Pest Control Services

Mice and rats are among the most common structural pests in Pittsburgh, particularly in older homes where foundation gaps and pipe penetrations give rodents easy entry. Our rodent control service starts with a thorough inspection of the exterior and interior to locate runways, nesting sites, and entry points.

We use a combination of mechanical trapping and tamper-resistant bait stations placed along known travel paths. Exterior baiting around the foundation helps reduce pressure before rodents get inside. Every access point we identify is documented so it can be sealed as part of a long-term exclusion plan.

• Snap traps and monitored bait stations
• Attic, basement, and crawl space inspection
• Entry point identification for exclusion

From ants and cockroaches to spiders and stink bugs, Pittsburgh homeowners deal with a wide range of insect pests throughout the year. Each one behaves differently and requires a different treatment approach. We identify the species first, then apply targeted products to the areas where insects are actually nesting and foraging.

For ants, this means following trails to the colony and treating the source rather than just the visible workers. For cockroaches, we use gel baits and growth regulators in harborage areas. Stink bugs and boxelder bugs are treated at exterior entry points in late summer and fall before they move indoors to overwinter.

• Ant colony identification and treatment
• Cockroach gel bait and IGR application
• Seasonal stink bug and boxelder bug barrier

Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to eliminate and require a methodical, multi-step approach. We begin with a detailed inspection of bedrooms and surrounding areas, checking mattress seams, bed frames, baseboards, and furniture joints for live insects, eggs, and cast skins.

Treatment combines targeted insecticide application to harborage areas with heat treatment where appropriate. We also provide prep guidance to ensure surrounding areas are accessible. Follow-up inspections are standard for bed bug work, since a single missed cluster of eggs can restart an infestation.

• Detailed room-by-room inspection
• Targeted insecticide and heat treatment
• Follow-up inspections to confirm elimination

Termites cause serious structural damage and often go unnoticed until the damage is significant. Pittsburgh homes with wood-to-ground contact, moisture issues, or older foundations are particularly vulnerable. Our termite management service includes a full inspection of the structure, crawl space, and surrounding soil for signs of activity.

We apply soil treatments around the foundation to create a protective barrier and use baiting systems where appropriate for ongoing monitoring. If active termites are found, we outline the treatment plan clearly so you understand exactly what is being done and why.

• Foundation and crawl space termite inspection
• Soil treatment barrier application
• Baiting system installation and monitoring

Pest pressure in Pittsburgh changes with the seasons. Spring brings ants and wasps, summer means stinging insects and mosquitoes, fall drives stink bugs and rodents indoors, and winter can bring mice seeking warmth. Our seasonal prevention program treats your property on a schedule matched to these patterns.

Each visit includes an exterior inspection and targeted treatment at common entry points and harborage areas. The goal is to prevent infestations before they start, reducing the need for reactive treatments and keeping your property protected year-round.

• Seasonal exterior treatment schedule
• Entry point and harborage area focus
• Year-round monitoring and prevention
