Services
Pest Control
We eliminate and prevent infestations of ants, spiders, roaches, fleas, and other pests. Our technicians use targeted treatments for both immediate eradication and long-term prevention. Commercial and residential clients benefit from customized plans addressing specific pest challenges in Central Virginia environments.
Termite Inspection
Our free termite inspections identify wood-destroying insects and structural vulnerabilities. Certified inspectors examine foundations, crawl spaces, and wooden structures to detect active infestations or damage. We provide detailed reports and treatment recommendations to protect properties from costly termite-related deterioration across our service areas.
Mosquito Reduction
We implement targeted mosquito abatement programs for residential and commercial properties. Our approach includes habitat modification, larvicide application, and barrier treatments to reduce populations. Free inspections help identify breeding sites and develop customized control strategies that address local mosquito species' behaviors in Central Virginia.
Bedbug Mitigation
Our specialized bedbug services address infestations in homes and institutional facilities. We combine heat treatments, chemical applications, and monitoring systems to eliminate all life stages. The process includes follow-up inspections to ensure complete eradication while minimizing disruption to residents and property operations.
Wildlife Management
Certified wildlife operators handle humane animal control for raccoons, squirrels, and other nuisance species. We conduct thorough assessments to identify entry points and implement exclusion measures. Our approach focuses on habitat modification and cultural controls to prevent re-infestation while maintaining compliance with local wildlife regulations.

Report
We recently discontinued our service, after two months of bugs infiltrating our home. I'm terrified of spiders, and everyday we were finding them in our home, along with a host of other bugs. At our last home we had no issues with the company, but ever since we moved (from the country to the city) we've had nothing but issues. They also cashed a check of ours and claimed we never sent it. Do not recommend!

Recently used them to help us with a ground hog situation that had taken over one of our sheds. They were helpful, prompt, and got rid of our pesky problem. 100% would use them again if the need arises and would recommend them to any and all friends or family. Very nice people too.

They worked with me when all was in chaos due to termite damage. They let me do a payment plan then I renew my contract yearly. I trust them and have had no more problem since they have treated and inspect each year. Highly recommend.
