- AntsHouse Ants are foragers that will enter your home in search of food, moisture, and new nesting sites. House ants can appear during all seasons of the year, but are more prevalent in the spring and summer months. During the spring and summer months a colony can be treated from the exterior and this will prevent the house ants from entering your house. During the winter months the colony can move to the interior walls of a home through the wall joints. These situations are identified and treated by addressing wall voids and other hidden areas of a home. Our technicians use non repellent treatments along with attractant gels and baits to eradicate house ant colonies. Given the nature of house ants, a monthly or quarterly maintenance program is suggested.
- Spiders
- TermitesCarpenter ants are a common and destructive wood destroying insect, ranging in size from 1/6 to 3/4 inch; and are the largest ant to infest a home. You may find winged “reproductive” ants (swarmers) in the spring and summer months indicating a moderate to severe infestation. Carpenter ants are active at all times of the day but may be most active at night. Another common sign of infestation are piles of Frass which is similar to sawdust, but Frass has insect parts mixed into the dust. Carpenter Ants do not actually eat the wood like termites do; they are simply making tunnels in the wood to create a nest. As the colony grows, the nest area is constantly increasing. This type of damage can be more destructive than termites. Our inspectors will thoroughly inspect your home (free of charge) and recommend the right course of action to protect your home from any further damage.
- CockroachesThe German cockroach is a problem facing many households and restaurants in our area. Since they are easily adaptable, many consider them to be the most successful species of insect in the world. They tend to feed at night and can live for a month on one greasy finger print! Our technicians use the latest technology in Roach treatments in order to eliminate infestations. A common misconception is that only dirty kitchens can get roaches. The truth is that even the cleanest of kitchens can become infested. Because we use food based roach baits, it is important to keep your kitchen clean to remove any other food sources.
- BeesBees, hornets, and wasps tend to become a problem during the early summer and become more dangerous as fall approaches; this is because as time progresses the number of mature bees steadily increases. In the fall yellow jackets are the most dangerous because they often nest in the ground or in structures where they are difficult to see and where you could accidentally come contact with them. Our technicians are friendly professionals who have years of experience dealing with bees, wasps, and hornets and their nests; our treatments are thorough and come with a thirty day warranty.

- RaccoonsRaccoons are intelligent and resourceful animals. They have extremely strong and articulate “hands” which allow them to climb, virtually, any structure and break into almost any attic. The problem is that they are extremely destructive. Aside from the damage that is caused by their breaking and entering, the fecal matter and urine can make a big mess in an attic. In severe cases attic insulation will need to be replaced and the entire attic sanitized. The good news is that this animal’s damage is usually covered by homeowners insurance. We have to trap and physically remove raccoons from your property. Once they are gone, we can seal up any opening that they have made and make your home less inviting to other animals. We offer a one year warranty on areas we seal up. If raccoons return, we will attempt to trap them and repair our seal up, at no cost.
- SnakesExcellent business! Most pest control companies just come once a month or a quarter and spray for insects and change baits (you feel like you are just a number and a dollar sign to them), but these guys do all that AND deal with occasional wildlife and other animals. They have always been very responsive to any of my pest-related concerns and questions. They never try to up-sell or get you to pay for unnecessary services. Just honest, upfront, and friendly, and very solution-oriented.In the past, I had persistent problems with snakes, mice, and insects entering my basement from the outside. Other pest control companies would just offer to do a periodic trapping using baits, but wouldn't offer any other solutions. Veteran Pest guys came out, did a thorough examination of my house, and dealt with all the intrusion points (even to the attic). They patched what needed to be plugged, put mesh over vents, and used a special material that breathes moisture for the oversized (yes, built incorrectly) weep holes that were entry points (confirmed by tiny droppings inside). Since then I have had no more snake or mice and only an occasional spider or two in the basement.I recommend them highly. I wish all the home service companies, technicians, and contractors around here were like these guys.
- Wildlife
- Opossums
- Birds
- Rodents
- MiceAs the picture depicts, mice and rats are difficult to control because they procreate so quickly. Mice can have liters by the age of six weeks and every three weeks after. To tackle this problem, we start with a thorough inspection; starting with looking for exterior entry points and sealing them off. We will then follow up with an inspection and treatment on the inside of you home and treat the mice that have taken up residence in wall voids and flooring. We recommend monthly follow-ups in order to resolve and treat your rodent issue quickly.
- Rats
- SquirrelsWe had a problem with squirrels coming through our roof and running around in our attic. Luckily we found this wonderful company to help out out. They trapped and removed two squirrels and (after no more activity for a number of weeks) closed up the opening. They were very professional and gave us a 3 year warranty for their work. I would highly recommend them.
