Pest Control
Our general pest control services address common household and commercial pests including ants, spiders, cockroaches, and flies. Using integrated pest management techniques, we focus on prevention through habitat modification while employing targeted treatments when necessary. Technicians conduct thorough inspections to identify entry points and breeding areas, implementing customized solutions that balance effectiveness with environmental responsibility for both residential and commercial properties.
Termite Control
Comprehensive termite control includes free inspections, localized treatments, and whole-house fumigation options. Our certified technicians identify infestation extent through moisture mapping and structural assessment, employing eco-friendly borate treatments alongside traditional methods. We provide escrow clearances and preventative maintenance programs to protect property investments while offering repair services for termite-damaged structures across residential and commercial sectors.
Rodent Control
Specialized rodent control addresses gophers, voles, mice, and rats through habitat modification, exclusion techniques, and targeted baiting programs. Our approach combines burrow fumigation with odor removal to eliminate attractants while preventing future infestations. Commercial clients receive customized solutions for agricultural settings and industrial properties, with emergency services available for severe infestations that threaten health and safety standards.
Bird Control
Bird control services manage pigeon, swallow, and pest bird populations using humane exclusion methods like stainless steel spikes and custom netting installations. Our certified specialists handle protected species compliance while addressing health hazards from droppings and nests. Commercial solutions for airports, schools, and industrial sites include long-term maintenance programs that prevent roosting without harming bird populations during protected nesting seasons.
Bee Removal
Professional bee and wasp removal services safely eliminate hives while prioritizing environmental responsibility. Our technicians perform live swarm captures when possible, using specialized protective equipment to remove colonies from structures without chemical treatments. Residential and commercial clients receive repair services for damage caused by nests, with consultation on prevention strategies to avoid future infestations in Southern California's diverse ecosystems.
