Services
Rodent Exclusion
Our specialized rodent exclusion service employs dedicated technicians who identify and seal entry points using durable materials. The process includes comprehensive inspections, professional exclusion repairs with one-year warranty, targeted trapping, and ongoing protection programs. This multi-step approach prevents future infestations while addressing current issues through environmentally responsible methods that prioritize client safety and property integrity.
Integrated Pest Management
We implement customized integrated pest management solutions combining exclusion techniques, habitat modification, and targeted treatments. Our approach focuses on solving root causes rather than temporary fixes, using low-impact pesticides only when necessary. Services include quarterly maintenance programs, problem-specific interventions, and preventive measures tailored to each property's unique requirements.
Wildlife Removal
Our certified technicians handle wildlife removal for bats, raccoons, skunks, and other pests using humane methods. Services include identifying entry points, implementing exclusion strategies, and providing preventive solutions. We specialize in safe bat exclusion, bird deterrent systems, and managing burrowing pests while maintaining environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance.
Commercial Pest Control
We offer tailored pest management programs for businesses across multiple sectors including restaurants, healthcare facilities, and industrial buildings. Services feature customized inspection schedules, documentation for regulatory compliance, and integrated solutions that minimize operational disruption. Our commercial clients benefit from experienced technicians and flexible service agreements without contractual obligations.
Ant Management
Specialized programs address common Oregon pests including carpenter ants and odorous house ants. Our approach combines exclusion techniques, habitat modification, and targeted treatments while avoiding counterproductive DIY methods. Technicians identify colony sources and implement preventive measures to ensure long-term control without unnecessary chemical application.
