Services
Termite Control
Our termite control specialists eliminate infestations using advanced fumigation and soil barrier techniques. Drywood termites are eradicated through Vikane gas tenting, while subterranean colonies are destroyed with Termidor soil treatments. New construction receives preventative barriers meeting Florida Building Code requirements. All services include warranties up to 5 years, with technicians providing detailed post-treatment maintenance guidance.
Pest Control
Customizable pest management plans target common household pests through interior/exterior sprays and void dusting. Quarterly treatments include boric powder applications for German roach prevention. Commercial properties receive monthly service documentation. Our approach combines residual insecticides with insect growth regulators to disrupt pest life cycles, maintaining protection between scheduled visits.
Lawn Spray
Targeted insecticide applications protect turfgrass from chinch bugs, armyworms, and mole crickets. Available as standalone service or add-on to general pest control. Treatments use environmentally responsible products applied bi-monthly or quarterly based on pest pressure. Technicians identify and address moisture issues attracting pests to outdoor spaces.
Rodent Control
Comprehensive rodent management combines bait station monitoring with exclusion services sealing entry points. Initial inspections identify nesting areas and damage extent. Follow-up visits ensure complete eradication, with optional exclusion packages preventing future infestations. Services include debris removal and sanitization of contaminated areas.
Bed Bug Management
Specialized bed bug treatments use integrated methods including crack-and-crevice applications, residual sprays, and insect growth regulators. Two-visit protocol ensures complete elimination, with technicians providing detailed preparation instructions. Mattress encasements and pheromone traps supplement chemical treatments, with warranties covering reinfestation within 60 days.
