We specialize in leading Sentricon® Termite and Cryonite® Bed Bug controls
Exterior
- Foundation: Checks for cracks, gaps, or signs of termite or insect entry points.
- Roof and Gutters: Looks for nests, clogged gutters, or other signs of pest presence.
- Doors and Windows: Examines seals, weather stripping, and frames where pests can enter.
- Landscaping: Observe any overhanging trees, woodpiles, or dense vegetation close to the home, which can be a haven for pests.
Interior
- Basement and Crawl Spaces: Inspect for moisture, mold, wood damage, or signs of rodent activity.
- Walls and Floors: Look for cracks, stains, or pest trails and holes.
- Attic: Examine insulation and wood beams for signs of termites, rodents, or insects.
- Kitchen and Pantry: Check for food storage issues, signs of rodents, ants, cockroaches, or other pests.
- Bathrooms: Observe plumbing, under-sink areas, and ventilation for any evidence of pests or water leaks.
- Bedrooms and Living Areas: Look for signs of pests around furniture, bed frames, or window frames.
Interior
- Termites: Look for mud tubes, frass (termite droppings), damaged wood, or hollow sounds in wood.
- Rodents: Searches for droppings, gnaw marks, or nesting materials.
- Insects (Ants, Cockroaches, Bed Bugs): Inspects for trails, eggs, droppings, or dead insects.
- Mold and Moisture Issues: Although not a pest, moisture issues can attract pests, so these areas may be checked.
5 Important Facts You Need to Know About Cryonite:
- Cryonite is frozen liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) that’s sprayed in an infested area
- This “snow” is -110°F which rapidly freezes and kills bed bugs of all life stages
- It is chemical-free, non-toxic and will not leave behind a wet or sticky residue
- Because it doesn’t use chemicals, bed bugs never become immune to Cryonite®
- There’s no need to vacate the property, it’s safe for immediate reoccupation
Cryonite® is already a common treatment in both Europe and Australia where it’s been tested and proven effective against bed bugs, as well as German cockroaches. When sprayed, vapors penetrate deep into the fibers of bedding and furniture, as well as into cracks, crevices and other common bed bug hiding spots. This ensures a quick extermination, and dead bugs can then be removed with a detailed vacuuming.
Because Cryonite® uses recycled CO2 instead of adding more to the environment, it’s even considered a green pest control solution. This non-toxic option can also be safely used in homes, businesses, hotels, restaurants, nursing homes, schools, hospitals and much more.
