This is a picture of
extensive termite damage discovered
during a kitchen renovation.
One way door
installation to get rid of a squirrel. Once
the squirrel exits through the one way door
they are unable to get back in.
This picture is a perfect
example of the damage that rodents can do
to your attic. The protective foam around
the wires in this attic has been chewed and
the insulation has been contaminated with
feces.
This is a before and
after photo of a piece of wood in an attic
that was treated for mold.
We humanely trapped
this big guy who was causing havoc in a
Frederick MD development. After a few
days of failed attempts we finally caught
him using cantaloupe! Cantaloupe is a
favorite for groundhogs.
One way door installed
to remediate a squirrel issue in an attic.
One way doors are a great way to humanely
get rid of an unwanted houseguest.
With a proper inspection
of the attic, we identified the issue in this
home was coming from the neighbors
home. A proper inspection leads to a proper
treatment plan and execution.
This mulch was just laid
down 2 months before we inspected this
home. You can see the live termites and
shelter tubing inside.
A squirrel managed to
make its way in through the shingles of this
home. The shingles were already showing
significant wear, and the squirrel went
straight through the old growth lumber.
This screen was
replaced by another company. They
decided to use a window screen and as you
can see, the squirrel made quick work of it.
This is why we always recommend 1/4-1/2
inch galvanized hardware cloth to prevent
reentry.
This is how comfortable people can become with mice in their home. This family was told by several other companies that nothing could be done about their mouse problem. Within 10 minutes we identified 7 exterior entry points and got them sealed up.
Check out this snake we pulled out of a Fairfax home bathroom vent. This is why we recommend installing guards over top of vent.
Humane trapping of a groundhog who had made shop under a customer's pool house.
Before and after photos of a giant wasp nest built over the wires of a home.
This is a hole in the side of a customer's home that we discovered during an inspection. This hole is an easy entry point for mice and other pest.
This mouse was caught in some galvanized mesh. This little guy may look really cute but he could cause damage to your home, and spread disease so it's important to stay on top of any mouse issues.
This photo was taken during the cicada invasion of 2021. These are cicadas in a customers basement stairwell that we cleaned up.
During your quarterly inspections we take this duster and wipe away any webs or nests that we see around the roofline, windows and doors.
These are some photos
of the owner John installing guards
over the vent of a house to prevent
wildlife and birds from entering the
house.
We caulked along the top
of this outdoor electrical socket
where a space had formed that
allowed pests to easily enter into the
home.
During an inspection this
entry point was discovered along the
foundation of the house.
This is an example of an
entry point that can be found around
a home.
Just a cool beetle we
found.
These lizards can be
found all over Montgomery County
and are included in our general pest
control.

in his new suite while removing a wasp nest
at a customer's home.

This is a European Hornets nest inside of a hole in the tree.
During a termite treatment any adjacent concrete slabs are drilled. Once we complete injecting the treatment into the holes we fill them back in.
We accidentally caught this cute little guy when trying to trap a groundhog at a customer's house. We immediately released him from the trap.
We installed this chimney cap to prevent wildlife like raccoons, squirrels and bats from entering into the home.
During a crawl space inspection we found evidence of snakes all throughout the insulation as seen by this snake skin.
This is a 6 inch by 6 inch trench dug out for a termite treatment around the perimeter of a customers home.
