Detailed Service Section
Comprehensive Ant & Rodent Control Services
Our detailed service is designed to eradicate existing ant and rodent problems and protect your home from future infestations. We employ a multi-faceted approach that addresses the root cause of the problem, ensuring long-term effectiveness.
Inspection and Assessment
The first step in our rodent control process is a comprehensive inspection of your property. Our trained technicians will identify signs of rodent activity, locate entry points, and assess the extent of the infestation. This thorough assessment allows us to develop a targeted treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We inspect everything, from the attic to the basement, and even your yard. Knowing where pests are coming from lets us stop them at the source. We will leave no stone unturned.
Baiting and Trapping
We use a combination of baiting and trapping techniques to effectively eliminate rodents from your property. Our bait stations are strategically placed in areas of high rodent activity, providing a safe and effective way to control the population. We also use various types of traps, including snap traps and live traps, depending on the situation and your preferences. We place bait stations in the attic, basement, garages, and other areas that commonly have issue. Rodents tend to take the easy path of least resistance so we plan accordingly to their usual behavioral patterns.
Exclusion and Prevention
Preventing future infestations is just as important as eliminating existing ones. We will identify and seal potential entry points, such as cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, and openings in the roof. We also offer advice on preventative measures you can take, such as removing food sources and maintaining a clean environment. Ensuring to never leave any openings is paramount to keeping rodents out. A mouse only needs about the size of a dime to squeeze through an opening.
Sanitization and Cleanup
Rodents can leave behind droppings, urine, and other contaminants that can pose health risks. We offer sanitization and cleanup services to remove these contaminants and ensure a clean and healthy environment. This includes disinfecting affected areas and removing any nesting materials. Having a safe home for your family is crucial and that begins with sanitization and clean up post riddance of rodents. It is important to get rid of any potential diseases or pathogens that may linger behind.
Follow-Up and Monitoring
We provide ongoing monitoring and follow-up services to ensure that the infestation is completely eliminated and to prevent future problems. Our technicians will return to your property to check bait stations, traps, and entry points, and to make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. If we need to return multiple times, we will make sure to come at the soonest conveinience to solve your issues. Any concerns you have will addressed immiediately.
Advanced Ant Control Strategies
Ant infestations can be challenging to eliminate due to their complex colonies and ability to adapt. Our ant control services are designed to target the entire colony, ensuring long-term control.
Identification and Treatment
Different species of ants require different treatment methods. Our technicians are trained to identify the specific type of ant infesting your property and to apply the most effective treatment. This may include baits, sprays, or dusts, depending on the species and the location of the nest. Correctly identifying what type of species you're dealing with is crucial for eradicating pests. Many people attempt to DIY but often fail in the process due to incorrect identification of pests.
Exterior Perimeter Treatment
We create a protective barrier around your property to prevent ants from entering. This involves applying a liquid treatment to the foundation, around windows and doors, and along other potential entry points. Keeping a barrier is a strong deterrant to prevent them from even being able to access the home. It is the only long term solution to ensure the exterior of the home does not allow pests in.
Interior Treatment
If ants have already entered your home, we will treat affected areas with targeted applications. This may include applying baits to attract ants and carry the insecticide back to the colony. We use products that are safe for your family and pets. Safety is our number one goal followed immediately by effectiveness. We want people to be confident in our work and trust us to come in and protect your household from pests.
Nest Location and Elimination
Whenever possible, we attempt to locate and directly treat the ant nest. This may involve drilling small holes and injecting insecticide into the nest or using specialized equipment to reach nests in hard-to-reach areas. Sometimes this requires using a camera to see behind walls or in areas not visible to the naked eye. Again, our main goal is to locate the source and destroy it to prevent future issues.
Preventative Measures
We offer advice on preventative measures you can take to reduce the risk of future ant infestations. This includes sealing cracks and crevices, removing food sources, and maintaining a clean environment. Many people fail to realize that food is the ultimate resource for pests. Without a food source they cannot breed and multiply at the same rate, which is what causes an infestation. We will teach you how to clean and maintain in a fashion that keeps pests at bay.
Common Problems and Solutions
Scratching Noises in the Walls or Ceiling
Scratching noises are a common sign of rodent activity. This could indicate mice or rats scurrying around inside your walls or attic. Ignoring these noises can lead to significant property damage as rodents gnaw on electrical wires, insulation, and other materials. Our rodent control services include a thorough inspection to identify the source of the noise and implement targeted treatments to eliminate the infestation. The scratching is not just annoying, the underlying problems it may represent can be truly dangerous. These issues need to be looked at as soon as possible.

Droppings in Kitchen Cabinets or Pantries
Finding rodent droppings in your kitchen is a clear sign of a serious infestation. Rodent droppings can contaminate food and surfaces, spreading harmful bacteria and diseases. It’s crucial to promptly address the issue to prevent health risks. Our sanitization and cleanup services ensure that affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, creating a safe and healthy environment. Nobody ever wants to find rodents present around their food. It's important to take quick action to ensure it does not continue.
Gnaw Marks on Food Packaging or Furniture
Gnaw marks are another telltale sign of rodent activity. Rodents have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth from growing too long. This can result in damage to food packaging, furniture, and even structural components of your home. Our exclusion and prevention services aim to seal entry points and protect your property from further damage. We use methods that prevent them from even being able to interact with your possessions.
Ant Trails in the Kitchen or Bathroom
Ant trails are a common nuisance in many homes. These trails are formed as ants follow pheromone trails left by their colony members in search of food and water. While ants may seem harmless, they can quickly contaminate food and become a persistent problem. Our ant control services target the entire colony, eliminating the source of the infestation and preventing future trails.
Unexplained Food Spoilage
If you notice that food is spoiling more quickly than usual, it could be due to rodent or ant activity. Pests can contaminate food with bacteria and pathogens, accelerating the spoilage process. It’s essential to inspect your pantry and food storage areas for signs of infestation and take immediate action to eliminate the pests. Our treatments are specifically tailored to keep pests away from areas with food. We will make sure that nothing is even affected.
Nests in the Garden or Yard
Finding nests in your garden or yard can indicate a growing pest problem. Rodents and ants often establish nests near homes to gain access to food and shelter. Removing these nests is crucial to prevent the pests from entering your home. We offer exterior treatment services to eliminate nests and create a barrier of protection around your property. Many people underestimate that the exteriror of the house is truly the only thing that matters. Stop pests before they even have the chance to get inside.
Musty Odor in Certain Areas
A musty odor in your home can be a sign of rodent infestation. Rodent urine and droppings can emit a strong, unpleasant odor that permeates throughout the affected area. This odor is not only unpleasant but can also pose health risks. Our sanitization and cleanup services remove the odor and eliminate the source of contamination. No one wants a smelly house -- we've got you covered.
Increased Pet Activity
If your pets are suddenly more interested in certain areas of your home or are exhibiting unusual behavior, it could be a sign of pest activity. Pets often detect the presence of rodents or ants before humans do. Pay attention to your pet's behavior and investigate any suspicious areas. Pets can often pinpoint locations with excellent accuracy because of their strong sense of smell. If they acting strangely, you need to be concerned.
Visible Signs of Damage to Property
Visible signs of damage, such as holes in walls, chewed wires, or damaged furniture, are clear indicators of a pest problem. These damages can be costly to repair and can also pose safety hazards. Our pest control services not only eliminate the pests but also help prevent further damage to your property by sealing entry points and providing preventative measures. We can walk you through all the various signs to look for and inspect your area.
