SERVICES
ALL NATURAL PEST CONTROL
Choosing between a pest free home and a chemical free home shouldn't be a choice you have to make. Our all natural pest control plans provide comfort, peace of mind, environmental safety and most importantly - results. With a customized plan for your home and its surrounding environment, we can effectively use natural products to keep nature where it belongs -outside.
Our natural products use professional grade ingredients such as selectively concentrated plan tissue and cedar oil to make your home or yard inhospitable to pests. These products are able to be applied at higher pressure levels and concentrations than a pesticide due to the face that they are not harmful to children or pests. These two factors allow natural products to provide comparable results when put up against our traditional pest control plans.
ANTS
Ants are one of the most common and reoccurring pests in ur area. Over time they can truly reach every inch of your home if left untreated. While they may seem like a small nuisance at first, eventually ants can start to enter food storage areas and contaminate groceries or home cooked meals. Having a running knowledge of the ant activity in and around your home is an important part of keeping your home ant free over a longer period of time.
Carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, citronella ants, house ants, and pavement ants are all active in our area and can all be at risk of entering your home. Once inside, carpenter ants can cause extensive damage over time, Pavement ants can ruin a nicely manicured lawn, and house ants can even make it into your bed to wake you up in the morning. Once ants become thoroughly established throughout all the floors and walls of your home, removing them may take a varying degree of treatments over time.
While ants can be the most invasive pests, they are definitely the most preventable. A preventative treatment plan is definitely the most effective way to keep ants out for the entire season, but removing an infestation early on after noticing it is also important to preventing a larger long term issue.
BEES & WASPS
While honey bees are endangered and play a vital role in nature, hornets, wasps, yellow jackets and other variations of bees can pose a health risk to your home or business. Nests can be built and concealed in trees, bushes, shrubbery, or in the ground.
Nests which are close to a street or sidewalk can also pose a risk to pedestrians, kids walking home from school, or pets which may be in the yard.
Once the nest is identified, the removal can be truly quick and efficient. Our technicians can remove an outdoor nest without anyone present at the location, and the invoice process can be conducted via email. Most of the time you can go to work with a bee issue and come home to a problem solved.
COCKROACHES
Cockroach species such as the American or German cockroach can truly turn your life upside down. While they may not attack your home from its exterior environment, they can be brought in through deliveries or stored items and slowly makes themselves at home in your cabinets, walls, ceilings, or even furniture. Over time roaches can multiply exponentially and be visible running throughout your home at all hours of the day and night.
Experiencing a cockroach issue is nothing to be embarrassed about, and does not always mean your home is dirty or unsanitary in any way. In apartment buildings and multi-family homes, a roach infestation in a neighboring unit can quickly and easily make its way into your home. While neighboring apartments may be out of your control, making sure your home is cockroach free is the first step to a long term pest free environment.
Our experienced and highly trained technicians will take the time to go through any possible roach harborage sites throughout your home and point out any sanitary or cleaning practices which may have contributed to infestation. After the initial treatment is preformed a follow up treatment will be scheduled. Roaches have been one of the most resilient species on earth for a long time and just because they may no longer be visible does not mean they are not still living in your home in low numbers. Once the final treatment and assessment is preformed and your problem has been solved, regular checkups are usually recommended especially if your home or apartment building have a history of roaches.
RODENTS
Rodents such as roof rats, Norway rats, field, mice, tree mice, and moles have flourishing populations all throughout our area.
Regardless of a structure’s age or condition, an dime sized entry point can sometimes be all it takes. Throughout the years we have witnessed homeowners endlessly try to seal any visible opening around the house only to be disappointed time and time again. Rodents are extremely resourceful and if your home suits their needs they will most likely be able to physically find a way in one way or another.
From fluctuating temperatures, land excavation, food composting, or construction, a long list of environmental factors around your home can contribute to the growth of a rodent population. Certain landscaping or sanitation practices can be brought to your attention by one of our skilled technicians, but others may be out of your control.
Despite their resiliency, rodents can ultimately be kept our of your home over a long term basis. An exterior bait station system secures rodenticide bait in tamper resistant lockable stations designed to divert rodents into the stations and away from your home. With regular checks, these stations can be maintained discreetly and efficiently without having to treat the inside of your home.
MOSQUITOES
Mosquitoes are some of the most problematic pests on a global scale. They feed on human and animal blood as well as plant juices. While in certain parts of the world they are a year-round public health concern, in our area they are active from April - October. Other than Zika virus and West Nile virus, mosquitoes can transmit germs and other unknown diseases from animals.
When adult mosquitoes are active, they look to lay their eggs in slow moving or standing water. Over time breeding sites such as these can appear outside your home or business without being overly noticeable. A clogged gutter or an unused tire are perfect breeding sites for mosquitoes which can pop up under the radar. An unused pool or pool cover are more noticeable examples of breeding sites which can turn your yard into an attractive home for mosquitoes.
While Having a mosquito infested yard can be an issue, applying gallons of pyrethrin based pesticides to your yard may turn into a possible health issue of its own. Our mosquito treatment plan exclusively uses all-natural products with professional grade ingredients such as selectively concentrated plant tissue. In addition to this, removing standing water and taking topographical factors into play help us create a truly custom plan for your home or business.
While a season long treatment plan is recommended for complete control, a one time spray is a perfect preparation for an outdoor party, BBQ, or long weekend.
TERMITES
Termites cause over 4 billion dollars in damage every year. They can attack at a moments notice and cause damage that can remain unseen and over time put the structural integrity of your home in jeopardy. While there are various kinds of termites worldwide, the eastern subterranean termite inhabits the tri-state area. As the seasons change and the top later of soil begins to thaw, swarming termites begin to forage out from the colony in new directions./ As seen on the left, these swarmers can look inconspicuous.
As time goes on, worker termites get into wooden beams or framing inside of your home. If left un-checked and un-treated, this infestation can grow to a costly and dangerous problem. With more and more termites streaming towards your home over time, worker termites (pictured left) can make new pathways that stretch to different areas of your home. While a termite issue should be disclosed during the same of a home, active infestations or past issues can be missed by a home inspector swept under the rug by the seller.
Installing a termite monitoring system will be a long term investment into your home which will prevent or eliminate any termite infestation. Once installed, this system will then be periodically monitored throughout the termite season. Unlike liquid treatments which pump gallons of toxic chemicals underneath the foundation of your home, bait station systems are more eco-friendly and get to termites while in their natural foraging routes. Have some questions? Feel free to give us a call at anytime and discuss more! We'd love to walk you through the process and even give you an in-person consultation.
In the spring, summer, and fall months of the year our yards and outdoor living spaces are a cherished space to enjoy time with our friends, families, and pets. While other pest concerns can be present as well, ticks are an especially dangerous and unnoticeable threat. As deer continue to be overpopulated in our area, ticks can constantly be transmitted by a seemingly harmless passing deer. Capable of transmitting Lyme and other diseases, ticks can latch onto fabric you are wearing, or even your family pet. Once latched on, they can feed on their host or transfer to other surfaces.
Instead of treating large outdoor areas for ticks with potentials harmful chemicals or tearing up parts of your lawn to install traps, we exclusively use professional grade natural products to coat your lawn and outdoor living space all season long. When treated on a regular basis these products will effectively kill and repel ticks which may try to make a home in your yard.
While a season long treatment plan is recommended for complete control, a one time spray is a perfect preparation for an outdoor party, BBQ, or long weekend.
