A practical, investigative approach
We do not guess and spray. We start with identification and inspection, then choose the lowest-impact steps that actually solve the problem. That is the core of IPM, and it is why our work holds up over time.
Every pest situation tells a story: where they are getting in, what is sustaining them, and what changed recently. We read that story before we act.

Detection dog Heidi
Our NESDCA-certified English Beagle, Heidi, can detect live bed bugs and viable eggs with over 95% accuracy. Canine detection is the fastest and most reliable method for confirming bed bug presence, especially in multi-unit buildings where visual inspection alone is not enough.
Heidi at work
Heidi trained with some of the best handlers in the country. She works calmly and efficiently in apartments, hotels, dorms, and healthcare facilities. Her detection results help us target treatment precisely, saving time and reducing unnecessary chemical use.
