  • Doing Your Own Pest Control

    So, your thinking about doing your own pest control and/or lawn and landscape care, but you’re not sure if it can be done effectively or where to start. Well we are here to tell you that YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF and get professional quality results. We will show you how and provide you with the very same products that the professional exterminating companies are using! Now don’t get me wrong. We LOVE professional exterminators!


    We ARE professional exterminators and we have a State Certified Pest Control Operator on staff. The thing is, not everyone can afford to have a company come in to perform these services, and others don’t like having strangers in their home OR just want the satisfaction of doing it themselves. We are going to take all the “hard stuff” (biology, chemistry, etc.) out of it and make a way for you to do your own pest control and lawn/landscape Safely and effectively. We stay on top of our game in keeping up with all the current research and techniques. New bugs are constantly being introduced into our country, we loose chemicals due to misuse or dangers previously unknown and insects build up resistance and immunises to the products, so they become ineffective. We stay informed on all the details so you don’t have to.


    There are a LOT of people out there that are selling pest control chemicals–many are large companies that pretty much “own the market” but that doesn’t make them qualified. We have been doing this in the same location for 29 years and working in the industry for 35 years. Our only regret is that we have waited so long to “come of age” and get ourselves out there for people outside our geographic area. We’ve been technology “stupid” and afraid to embark on uncharted territories, but NOT ANYMORE! This “old dog” has learned new tricks and we are ready to embark on this adventure with and FOR YOU!
