When you call to get a price, the total depends on a few specific things. We look at the total square footage of your home, the type of pests you are dealing with, and how long the infestation has been going on. If you need a one-time treatment for a minor issue, that usually costs less than a recurring service plan designed to keep pests away year-round.

About this service
Carpenter ants don't eat wood, but they tunnel through it to build nests, which weakens the structure of your home. We locate the main colony and any satellite nests, then use specialized treatments to eliminate the queen and workers. You should call us if you see large black ants inside or notice piles of sawdust-like debris near wooden structures.
Summer heat drives pests to seek moisture and shade, often right inside your living space. From ants to stinging insects, the high activity levels can make your outdoor areas unusable and your indoors uncomfortable. Regular treatments are the most effective way to maintain control during these peak months. Call us to keep your home pest-free all summer long.
