Rodent Control Program
Our comprehensive rodent control addresses mice, rats, and other rodents through integrated pest management. We combine exclusion techniques, trapping systems, and habitat modification to eliminate infestations while preventing future occurrences. Services include thorough property inspections, entry point identification, and customized treatment plans tailored to residential and commercial environments. Our approach prioritizes non-toxic methods while maintaining effectiveness against persistent rodent populations.
Bed Bug Extermination
Specialized bed bug elimination services utilize heat treatments, targeted applications, and monitoring systems. Our certified technicians conduct detailed inspections to identify infestation extent, then implement multi-phase treatments that destroy all life stages. Follow-up visits ensure complete eradication while preventative measures protect against reinfestation in both residential and commercial properties.
Wasp and Hornet Control
Professional wasp control addresses yellowjackets, paper wasps, and hornets through safe nest removal and perimeter protection. Our technicians use protective equipment to eliminate colonies while implementing exclusion methods to prevent reestablishment. Services include nest location identification, chemical treatments, and structural sealing to deter future nesting in residential and commercial settings.
Commercial Pest Control
Customized pest management programs for commercial clients maintain regulatory compliance and protect business reputations. Our services cover food processing facilities, multi-unit dwellings, and industrial sites with regular inspections, documentation, and targeted treatments. We implement preventative measures that minimize operational disruptions while addressing specific pest challenges associated with commercial environments.
Wildlife Exclusion
Humane wildlife management addresses raccoons, squirrels, bats, and other nuisance animals. Our technicians identify entry points, implement exclusion techniques, and provide structural repairs to prevent re-entry. Services follow regulatory guidelines for animal handling while ensuring property protection against damage caused by wildlife infestations in residential and commercial properties.

We have used this company twice this past year to deal with pest control issues. They are extremely professional and efficient. If we have another pest control issue they will be my first call.

After battling wasps throughout much of the summer, I called Pest Detective. Amy listened carefully to my concerns and scheduled an appointment. Technician Gary Harte arrived promptly on the day and impressed my wife and I with his personable, co-operative manner.
Professional, diligent and undaunted, Gary took full measure of what proved an enormous hornet's nest and performed a difficult and dangerous job with skill and assurance. Many thanks!

Two employees came into my home to investigate mice and very quickly found the problem. They taped up a hole around a pipe and I have been mice free ever since. Both employees followed appropriate public health guidelines related to Covid-19 and were very pleasant and efficient.
