Our team safely addresses attic intrusions, yard invasions, and structural damage while implementing exclusion techniques to prevent future issues. This service combines animal handling expertise with property protection strategies.
Bed Bug Elimination
Our bed bug elimination process utilizes thermal treatment and targeted chemical applications to eradicate infestations at all life stages.

Vexcon just came to my house for the initial inspection for an issue we're having with opossums. I know this is a small thing, but it's something I appreciate very much...and that is that they picked up debris that fell to the ground while they were messing with a hole at the edge of our roof. They really looked around and made sure to get it all. That really means something to me because in the past, we have had painters leave trash (empty water bottles, etc.) all over the place and fence people leave cigarettes all over the ground. I can tell that Vexcon takes pride in their work and I think

I had a possum in my house - It freaked me out a bit ! Rick was so nice, professional, calm and was kind to the animal. Liz was great and they appreciated the fact I was needing help. Thank you ! Won’t call anyone else and you shouldn’t either !
