall voids, attics & crawl spaces, cracks & crevices. If you have a medical condition that could be affected by any product, please discuss this with the office staff before your scheduled appointment.

For most issues we can give you a quote over the phone. Some issues we do need to Bid. Call the office with your specific pest problem and we can schedule as appropriate.
