Services
Pest Control
Our residential and commercial pest control services target ants, cockroaches, spiders, and other common pests using integrated management solutions. We employ EPA-approved insecticides, baits, and preventive strategies to eliminate infestations while ensuring safety for families and pets. Regular inspections and customized treatment plans provide lasting protection against recurring issues.
Termite Treatment
We specialize in termite inspections and treatments using the Sentricon Colony Elimination System, an EPA-registered eco-friendly solution. Our technicians identify mud tubes, wood damage, and other signs to eradicate colonies and prevent structural harm. Services include Wood-Destroying Insect inspections for real estate transactions and ongoing monitoring for long-term protection.
Bed Bug Treatment
Our three-phase bed bug treatment combines insecticides, steam applications, and client education over six weeks. Technicians target all life stages, from eggs to adults, while providing guidance on laundering bedding and preventing reinfestation. The process includes follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination and a 90-day warranty for added peace of mind.
Rodent Control
This service features perimeter bait stations and exclusion techniques to eliminate rodents safely. Child-proof stations target rats and mice while protecting non-target animals. Prevention strategies include sealing entry points and moisture control. Quarterly visits and a satisfaction guarantee ensure sustained rodent-free environments for homes and businesses.
Mosquito Control
Our mosquito control targets breeding sites through property inspections and standing water elimination. EPA-approved liquid treatments are applied to vegetation, while seasonal programs include monthly treatments during peak activity. The approach reduces populations by 90% or more, allowing safe outdoor enjoyment with minimal chemical impact.

We've been using Crist Termite & Pest Solutions for 3.5 years. Everyone at Crist, including the owner, has always been super helpful and friendly, including joking around with the kids and petting our animals. They are always prompt and on time. They have even gone out of their way to make sure any emergency pest service was taken care of, including swarming carpenter ants and very large spiders. Also, since we've started using their yearly service, none of our animals have had fleas (no flea medicine or collars!) We will continue to use Crist's services each year.

We moved into a rental that had bug issues and landlord was not working with us at all. Called Crist and explained all that was going on and how freaked out I was over this and they got me in within a couple days. They are wonderful people and Dave examined top to bottom. Explained everything to me and was super respectful. I would recommend them to anyone who needs service!

Super prompt in scheduling me for service, affordable. Cody was very pleasant and easy to deal with at the time of service. Will definitely use their services again in the spring time and refer others to use them as well.

I was concerned my house might have termites so I called Crist Termite for an Termite inspection. My inspection was scheduled and performed by the owner himself. The gentlemen was knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. He answered my questions and left me reassured. I was prepared to pay for treatment but to my delight it was not needed! His normal inspection rate is reasonable($45), but in my case he didnt charge. When does that ever happen in todays $100 service call world? Call 'em, you wont be sorry.
