By simply latching on to our pets or clothing, ticks such as the Lone Star tick, American Dog tick, and Deer tick can enter your home and can spread such diseases as Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Encephalitis, Erlichiosis, and other illnesses.
Ticks aren't just found in the deep woods, they can latch on to your pets by way of wildlife in your area such as rabbits or mice.
Ways You Can Keep Them Away:

Blacklegged Deer Ticks or "deer ticks" are the main transmitters of Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Lyme Disease. Lyme Disease is a primary concern in the United States.

The American dog tick is the primary vector of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), which is caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsia. These tick bites can cause itching, fever, and in some cases tick paralysis.

It takes specially trained people to recognize the symptoms and prescribe the proper cure. Treating your home should be as important as treating the people that live in that home.
Pest control is based on science, not magic. Most re-infesting pests such as roaches, ants, mice etc. go through different stages of life once they infest a structure. One treatment will not disrupt the life cycle of the pest.
This was created to address the target pest on the first visit by treating the interior/exterior of the structure. The follow-up treatments (spaced out at 90-day intervals) are exterior only unless the interior needs further attention.
This method keeps the product outside while still addressing the interior. Keeping the product outside is our primary goal and is all part of the prescription. Interior treatments, when needed, are never an extra charge.
Every 90 days the exterior of the structure is treated to reduce the population and provide a safe and effective barrier. You do not even have to be home for this service, which frees up your schedule while we take care of your home.
