1. Inspection and Assessment

Our process begins with a detailed inspection of your property to identify the extent of the stinging insect infestation. We assess factors such as:

• Current Insect Activity: Identifying active stinging insect populations and nesting sites.
• Potential Breeding Grounds: Locating areas where these insects are likely to thrive, such as eaves, attics, garages, and outdoor structures.
• Home and Yard Conditions: Evaluating the overall environment to determine the best treatment approach.

2. Customized Treatment Plans

Based on our assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan that targets stinging insects effectively while ensuring the safety of your family and pets.

• Targeted Insecticides: We use EPA-approved insecticides that specifically target stinging insects without harming beneficial insects or the environment.
• Nest Removal: Safe and thorough removal of nests to prevent re-infestation and reduce the risk of aggressive stinging insects returning.
• Barrier Treatments: Applying treatments around the perimeter of your home and in high-risk areas to prevent insects from entering.
• Exclusion Techniques: Sealing entry points and modifying landscaping to make your property less attractive to stinging insects.

3. Preventative Measures

Preventing future infestations is a key component of our stinging insect control services. We implement strategies that create an inhospitable environment for these pests, ensuring long-term protection for your property.

• Lawn and Garden Maintenance: Promoting a tidy yard by removing debris, trimming vegetation, and reducing hiding spots for stinging insects.
• Seal Entry Points: Identifying and sealing cracks, gaps, and openings in your home’s exterior to prevent insects from gaining access.
• Lighting Adjustments: Reducing outdoor lighting or using yellow bulbs that are less attractive to insects, thereby decreasing their food sources.
