What Makes Us Better?
There are many key things that differentiate us from our competitors. Our company was built on a culture of trust and integrity, and we make this promise: we will always be honest and up front with you about the cost of our services. We know that many organizations in the area quote one price and then add fees as they do the work, which is dishonest and frustrating to you as the customer. We treat our customers like (extended) family - you still have to pay us because we're going to do the work, but you'll get the highest quality service available, guaranteed.
Bed BugsAccording to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), bed bugs are the number one pest affecting public health in the entire country. The small creatures bite humans in order to feed on blood. Bed bug bites are surprisingly common and are not typically known to carry any kind of disease. If you are bit by a bed bug, you'll most likely have one or more red marks, which will become very itchy. Because these insects can multiply rapidly, it's important that you call us as soon as you identify a problem.

SilverfishSilverfish are tiny, nocturnal insects with no wings. They get their name from their silver outer appearance, which comes from a carbohydrate based diet. Silverfish like humid areas, so they tend to hide in places that are near a water source, such as the kitchen, the sink, the bathroom, the attic, etc. Also, they can survive for more than a year without food. Knowing what you know now, you can see why professional pest control services are needed.

TermitesTermites are part of the roach family of insects. Much like ants, they form complex colonies that can house anywhere from hundreds to millions of termites in order to protect their species and survive. Also like ants, termites follow a caste-system where there is a king, a queen, soldiers, and workers. With the exception of Antarctica (because of the freezing temperatures), these pests have managed to spread across the entire globe, populating and thriving on each continent. Their life expectancy can approach well over 40 years. If you have termites, these pests aren't going anywhere without our help.

AntsAnts represent the 2nd most common pest control problem of all insects, having colonized nearly early continent on the planet with the exception of those areas with freezing temperatures, such as Antarctica. To date, scientists have identified 12,500 species of ants, dating back over 120 million years. Their survival as a species is almost entirely based upon their ability to colonize land in a structured, socially organized format, similar to a human caste system. When one ant dies, it becomes food and more ants will come, carpenter ants especially.

MiceMice are small, mostly nocturnal rodents that are classified as a pest, despite that fact that some people have them as pets. Mouse control is important because mice are known to spread disease through their feces and by way of parasites they have contracted. Beyond their potential to spread viruses, mice can cause structural damage to wood and other materials by chewing through it and making holes. Although mice do not see well, their hearing ability is off the charts, allowing them to avoid capture more easily. Lastly, it's in your best interest to prevent mice infestation, so act quickly because they reproduce rapidly, like most other pests.

FleasAnother small insect, fleas are adept at sucking blood to stay alive. There are a couple thousand types of fleas that have been identified across the globe so far. Fleas are well known for their negative affiliation with dogs and cats. When reproducing, the female lays many eggs at once, and they only takes a couple days to hatch. A flea exterminator should be called right away to take care of the flea removal because they easily spread viruses and diseases very rapidly to both man and animals.

RatsRats are almost exactly like mice, but can be differentiated based on their larger size and typically brown or black color. Rats eat almost anything and destroy nearly all materials with the exception of metal and steel. Like mice, rats spread disease through contracted parasites and their feces. Although their average life span is only a year, rat control is important nonetheless.

WaspsWasps are flying insects that sting to kill their prey and to defend themselves. There are more than one hundred thousands kinds of wasps worldwide, but the two everyone knows are hornets and yellow jackets. Their diet consists primarily of spiders and other insects, which wasps scout for and bring back to their nests to supply their newborns with food. Calls for wasp removal tend to spike in the summer because these pests are attracted to sugary foods and tend to become a nuisance. A sting will surely hurt, but in most cases, it's harmless. The exception to this would be in the rare case that someone has anaphylaxis when stung; in that case, a very serious allergic reaction and even death is possible.

RoachesA relative of termites, cockroaches and roaches have been around since just after the dinosaurs went extinct. Unlike most other insects, cockroaches are able to survive extreme hot and cold temperatures, which means that without professional cockroach control, they are not going anywhere any time soon. A cockroach infestation can be difficult to prevent without help because these pests work as a team to build their home, scavenge for food, and survive. They function primarily under the cover of darkness, unless food is running low.

BatsThese flying mammals navigate entirely by echolocation, a biological sonar where it makes screeching noises and listens for the return of the sound wave as it bounces off objects around it; very few creatures have this ability. Bats are particularly bad to have in your home because they're natural carriers of many pathogens, like rabies, allowing them to spread disease quickly. Bat droppings (known as guano) release toxic fumes, which spread an infectious disease known as histoplasmosis. If you have a bat in your home, call us to remove it as soon as possible!
