Services
Termite Treatment
Our termite treatment services protect properties from subterranean and Formosan termites using Termidor soil barriers and foaming applications. We offer annual contracts with inspection services and bait monitoring systems. Our methods address both active infestations and preventative measures for wood-destroying insects.
Flea Control
Flea control combines outdoor broadcast spraying with Talstar and indoor treatments using Talstar/Precor mixtures. Our technicians target high-traffic pet areas in yards and homes while implementing residual protection strategies. Treatments address both current infestations and future prevention through environmental modifications.
Fire Ant Treatment
Fire ant control utilizes granular insecticides for long-lasting yard protection. Our technicians identify and treat mounds while implementing perimeter defenses against reinfestation. The treatment schedule considers property size and environmental factors to maximize effectiveness while minimizing chemical exposure.
