"Indoor scorpion sightings finally stopped."
Finding a scorpion in the bathroom was alarming. The provider treated the perimeter and interior and explained how desert landscaping near the foundation attracts them. After treatment, we stopped seeing them inside.
"Indoor moisture roaches handled in the desert."
We assumed the desert heat would keep roaches away, but they were finding moisture in our kitchen and bathrooms. The provider treated those areas and explained how indoor water sources create pest-friendly environments anywhere.
"Cold-weather mouse entries sealed off."
Reno winters get cold enough to push mice indoors. The provider identified gaps around the garage door and dryer vent and sealed them. The trapping program they set up handled the remaining mice quickly.
"Garage black widows cleared and prevented."
We found black widow webs in multiple corners of the garage. The provider treated the garage thoroughly and explained how to keep it less attractive to spiders. Regular inspections and treatment have kept it clear.
"Foundation cracks sealed and scorpions gone."
Bark scorpions appeared in the garage, bathrooms, and even the baby's room. The provider did a thorough treatment and sealed all foundation cracks. The scorpion activity dropped to zero within weeks.
"Foundation sealed before winter mice arrived."
First cold snap of the year, we started hearing scurrying in the pantry wall at night. By the third morning we had droppings on the counter. The inspector did a walk-around and pointed out the garage door corner where they were coming in. Sealed it up, set traps inside, and we have been quiet since Thanksgiving.
"Window wells treated and black widows cleared."
Multiple black widows nested in the basement window wells. The provider treated the wells and sealed gaps around the windows. Well covers were recommended to prevent future infestations.
"Fence line treated and posts protected."
Leaned on the back fence to look at the neighbor's yard and the whole top rail just rocked. Two posts were crumbly all the way down to grade. The tech treated the soil along the fence line and explained how subterranean termites travel from the soil up. We replaced the worst posts with steel sleeves at the ground. Two summers in and the fence is solid.
"Desert roach entries sealed at the perimeter."
Desert roaches appeared inside after monsoon storms. The provider treated the exterior perimeter and sealed garage door gaps. They explained how desert storms drive pests to seek indoor shelter.
"Food-source ant trails fully sealed off."
Ants appeared on every counter and shelf with food. The provider traced the trails to two entry points and sealed them. Perimeter treatment ensured they couldn't find alternative routes.
"Secondhand couch bed bugs gone in one visit."
A secondhand couch brought bed bugs into the living room. The provider treated the area with heat and inspected the bedrooms. One session resolved it. They warned about inspecting used furniture before purchase.
"Irrigation valve box cleared of wasps."
Yellow jackets built a nest inside the irrigation valve box and were stinging when we adjusted sprinklers. The provider removed the colony and treated the box. Checking valve boxes before irrigation season prevents surprises.
"Equipment shed cleared and sealed against pack rats."
Pack rats built large nests in the shed and chewed through wiring. The provider removed the nests, set traps, and sealed openings. Keeping the shed clean and sealed has prevented return.
"Bathroom leak fixed and earwigs cleared."
Three or four earwigs every morning on the bath mat. My wife was beyond done with it. The tech checked under the vanity and found a slow drip from the supply line that I had not noticed. Fixed the leak, treated the bathroom and the exterior wall outside, and they were gone within a week. Honestly the leak fix probably did more than anything.
"Log cabin treated and sealed against ants."
Our log cabin had carpenter ant damage in several wall logs. The provider treated the affected logs and surrounding soil. They recommended keeping logs sealed and stained to prevent moisture penetration.
"Desert termites fully eliminated with fumigation."
Drywood termites were active in the window headers and roof trusses. The desert climate here is perfect for them. The provider recommended whole-structure fumigation and handled the tenting, gas release, and aeration over three days. Clearance testing confirmed the treatment was successful, and the six-month follow-up found no new activity anywhere in the structure.
