Call about Quarterly Pest Control Plans →Ants don't nest where you spray them, they nest somewhere else entirely and just walk in through a hairline crack in the slab. We trace the trail back, find where they're coming up, and bait there so the colony carries it home.
This is the only job here where spraying the ants you see is the wrong move — the work is tracing, not treating.
Roaches hide in the seam behind the fridge, under the dishwasher, inside the cabinet hinge. We place gel bait in those cracks rather than fogging the room, and we come back because the egg cases hatch on their own schedule.
Roaches lay egg cases that survive the first visit, so this is the one service built around a second trip from the start.
Most of what we're removing is webs, not spiders — egg sacs tucked under eaves, in the garage rafters, behind the meter box. We knock those down and treat the harborage so they don't rebuild in the same corner.
There's no bait here — it's physical web removal plus a residual treatment on the surfaces they like to sit on.
This one's done in a suit, usually at dusk when the colony's slower and all home. We remove the nest itself, not just the wasps flying around it, because a nest left in the eave fills right back up.
The only job on this page where we're physically removing a structure while wearing protection against the thing we're removing it from.
Fleas live in carpet fiber and pet bedding, not on bare floors or counters, so the whole job is indoors. We treat where the larvae actually sit, and the house needs vacuuming on a schedule afterward for the treatment to keep working.
This is the one treatment that depends on what the homeowner does after we leave, not just what we apply.
A single treatment fades. This is the perimeter barrier redone every few months, adjusted for the season — tighter against ants moving indoors in a dry summer, different again when the rain starts.
Everything else on this page is a problem you call about; this is the only one that's a schedule instead of a call.
