Typical job

What homeowners notice: A household finds a small heap of winged insects on the porch floor the morning after a shower in May. Nobody is sure whether they are termites or flying ants, and the wings have appeared on two nights in a row.
What we do: The wings are kept in a dry envelope with the date and the weather written on it. The technician compares the insects with the Extension description, checks the foundation and the wood touching the soil, and takes moisture readings at the sill.
What to expect: The insects are confirmed as a swarm, the colony is traced to a damp sill at the back of the house, and the household is given a written plan that starts with the moisture change before any treatment.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A kitchen trail of small ants appears each morning along the window sill. The trail runs back toward a fence line that the household shares with a neighbor.
What we do: The technician follows the trail to the fence line, identifies the species from a specimen and places bait on the route the workers take. The raised bed along the fence is checked for the nest.
What to expect: The trail stops within the week. The report says where the nest is and that it lies on the neighbor's side, and the household is advised on keeping the route closed on its own property.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A retail owner finds droppings in the back stock room, behind a row of boxed goods, and a customer mentions the same thing in the car park. The shop receives a delivery most mornings.
What we do: A written survey lists the dock seal, the back door, the bin store and the stock room as points to check. Monitors are placed on a site plan, the dock seal is reported for repair, and visits are scheduled before opening.
What to expect: The monitor counts fall over the next two visits. The log records each visit under the Tennessee licence that covers the shop and shows the owner which repair was made and when.

2-3 hours, then monthly typical visit

Typical job

What homeowners notice: Gnawed feed bags and droppings are found in a detached garage at the back of a lot. The house itself shows no sign of the animal.
What we do: Traps are placed along the garage wall where the droppings run, feed is moved into sealed bins, and the garage door seal is inspected. Sealing is planned for the second visit, after the animals are removed.
What to expect: Captures stop after the second week, and the door seal and the gap at the floor are closed on the second visit. The household is given a short list of feed and clearing changes to keep the garage closed to animals.
