Those ants are already inside.

Ants follow scent trails, so a few on a baseboard usually means a steady route between the colony and a food source. Wipe up what you see and the trail is still there.

We trace interior ant activity back to where they're getting in and where they're nesting. That's the fix.

Seen the same line of ants in the same spot twice? Don't just wipe it up and wait.

Pests don't stop at the property line.

They work along the foundation and the patio edge until they find a way in. An Exterior Perimeter Check treats the line where the building meets the ground, so there's a barrier between the yard and your front door.

Ants on the porch? Spider webs under the eaves? The perimeter is where we start.

Most people have never seen their crawlspace.

It sits under the floor you walk on every day, and it's where a lot of pest trouble can start. Gaps in the v***r barrier and openings at the foundation show up fast once someone goes down with a light.

A Crawlspace Inspection is us going in and telling you what's down there.

When did anyone last look under your house?

That rat is sitting next to live wiring.

Rodents gnaw because their teeth never stop growing, and wire insulation is one of the things they chew. Gnawed wiring is an electrical hazard, and the damage can sit unseen inside a wall until something fails.

A Rodent Activity Inspection tracks where they're moving and how they're getting in, so the fix starts at the entry point.

Hear scratching in a wall or ceiling? Don't wait on it.

We open every bait station on every visit.

This one had paper scraps and leaf litter inside. A closed box tells you nothing. An open one tells us whether something is feeding there, and that decides what happens next on the property.

Bait stations only work when someone checks them. Ask your pest company when yours were last opened.

Found this inside one of our bait stations. Ants. Worker ants and eggs, both.

That’s exactly what an activity check is for. We open every box, see what’s happening inside, and confirm the bait is doing its job. Every visit.

Proudly Obsessed with Pests.

Most pest problems on a home's exterior start at the roofline.
Wasps and yellow jackets build under eaves and overhangs. Spiders colonize the corners where the soffit meets the fascia. Overwintering insects (stink bugs, box elder bugs, cluster flies) pack into the gaps in that zone to wait out the cold. By the time you see them inside in October, they've been up there since September.
An exterior eave treatment covers the underside of the soffit, the fascia board, the overhang perimeter, and any penetrations in that zone. The Pacific Northwest has active wasp and spider pressure from spring through fall, and the high points of a structure are where that pressure lands first.

The grease trap gets cleaned. The fryer has a maintenance schedule. The floor drain gets mopped over and that's it.

Commercial kitchen floor drains are one of the most common pest harborage points in food service. Drain flies breed in the organic film that coats the inside of the drain pipe below the grate. Cockroaches use floor drains as harborage and transit routes between service periods. Rodents can access a building through drains with deteriorated covers.

A commercial kitchen pest check includes the drains. The grate inspection, the pipe check, documentation of activity, and a treatment plan if it's active.
The one in this photo was active.

The wall vent. The gap under the door frame. The space where the window seal has pulled away from the brick. Those are the entry points. Pests don't come through solid walls. They find the holes your building already has.

An exterior entry point check is an audit of every opening on the exterior: utility penetrations, door sweeps, foundation vents, gaps around window frames, weep holes in the brick. We document what's open and what needs to close.

The photo above is a textbook example. Three separate entry points in one frame, and that's just the front of the building.

Those ants didn't end up in that crack by accident.

Ants follow pheromone trails. Chemical paths laid by foragers between the colony and a food source. What looks like random activity is a coordinated route that dozens to hundreds of insects are running on a loop.

A crack as small as 1/16 inch gives most ant species enough clearance to enter a structure. The foragers that found this one are already communicating its location to the rest of the colony.

A Crack + Crevice Check applies product directly into the harborage, targeting the trail and the colony rather than surrounding surfaces.

Have you seen ants moving along a baseboard or door frame recently? That path leads somewhere.
