Pest Control

Our trucks are equipped with many different baits, insecticide formulations, inspection tools, resource manuals, and safety equipment..

There is no one standardized treatment for controlling every pest around every home. However, below is a brief synopsis of a complete service:

  • Inspect the home for current and potential harborage areas of pests
  • Service the baseboard areas with a compressed air sprayer
  • Apply a crack and crevice treatment or bait in kitchen and bathroom areas
  • Apply a 6-10 foot exterior band treatment around the perimeter of the home
  • Service the attic side of the soffit and fascia boards with an insecticidal dust
  • Service the crawl space
    • Apply an insecticidal dust along the hill strip
    • Apply a long lasting residual insecticide at the plumbing, electrical line, cable line, and
    • HVAC entry points
    • Pull insulation back and service under bathrooms, kitchen sink and vent wells
    • Look for drainage problems, inadequate ventilation, damage etc
  • Fill out the customer recommendations sheet

This type method of pest control stops a pest invasion at all possible entry points.

Rest assured, that at Horne's our technicians rely on their years of experience and their hours upon hours of classroom training to provide you with the individualized and specific plan that you and your home should be accustomed to.
