Pest Control

Step 1:

First, a highly trained technician will place ant and cockroach baits outside your home. These baits are placed in strategic locations outdoors, such as wood piles, flower beds, and mulch sites. Different pests thrive in different environments, and we do our best to cover all the potential bases. 

Step 2:

After the baits are in position, we apply a specially formulated granular repellent. This repellent is applied to the soil and plants around your home to drive pests away. Many pests that infest homes find their way in through plants and gardens, so it’s important to do pest control in the yard to avoid an infestation. 

Step 3:

Next, our technician will apply a liquid insect repellent around your home’s windows, door frames, eaves, and other areas. This repellent dries clear, forming an invisible barrier that keeps pests out. These are the areas where pests tend to find their way inside, so it’s vital to cover as many of these areas as possible. 

Step 4:

To eliminate mice before they enter your home, we install a baited rodent station on the exterior of your house. This prevents mice from entering your home and nesting, which is what most mice do when they find an indoor place to live. Mice can cause a host of health issues, so it’s best to keep them outside. 

Step 5:

Once the outside of your home has been treated, the technician will move indoors. Baited granules will be placed in your attic and in the cracks and crevices where insects can hide. Our trained technicians know exactly where insects like to hide, so we place these baited granules strategically with insect habits in mind. 

Step 6:

Insects love to hide in the spaces between walls. To stop them in their tracks, we inject a special granular bait agent in the spaces between walls. We access these areas by removing wall and light switch plates, then carefully place them back where they belong before leaving your home.

Step 7:

For further protection against roaches and ants, we place baits in strategic areas inside your home. Our technician will place baits under your oven, refrigerator, and other major appliances where pests can hide. The last thing you want is to have an infestation you don’t even know about and only discover it when it’s gotten out of control. 

Step 8:

Finally, we apply a residual bait in out-of-the-way parts of your home, like behind furniture. If any pests manage to sneak past the other barriers, they’ll get stopped by the gum-based attractant. The methods listed above control the majority of pests, and this measure keeps the remaining pests from sneaking by them. 

Step 9:

Our Pro-Protect stations are designed to monitor the exterior of your home for the presence of termites before they find your home and allow us to safely bait for ants and other insects inside of its secure compartments under the lid. We will place these tamper-resistant monitoring stations around your home and other detached structures.
