How they work: four steps, no mystery

1

Identify first

Carpenter ants and house ants need different treatments. They find out which before they treat.

2

Treat with the least

Targeted application using the least-impact product that will do the job. Botanical options on request.

3

Seal them out

Trapping brings rodent numbers down. Exclusion is what stops them coming back.

4

Follow up

Bed bug jobs include mandatory follow-up visits, so the problem is actually gone.
