What we take care of

Not sure what you've got? Tap "Get on the route," pick what you're seeing, add a photo, and we'll tell you what we'd do.

Most calls

Rats & mice, removed and kept out

Hearing scratching in the attic at 2am? We trap what's inside, then find and seal the gaps they're using: vents, rooflines, pipe openings, garage doors.

  • Trapping and removal
  • Rodent exclusion (sealing entry points)
  • Exterior bait stations, serviced on a schedule
Valley specialty

Black & brown widows

Garages, block walls, patio furniture, pool equipment. We treat where they nest and knock down webs and egg sacs, with extra care where kids and pets play.

Inside & out

General pest

Ants, roaches, spiders, silverfish and earwigs. One-time treatments or regular service so they don't come back.

Keep it handled

Regular service plans

Monthly, every other month or quarterly visits on your neighborhood's day, so problems get caught early instead of turning into infestations.

Homes & businesses

Restaurants, offices & rentals

Regular service with a record of every visit for your files. Ask about multi-unit and commercial scheduling.

Also ask us about bees and wasps, mosquitoes, fleas and gophers. For termite fumigation and live bee removal we'll point you to people we trust.

Questions

Good to know

How soon can you come out?

We work each part of the Valley on a set day, so most people are on the route within the week. When you book, you'll see your exact day and arrival window right away. For urgent problems (stings, a rodent inside the living space), mark it as an emergency and we'll call you.

Is it safe for my kids and pets?

Tell us about kids and pets when you book. We'll explain what we're using, where we're applying it, and how long to keep everyone out of treated areas before we start.

Do I need to be home?

Not always. For outside treatments, a gate code and a heads-up about pets is usually enough. For inside work or rodent inspections, someone should be home.

How do I pay?

You'll get your bill by text after the visit. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Cash App from the link, or by cash or check at the visit.

Do you do termites?

We can take a look and tell you what we see. For tenting and fumigation, we'll refer you to a licensed termite company we trust.
