Do you hate finding earwigs, spiders, sugar ants, centipedes, boxelder bugs and other insects inside your home? Our EcoGuard Insect Control Program prevents crawling insects from entering your residence. We carefully apply an effective barrier, four times a year, to your house’s exterior. Since it is applied to the exterior, customers do not have to be present for us to complete the service. A convenient and effective way to keep insects from coming into your home.

Bees and other pollinators love our butterfly bushes, roses, huge variety of coreopsis flowers, zinnias, poppies, dianthus, hollyhocks, cosmos, and too many to mention.
