Services
Pest Control
Our organic pest control uses plant-based treatments to eliminate ants, cockroaches, and other household pests. We implement integrated pest management combining physical barriers, habitat modification, and non-toxic treatments. Technicians create customized plans for each property, focusing on long-term prevention rather than temporary solutions. This approach ensures safety for families, pets, and beneficial insects while maintaining effectiveness against common pests.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito management program targets breeding grounds and establishes protective barriers using EPA-exempt botanical treatments. We apply treatments around standing water areas, landscaping, and outdoor living spaces. The service includes seasonal maintenance plans with quarterly applications for sustained protection. Our methods specifically protect pollinators while eliminating mosquito populations through targeted, non-toxic solutions that break their life cycle.
Lawn Care
Our organic lawn care program improves soil health through bio-nutrient applications and liquid aeration. We use OMRI-certified fertilizers combined with minimal chemical inputs to create thick, disease-resistant turf. The service includes weed suppression using salt-based treatments and customized maintenance schedules. This approach reduces water usage while creating lush lawns that remain safe for children and pets through reduced chemical exposure.
Termite Treatment
Our subterranean termite protection uses eco-friendly bait stations that eliminate colonies without soil disruption. The system combines monitoring with targeted baiting to destroy entire colonies at their source. We avoid liquid chemical barriers in favor of slow-acting baits that spread through termite populations. This method provides complete protection while maintaining environmental safety through minimal chemical application.
Wildlife Removal
Our wildlife management service humanely removes nuisance animals using exclusion techniques and habitat modification. We identify entry points, install preventative barriers, and implement deterrent systems. The service includes sealing openings, removing attractants, and creating exclusion zones. Our methods comply with local wildlife regulations while ensuring permanent solutions through structural modifications that prevent future infestations.

I signed up with Green Queen in May 2021 for organic weed control of my lawn. It's now October and the weeds have almost completely overtaken my lawn. I called to complain, and while their customer service rep was polite, she conceded that Green Queen's services for its customers this summer was subpar. They blamed the weather, but that's what weather forecasts are for (for example, today's application was done right before the forecast plainly said it would rain). Bottom line is I paid (handsomely) for a service that I didn't get. I'm moving on to another weed control service. I'm a data sample

Green Queen did a great job cleaning our home. We have signed up for the monthly service. Price point is similar to other services I've used, but what I love is their commitment to using non-toxic products and reducing their environmental impact. They have a very good system in place, with checklists, email reminders, and easy payment options. Great communication and it is easy to add on additional services (oven cleaning etc.) as needed.
