Termite Removal
Since termites are so disastrous, we take our job as pest management experts seriously. We are committed to making your home termite-free. Termites are wood-destroying insects capable of damaging a home's structural timbers, including posts, floor supports, ceiling supports subfloors, and wall studs. Termites also can damage non-structural components, including drywall paperboard, paneling, carpet, and furniture. We offer comprehensive termite inspections, protection, and treatment services to our customers. After a full inspection of the wood and structure of your home, we give you a fully detailed report, so you can decide on repairs and treatments that may be needed.
Termite Baiting System
We use this baiting system to exterminate termites from your property. Our baiting systems are designed to reduce or eliminate the termite's colony. The baiting system will be installed in the soil around your home and checked regularly for termite activity. As termites feed and travel back to the colony, they share the termite bait and recruit other termites back to feed. This process will ultimately eliminate the termite's colony and prevent the potential damages they may cause to your home.
This system works well while eliminating termite colonies in an environmentally and non-invasive manner, which using any chemicals.

Carpenter Ants and Bees
Carpenter ants and bees can do more damage to homes than termites. From February to July, and again in the fall, these pests may be attacking your home!
Carpenter ants create tunnels and nests inside of moist, hollow, or decaying wood. And although these ants generally live-in trees, they can infest your home — especially if your home is built with large amounts of wood. Carpenter ants aren’t very dangerous to humans on their own. They rarely bite, and if they do, the bites aren’t venomous. And carpenter ants don’t spread diseases like other pests. The real danger with carpenter ants comes in the structural damage they can cause to your home.
Carpenter bees are large hairy bees that make nests by tunneling holes into wood (including trees, eves, door frames and wood siding) which are typically dime sized, and perfectly circular. They do not eat the wood, they simply boreholes for their nests into wood.
