Our process
The Davis Inspection Standard
Four steps on every job, whether it is a single wasp nest or a termite problem under a 1920s twin.
Identify the species
Carpenter ant or termite, house mouse or vole, paper wasp or yellow jacket. The answer changes the treatment, so we confirm it before anything is applied.
Find the conducive conditions
Moisture at the sill plate, mulch against siding, a gap where the gas line enters. We show you what is inviting the pest in.
Place treatment where the pest lives
Products go where the label directs and where the pest actually travels and nests, instead of a blanket spray around the house.
Follow up and explain re-entry
You get prep steps and re-entry instructions before we start, and a follow-up plan that fits the pest and the season.
