Ants

Small insects, big problems.

Ants are highly social insects that live in colonies ranging from a few hundred to millions of individuals. Carpenter ants can cause significant structural damage by tunneling through wood, and fire ants pose serious health risks with their painful stings.

Warning signs

Visible trails along walls, floors, or counters
Sawdust-like frass near wooden structures
Small soil mounds or dirt piles in the yard
Winged ants swarming indoors in spring

Our treatment

We use targeted baiting programs combined with perimeter treatments. Our technicians locate the colony source and apply professional-grade gel baits that worker ants carry back, eliminating the queen and the entire colony.

1–3 days for visible relief

Bed Bugs

Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Bed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed exclusively on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. They are reddish-brown in color, wingless, and range from 1–7 mm. They hitch rides in luggage and used furniture and can infest even the cleanest homes.

Warning signs

Itchy red welts in a line or cluster on skin
Rust-colored blood stains on sheets or mattress
Dark fecal spots or shed exoskeletons on bedding
Live bugs in mattress seams, box springs, or headboard

Our treatment

We offer heat treatment (raising room temperature to 120Β°F+, lethal to all life stages) and targeted chemical treatment for severe infestations. Every job includes mattress encasement recommendations and follow-up inspections at 14 and 30 days.

Cockroaches

One of the most resilient pests on earth.

Cockroaches are among the most common and resilient household pests. They can survive extreme conditions and reproduce rapidly β€” a single female German cockroach can produce up to 400 offspring in her lifetime. They spread bacteria, trigger asthma and allergies, and contaminate food surfaces.

Warning signs

Cockroaches scurrying when you turn on lights at night
Dark, pepper-like droppings in cabinets or behind appliances
Egg capsules behind furniture or in cracks
Musty, oily odor in the kitchen or bathroom

Our treatment

Our cockroach program combines professional gel baiting, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and crack-and-crevice treatment. IGRs interrupt the reproductive cycle, ensuring long-term control focused on kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas.

Significant reduction in 1–2 weeks

Book treatment

Mice & Rodents

Small gaps, big access.

A house mouse can squeeze through a gap as small as a dime. Rats fit through a hole the size of a quarter. Rodents gnaw on electrical wires, contaminate food, and carry diseases including Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. A single pair of mice can produce 200+ offspring per year.

Warning signs

Droppings along baseboards, in cabinets, or near food
Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, or electrical cables
Shredded paper or fabric used as nesting material
Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls at night

Our treatment

Our rodent program begins with a thorough exclusion inspection β€” we identify and seal every entry point greater than ΒΌ". We then deploy interior snap traps and exterior tamper-resistant bait stations to eliminate the active population.

Active population reduced in 3–7 days

Book treatment

Wasps & Bees

Protect your family from stinging pests.

Wasps (yellow jackets, hornets, paper wasps) are aggressive and can sting multiple times. Unlike wasps, honeybees are beneficial pollinators and we offer humane relocation options. Nests in wall voids, attics, or under eaves can contain thousands of insects and require professional removal.

Warning signs

Visible paper or mud nests under eaves or in trees
High traffic of flying insects near a fixed point
Buzzing sounds from inside walls or ceiling
Aggressive swarming when approaching certain areas

Our treatment

For wasps and hornets, we treat nests with professional dust and aerosol insecticides, then physically remove the nest. For honeybees, we offer live removal and relocation to a local beekeeper. We seal entry points to prevent future colonization.

Immediate nest neutralization

Other Pests

Silverfish, fleas, earwigs & more.

Beyond the most common pests, we handle the full spectrum of household invaders: silverfish destroying books and clothing, fleas turning your pet into a host, earwigs in damp basements, stink bugs overwintering in your walls, and stored-product pests contaminating your pantry.

Warning signs

Irregular holes or yellow stains on paper or fabric (silverfish)
Intense pet scratching and small jumping insects (fleas)
Pincers-bearing insects in dark, damp areas (earwigs)
Small moths or beetles in dry goods and cereals (pantry pests)

Our treatment

Treatment is tailored to the specific pest species. We identify the pest, locate the infestation source, and apply the most appropriate method β€” from residual sprays and dusts to pheromone traps and exclusion measures.
