General Pest Control
Comprehensive General Pest Control for Nuisance PestsOur general pest control service is designed to address a wide range of common household pests and occasional invaders in the Indianapolis area that are not covered under more specialized treatment plans. This is a comprehensive, one-time treatment that begins with a thorough inspection and application tailored to your home’s unique situation.
Whether you're dealing with seasonal nuisance insects like earwigs, moisture-loving silverfish, irritating house spiders, or pesky pantry pests, we use safe, targeted solutions to eliminate the issue quickly and effectively, providing immediate relief and long-term peace of mind.
In Indianapolis and the surrounding areas, we see a massive spike in silverfish and house spiders as soon as the humidity increases in June. Unlike national chains that use a 'one-size-fits-all' spray, we personally designed our General Service to target the specific biology of Central Indiana pests.
Pests Covered Under Our General ServiceThis service focuses on the most common non-wood-destroying and non-structural pests that invade homes seasonally or sporadically. This includes:
- Nuisance Insects: House Spiders, Cellar Spiders, Earwigs, Silverfish, Centipedes, Millipedes.
- Occasional Invaders: Stink bugs, Box Elder Bugs, Pavement Ants, Clover Mites.
- Pantry Pests: Indian Meal Moths, Grain Beetles, Larder Beetles (excluding severe stored product infestations).
- Rodent Monitoring: Basic inspection and monitoring for house mice (does not cover large-scale rodent exclusion or severe rat issues).
We believe in providing the most effective treatment while minimizing the use of chemicals in your main living spaces. Our protocol follows these targeted steps:
- Thorough Inspection: We start with a full inspection of your property to identify pest harborage areas, common entry points (e.g., foundation cracks, utility gaps), and moisture sources.
- Exterior Barrier Treatment: A high-quality, long-lasting insecticidal liquid is applied to create a protective barrier around your home's perimeter, focusing on the foundation, window frames, door frames, and eaves. This prevents outdoor pests from entering.
- Interior Crack and Crevice Treatment: Interior treatment is focused only on non-exposed areas where pests hide. We use a combination of Insecticidal Dusts and Gels in hard-to-reach voids, behind appliances, and inside wall voids via electrical outlets.
- Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs): Where appropriate, we use IGRs to disrupt the pest life cycle, preventing nymphs from maturing and reproducing. This is key for long-term control.
We stand behind the quality and effectiveness of our work. Our General Pest Control service includes a robust guarantee for your peace of mind:
- Free Follow-Up: If the targeted pests persist or return within one week of the initial service, we will return for a free follow-up inspection and spot treatment.
- Extended Coverage: We guarantee the treated areas for up to 30 days. If the pests return within this period, we'll come back out at no additional charge to ensure the issue is completely resolved.
This general plan is perfect for nuisance invaders, but severe infestations require more intensive, specialized treatments. This service does NOT cover the following pests:
- Blood-Feeders: Bed Bugs, Fleas.
- Structural Pests: Carpenter Ants, Carpenter Bees, Wood Boring Beetles.
- Severe Infestations: Cockroaches (German, American, Oriental, Smoky Brown), and large-scale Rodent or Wildlife issues (Raccoons, Squirrels, Birds).
