How much damage do termites really cause?
Termites cause $5 billion in damages each year, wreaking more havoc than fires and tornadoes combined. It’s no wonder, when you consider the facts. Termites are survivors, having inhabited this planet for almost 150 million years. And they reproduce in great numbers. With a life span of up to 15 years, termite queens produce nearly 2,000 eggs each day. That’s a total of 10 million eggs over a lifetime. In total, there are over a billion termites in each colony.

What exactly is IPM?
IPM stands for integrated pest management, a holistic, eco-friendly, and economical approach to pest control. Learn more about this philosophy.
What is IPM vacuuming?
An alternative to the standard liquid treatment used on interior spaces, integrated pest management (IPM) vacuuming uses a special pest-control vacuum to remove pests — without releasing allergens into the air. This service works well in homes and businesses where there are small children, and for people with severe allergies.
Do you offer any new or environmentally friendly techniques?
We are constantly educating ourselves about the newest, most proven pest control options, including eco-friendly choices. These techniques include scanning with infrared cameras (for termites and bed bugs), baiting, and termite systems such as Sentricon and Termidor.
Where can I find your prices?
All services and packages can be customized to fit your budget and space. As a result, prices vary slightly from client to client. Your certified technician will discuss specific service recommendations and pricing with you following your free pest audit.
