What’s Bugging You?
Insect Control
Insects are the largest and most common group of pests to invade residential or commercial buildings and include things like: fleas, ticks, bedbugs, flies, product pests, cockroaches, ants, spiders and other crawling or stinging insects.
Rodent Control
Rodents which commonly invade residential or commercial buildings include several species of mice and rats. We understand species behavior, and can implement effective control measures to permanently remove them
Wildlife Management
Wildlife encompasses essentially all intruders which are not insects or small rodents. We have a strict no-kill policy and pride ourselves on our humane and effective approach to wildlife control.
Environmentally Friendly Pest Control – Things You Should Know
What You Need to Know About Environmentally Friendly Pest Control. Do you know how many bugs live in your home? Most people see the typical roaches, ants, and/or spiders. Humans have created an urban ecosystem for other organisms to survive alongside us.
A study on American homes found that they contain between 32 and 211 species of bugs. While not all of these are harmful, there are the usual suspects like bed bugs or cockroaches that can cause harm. You need to get rid of these safely and effectively.
Environmentally-friendly pest control is always a good choice to keep them out. If you’re not sure about these methods or unfamiliar with how it all works, we’re here to lay it out for you.
What Is Environmentally Friendly Pest Control?
Insects and rodents are infamous for being unwelcome house guests. They don’t only bring destruction to your property. Most harmful pests like ticks come from rodents too.
If you’ve tried to use pesticides before, you know it has side effects that can cause a different kind of damage. Not only do they cause health problems but they can also damage other living organisms in the home. Your plants or pets may have suffered some of the toxic effects of pesticides.

Pest Control
Do botanical products really work for pest control?
Botanical products have made excellent progress in the pest control industry. They are, by nature, botanical and they do not last as long as other products.
The vast array of insects we have here in our region is also incredibly diverse! Botanical products are more focused on maintenance around a home or structure. If a client has a specific tough issue they are challenged with, many times we have a specific product for that insect.
Expectations must also be understood and continuously communicated when relying on botanical products for pest control. The botanical products have a naturally occuring active ingredient and may have a stronger odor, although pleasant smelling to most, than the non-botanical products. These products may take more time to work and may not work as well and will break down outside quicker than the non-botanical options.
Botanical products can certainly enhance the protection of your home from pests. The service may need to happen more frequently throughout the year because the botanical products do not last as long as other products we have access to.
Some are not but many are. The products are certainly a key component in the overall success in managing pests. However, the training and expertise is what is the true difference when hiring an experienced and well managed pest control firm to handle your residential pest control service
Things You Need to Know About Tenting a House for Bed Bugs & More
While tent fumigation, or “tenting,” is usually a last resort for pest infestations, it is also something that sometimes cannot be avoided. If your pest control expert has told you that tenting is in your future, here are some things that you need to know about how fumigation works.
Prep Work for Tenting Is Extensive
Whether you are tenting a house for bed bugs, cockroaches or termites, the work that goes into preparing your house to be fumigated is extensive. There is more to it than simply getting you and your kids and pets out of the house. House plants need to be moved out temporarily. You’ll need to make sure that the doors in your house, big and small, are open. Take all of your bed linens out of the house. You also need to get all of your food and food prep items out of the house as well. You’ll need to make sure that all of your appliances are off and that any gas flames and pilot lights are out.
Prep Work Isn’t Just Inside
While the fumigation gasses are going to be centered inside of your home, some are going to leech out via gaps in the tenting or around the bottom seals. This means that you’re going to need to make sure that you prepare the landscaping that sits close to your home. You’ll need to trim things back so that they are at least a foot away from the structure of your home. This helps keep them protected and keeps unruly shrubs or trees from preventing the tent from fully covering your home.
There are Different Types of Fumigation
Tenting does not get rid of all termites or wood beetles. There are subterranean termites too and those pests will need their own treatment. This extra treatment helps set up a barrier that keeps them from getting from their nest and back into your home.
The Time for Tenting Varies
Some homes only need to be tented for a few hours to solve an infestation problem. Other homes need to be tented for as long as a week. How long your home needs to be tented is going to depend upon the size of your home and the extensiveness of the infestation.
