"Darnell has been treating my home since March of this year (2025). I can say with confidence that I am the only one on my street that doesn't have giant spiders in every corner of my garage, front porch or back patio. Especially we have a pool and that naturally attracts OrbWeaver Spiders. I trust Darnell in my home when I am not there."

FAQs

Have Questions About Our Pest Elimination Services?

Find quick answers to some of the most common pest elimination questions we receive.

Yes. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach utilizes advanced baiting systems that are virtually odorless, have low toxicity to non-targeted animals, and produce no airborne particles.

For the vast majority of our services (Ants, Spiders, Rodents, Wasps), you do not need to leave your home. You can simply hang out in a different room while we work. The only exceptions are specialized treatments like full-home Bed Bug Heat Remediation or certain heavy-infestation Roach clean-outs, where we will provide you with a clear schedule in advance.

We pride ourselves on fast local response times. Most standard service requests are fulfilled within 24–48 hours. For urgent issues like an active hornet’s nest near an entrance or a sudden bed bug discovery, we offer emergency same-day or next-day priority scheduling.

Your service schedule is tailored based on high-risk factors for pest infiltration, including spaces with high foot-traffic, food preparation areas, and frequent deliveries (shipping/receiving). We also consider the size and structural layout of your building.

No, that is not necessary. We maintain Pest Sighting Logs on-site. Please document sightings there.  Our technicians will review these logs and provide targeted attention during your scheduled maintenance visit.

Yes. We strictly adhere to safety regulations, requiring 24-hour notification prior to the application of any specialized liquid or aerosol materials.

If you are not completely satisfied with a regular treatment, we will return to re-treat the area at no additional cost. Should issues persist, we will continue to work until resolved, or refund your last monthly payment, provided that established maintenance and sanitation requirements are met.

Invoices are sent on the first of each month and are due upon receipt.
