Services Starting At

$180⁰⁰plus tax

This is a one-time visit for common household pests such as Spiders, Silverfish, Centipedes, and Ants (excluding carpenter and pharaoh ants).

We will provide a 60-day warranty against the pest(s) targeted during the treatment. The covered pests will be specified in the invoice. See below for more specific information about treating these particular pests.

• Includes exterior treatment of home (March-November). Exterior treatments include the house, garage, and sheds.
• Includes de-webbing of spider webs on the exterior of the home.
• Includes a localized interior treatment to areas of activity. This may include ant baiting, spot spraying, and crack and crevice treatments for active pest infestations inside.
• If a full interior spray is requested, the home must be vacated for 3-4 hours. This will cost $70 extra.
• Add $70 extra for power dusting or granular baiting of attics. (This is sometimes necessary for Silverfish.)

The warranty does not cover pests found away from the home unless otherwise specified in the invoice notes.

Schedule

Preparation For General Pest Service

Please close your windows and pick up any personal belongings around the home’s exterior. This includes children’s toys, gardening tools, grill items, and strollers. Turn pet food dishes upside down or remove them. We often apply a band of pesticide spray about 1-3 feet from the foundation. Please keep this area free from leaves, debris, belongings, and weeds. We cannot spray flowering plants. This includes weeds that are flowering. The fewer obstructions along the foundation, the better. Secure pets. Please do not have dogs where they can physically contact our technicians. Keep out of any treatment area (inside or out) until any spray has dried, or at least 45 minutes.

Difference Between Silverfish and Centipedes:

Silverfish are silver insects with six legs and three cerci off the back of their bodies. House centipedes have 15 legs.

One-Time Visit/ Single Service Centipedes

$180⁰⁰plus tax

60-day warranty

Includes:
• An exterior treatment during the spray season.
• We also treat inside garages and the basement/ crawlspace.
• We install sticky glue traps to help collect them.
• Dust may be used for longer residuals in the basement or crevices outside.
• Spot treatments are recommended for areas of activity above the first floor.
• We can treat elsewhere inside (bathrooms, damp closets, around potted plants). All treatment areas must be vacated until the spray has dried.
• If the entire house is treated, the home must be vacated for 2 to 3 hours, which will incur an additional cost of $70.

Recommendations

Centipedes usually feed on flies, ants, and spiders inside, so they should also be targeted. The key to controlling them is to reduce moist areas and harborage sites. Remove leaves (especially under decks and porches). Get rid of grass clippings, logs, stones, and rocks. Move firewood away from structures. Increase ventilation to crawlspaces and run dehumidifiers in basements.

Silverfish

One-Time Visit/ Single Service Silverfish

$180⁰⁰plus tax

60-day warranty

Includes:
• A thorough inspection of preferred habitat areas and where food materials are present.
• Areas of infestation inside are often very localized. Many are introduced with cardboard boxes. Environmental modification can greatly enhance control (see recommendations).
• Localized treatment inside living spaces (bookshelves, infested areas of boxes/ paper).
• The technician will apply dust to wall voids, crawlspaces, bathroom and kitchen fixtures, and subflooring (as necessary).
• Attic dusting or baiting may be added for an extra $70.
• Four-lined Silverfish require an exterior perimeter treatment (foundation mulch beds and under the bottom lip of siding). Soffits/ overhangs are treated for regular silverfish.

Recommendations

Remove anything stored against or near the building’s exterior. Repair leaking pipes, seal cracks and crevices, and remove potential food sources. Power wash and water-seal wood shingle roofs. We will not treat homes with wood-shake roofs unless this is done as preparation.

Service Area

Our service area is inside the purple line. We service homes outside of the purple line. However, a “trip charge” will be incurred to account for longer drive times.

Out of Area “Trip Charge”

For locations outside the purple line- up to forty minutes from the office, a “trip charge” of $50 per visit applies for single services and non-warrantied follow-up visits. Add $100 for multi-visit service plans. We do not service homes over 40 minutes away. During the busy April-October season, we might be unable to service homes outside the purple line. We are likelier to take jobs to the West than jobs further away to the South or East.
