Don't Let Any Pest be at Home in Yours!

We know how important it is to live in a safe and beautiful home. We inspect your home, offer advice about any pest control problems, perform an initial treatment to rid your home of any existing pests, and design a maintenance program for your home. Unlike some big name companies, we will not ask you to sign a year-long contract. Just give us a call any time you need service; there is no need for a technician to pay a visit during times of the year when you don’t have a pest problem.

With Academy Pest Control’s "No Pest Left Behind" services, we provide a treatment with only state-approved pesticides — the most effective in the industry. Our treatment may (if needed) include Termidor, so highly effective it can only be applied two times a year. This effectiveness, however, does not come at the expense of safety; Termidor contains the same ingredient found in Frontline (Fipronil).

Many of our competitors do not provide services with Termidor due to its high cost, but at Academy service and results are our goal.

Education and Preventative Steps

We can show you numerous ways to keep pests from disrupting your home, including:

Keeping them homeless

• Seal cracks and crevices where pests can get into your home.
• Get rid of stacks of newspaper, papers, bags, and cardboard boxes that make good homes for pests.

Keeping them hungry

• Keep a tight lid on trash cans and empty them often.
• Store food in tightly sealed containers.
• Wipe up spills and crumbs right away.
• Clean your dirty dishes right after eating.
• Pests thrive on moisture. Keep them from getting to water by fixing leaks and not leaving dishwater in the sink overnight.

Boundary and Perimeter Treatments

We apply a long lasting residual insecticide to the exterior of your home. We can also apply a long lasting residual insecticide to your yard – the long lasting insecticides we use for boundary treatments are used in playgrounds.

Exterior Perimeter Treatments

A premium residual insecticide is applied concentrating on the entry points for insects into your home.

Interior Treatments

Interior areas are inspected and treated specifically for the pests present in your home. A combination of residual insecticides, baits and traps may be used based on your concerns and particular pests.

Roaches and Other Insects

After inspecting and analyzing your situation, we will advise you on household routines that will minimize infestation. In addition, our specialists offer treatments that may include the following:

• Crack and Crevice Pesticide Placement - Chemical materials are placed carefully only in areas where the insects live and breed such as dark, enclosed areas within walls and under cabinets. Our process assures that will be minimal exposure to children, food, or pets.
• Direct Contact - Chemicals are directly applied to the pests
• Insect Growth Regulators - These chemicals duplicate the insect's natural hormones to disrupt their natural growth and development.

Rodent Control

After a thorough inspection to determine which species we’re dealing with, we’ll create an effective program to keep your home rodent-free.

Ongoing Maintenance

Season after season, your home will be exposed to different types of pests — roaches, ants, spiders, birds, and rodents will all be trying to make a home in yours. To make sure the pests you’ve so carefully eliminated don’t return, you can contract for continuing regular pest control services.
