"Sill plate carpenter ant colony stopped."
We discovered sawdust piles near the foundation. The provider identified carpenter ant damage in the sill plate and treated the colony. They explained how New England moisture issues make these ants particularly active.
"Annual attic mouse cycle broken."
Every fall, mice would settle into our attic. The provider sealed the roofline gaps and treated the space. They explained that proactive sealing before autumn is the key to breaking the yearly cycle.
"Upstairs cluster fly migration stopped."
We had hundreds of cluster flies appearing in our upstairs rooms every fall. The provider treated the exterior before the migration season and sealed gaps around the windows. The improvement was dramatic.
"Stone foundation spiders finally manageable."
Our stone foundation basement was perfect spider habitat. The provider treated the perimeter and interior and explained how sealing cracks in the old stonework helps. The basement is much more comfortable now.
"Porch carpenter ants gone with gutter fix."
The front porch had soft spots from carpenter ant galleries. The provider treated the colony and traced the moisture to a leaking gutter. Fixing both the gutter and treating the wood resolved it.
"Lake house sealed off for the off-season."
Every May we opened the lake house and the first thing we smelled was mice. Droppings on the counters, the works. The tech sealed the foundation, swapped the door sweeps, and put monitoring stations in the cabin and the boathouse. Last May we walked in to a clean kitchen for the first time in years. My wife actually teared up.
"Basement framing termites monitored and treated."
Soft spots in the basement wall framing turned out to be termite damage. The provider treated the perimeter and installed monitoring stations. They explained that even New Hampshire can have termite issues.
"Dorm bed bugs cleared in a single visit."
My son came home for winter break and three days in he showed me bites along his ankles. We checked his duffel bag and they were there. I almost cried. The heat crew treated his bedroom and the bags in one visit. They were kind, not judgmental about it. They taught us how to inspect his dorm setup when he goes back.
"Attic vent cleared and screened against wasps."
Wasps streaming in and out of the gable vent all afternoon, you could see them from the driveway. The tech suited up, removed a softball-sized nest from inside the attic, and installed fine mesh screening across both gable vents. He suggested I check them every spring before things warm up. Two seasons later, no wasps.
"Fieldstone basement spiders fully cleared."
The damp fieldstone basement was full of spiders and webs. The provider treated the space and sealed the worst cracks. A dehumidifier reduced the conditions that attract spiders and their prey.
"Cabin cluster fly cycle finally broken."
Cluster flies filled the cabin every autumn and emerged on warm winter days. The provider treated the exterior in late summer and sealed soffit openings. The timing was critical for prevention.
"Apartment kept clear with shared plumbing sealed."
Roaches migrated from a neighboring unit through shared plumbing. The provider treated our unit and sealed pipe penetrations. They recommended building-wide treatment for lasting results.
"Wooded-yard tick habitat brought down."
Lyme disease is common in New Hampshire and ticks were a constant concern. The provider treated the yard perimeter and brush line. Keeping the lawn trimmed short near the woods helped reduce tick habitat.
"Coastal foundation sealed against ants."
The sandy coastal soil around the foundation was full of ant colonies. The provider treated the perimeter and sealed foundation cracks. Sandy soil makes ant control especially important near the coast.
"Exterior sealed and stink bugs cut dramatically."
Stink bugs covered the south wall and entered through window gaps each autumn. The provider sealed the exterior and treated the siding. The improvement was dramatic the following season.
