"No more scorpions in the garage."
We kept finding bark scorpions near the garage door. The tech sealed every gap along the foundation and sprayed a barrier around the perimeter. Haven't seen one since.
"Finally comfortable in my own backyard."
Black widows were nesting under our deck and along the fence line. The pro treated the entire yard and showed us what to watch for going forward. We can actually use the patio again.
"Caught the carpenter ants before real damage."
We noticed sawdust near the window frames and called right away. The inspector identified carpenter ants in the wall cavity and treated the colony at the source. Grateful we caught it early.
"They sealed every entry point we missed."
Mice kept getting into the kitchen through gaps we didn't even know existed. The tech did a full inspection, sealed everything, and set traps for the ones already inside. Problem solved within a week.
"Garage corners cleared of black widows."
Moving a tote off the garage shelf and there was the unmistakable red hourglass on the underside. My heart skipped. The tech treated every corner, behind the storage shelves, and the gap where the slab meets the wall. We cleared a lot of stored stuff off the floor afterward. Regular quarterly treatment keeps them from re-establishing.
"Pre-winter exclusion stopped the fall mice."
First cold snap of October the mice arrived, just like every year. Found droppings in the silverware drawer this time and that was it. The tech walked the foundation with a flashlight and showed me gaps I had never noticed: garage door corners, behind the AC condenser, around the gas line entry. Sealed everything up. Made it through to spring quiet.
"Pre-sale termites cleared in time for closing."
Three weeks before closing, the buyer's inspector flagged mud tubes along the foundation on the east side. My heart sank. The pest crew got out the next day, did the treatment, and provided the clearance letter the title company needed. Monitoring stations are still in place for the new owners. Tight timeline but it worked out.
"Used bed frame bed bugs gone in one visit."
Bought a secondhand bed frame from a sale and three weeks later we had bites on our legs. Lifted the mattress and there they were along the box spring tape. I felt sick. The heat crew got the bedroom and the frame up to temperature in one visit. They walked me through how to inspect used furniture before bringing it home. Lesson learned.
"Porch light fixture cleared of wasp nest."
Flipped on the porch light at dusk and a stream of wasps came pouring out of the fixture. I shut that off fast and stayed inside the rest of the night. The tech came the next morning, removed the nest from inside the cover, and treated the housing. He suggested I check every porch and gable light each spring before they get used. Adding that to my March checklist.
"Window seals improved and ants gone."
Condensation-damaged window frames attracted carpenter ants. The provider treated them and recommended better window seals. Eliminating moisture solved the root cause.
"New home cleared of construction roaches."
Brand-new house and within two months we were seeing roaches at night on the kitchen counter. I called the builder and they shrugged. The tech told me construction materials and cardboard packaging can carry egg cases. He treated with gel bait and sealed the gaps behind the dishwasher and under the sink. Within ten days the catches in the monitoring traps were zero.
"Landscape rock perimeter treated against ants."
Ants nested under landscape rock along the foundation. The provider treated the perimeter and sealed entry points. Keeping rock away from the siding helped.
"Lawn recovered after vole removal."
Vole tunnels crisscrossed the lawn. The provider set up a removal plan and recommended gravel barriers around garden beds. The lawn recovered once the voles were gone.
"Basement door re-sealed and earwigs cleared."
Earwigs appeared near the basement door every evening. The provider found moisture issues at the door threshold and treated the area. Fixing the seal stopped attracting them.
"South wall sealed against box elder bugs."
Box elder bugs swarmed the south wall every fall. The provider treated the exterior and sealed gaps. The number getting inside dropped to nearly zero.
"Whole-structure fumigation was the definitive answer."
After finding drywood termite damage in the basement and main floor, we opted for whole-structure fumigation rather than piecemeal spot treatments. The crew tented the house, released the gas, and monitored conditions throughout the process. Clearance testing confirmed the treatment reached every area, including the finished basement walls. The four-month follow-up showed absolutely no remaining activity.
