Why a maintenance program?

If you have a large healthy rodent population around your home, it's
very possible that rodents will chew new holes to gain entry. Rodents
leave a pheramone behind as they travel as well as urine and droppings
thereby marking their travel routes for other rodents to follow.

Without a pest management program in place, rodents will multiply around your property.

With a large, healthy rodent population around your property, rodents can chew,
carry and spread serious diseases, including salmonellosis (food poisoning).

Gnawing causes expensive structural damage and may also start fires if rodents gnaw on electrical wires.

Mice and rats have been found to chew and damage communication cables such as
data and telephone lines causing costly loss of business and computer downtime.

Rodent programs are discounted 10% for a year's prepaid commitment. In addition, prepaid fees are "locked in" for two years.

We seal openings to prevent new infestation. If you don't seal the exterior openings new rodents will
enter your structure. We work to eliminate any existing population in the interior using snap traps
and tamper resistant bait stations on the outside to keep the rodent population under control.

Outside bait stations are needed because mice and rats breed 6-8 times per year, have 6-8 pups
per litter, gestation period is only 26 days and the young pups are able to reproduce in 6-8 weeks.

We seal holes, light wells, rooflines and window ledges against all birds which are not on the protected list of birds.
Pigeons are the most common type of bird to be excluded since their droppings carry disease, and are generally a nuisance bird.
Bird droppings over time will eat through paint, and even metals.

We only use the best quality exclusion material such as stainless steel bird spikes, UV resistant net or electric track.
Installation of bird exclusion (or rodent exclusion) involves various ladder heights from 4' to 32'. In some cases,
boom type lifts or scissors may also be used (see photo).

We use only those insecticides and baits registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.). Each insectide and bait
has been given a registration number by the E.P.A. If you need specific information about a chemical that we use, material
safety data sheets are available upon request.

Sanitation is extremely important as a deterrent against general pest infestations. For example, cockroaches are attracted to
moisture, food debris and grease, etc. By simply changing your sanitation practices you can almost eliminate the infestation
without chemicals by removing moisture and food debris. Professional cockroach baits are preferred over using insecticides
since baits actually attract the roach. Baits are considered a "low impact" pesticide, are also a crack and crevice treatment
and are applied in small quantities.
