Services
Pest Control
Our pest control service eliminates common household pests like ants, roaches, and spiders through targeted treatments. Technicians inspect properties to identify entry points and infestation sources, applying safe, proven methods for lasting protection. Regular maintenance plans ensure ongoing pest prevention for residential and commercial clients.
Termite Control
Termite control includes comprehensive inspections and Termidor treatments to eliminate colonies. We provide active infestation treatments and preventative barriers, backed by a warranty covering re-treatments and structural damage repairs. Our services protect properties from subterranean termites through liquid termiticide applications.
Rodent Control
Rodent control features two-step processes: identifying and sealing entry points, followed by monitored trapping programs. Our exclusion methods prevent future infestations while trapping removes existing rodents. Services include a one-year warranty and focus on humane, effective solutions for mice and rat problems.
Mosquito Control
Mosquito control combines fogging, insect growth regulators, and INZECTO traps for comprehensive protection. Custom treatment plans target both adult mosquitoes and larvae, providing 21-30 day protection through one-time or monthly services. Our family-safe methods reduce disease-carrying pests in outdoor spaces.
Lawn Care
Lawn care programs address grass health, weed control, and pest treatments through customized plans. Monthly or bi-monthly visits include fertilizer applications, grub control, and ornamental plant care. Our specialists treat chinch bugs, fire ants, and other lawn-damaging pests while maintaining irrigation systems.

I still have ants after a visit from this company, the people that come to the door are rude, and have no respect for the customer. Doug is a real bad person when it comes to respect for the customer. He acted so bad, I thought he hated me for calling his company.

Hired this company. Paid for the year, they came out once (when I gave them a check). Never again. I called them about 8 weeks after the initial starting date as we now had a bad problem with ants. They wouldnt show up. They told us multiple times they would show up and did not. Terrible company. I ended up doing the job myself.

We signed a year contract with them and had trouble getting the service we needed. When I called the office I was told my service guy contacted me and would not believe me when I said he never called! She said he will call you later today and that call never came. It's been 2 weeks and I still can't get any action.
