Philadelphia's IPM-first pest management team

Founded in 1995. Led by Martin "Marty" Overline, Philadelphia's only ACE Certified exterminator.

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.

ACE certified expertise

ACE certification is a rigorous professional credential in pest management. It signals deep knowledge of pests, behavior, regulations, and treatment strategy. Marty brings decades of field experience and continues to educate and mentor others in the industry.

There are fewer than 5,000 ACE-certified professionals in the country. Marty is the only one operating in Philadelphia.

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.
