Our Services

Targeted solutions for every pest we find in Solon

Termite Control

Termites are a top threat in older Solon homes and newer construction near timber. We inspect wood damage, identify entry points, and apply barriers or baiting systems to eliminate colonies before they cost thousands in repairs. Carpenter ants get similar attention—we find their galleries and treat at the source.

• Wood damage assessment and structural inspection
• Underground and wall-cavity termite detection
• Long-term prevention plans for future protection

Rodent & Mice Control

Solon winters drive mice indoors where they nest in walls, attics, and crawl spaces. We trap, remove, and seal all entry points—gaps under doors, cracks in siding, utility line openings. Inspection includes checking for droppings, nesting material, and chewed wires that pose fire risk.

• Live trapping and safe removal
• Entry-point sealing and exclusion work
• Attic and crawl-space decontamination

General Insect Control

Ants, cockroaches, spiders, and silverfish thrive in Solon's humid climate. We target colonies, treat infested areas, and apply perimeter barriers. Interior treatment focuses on baseboards, cracks, and kitchen zones where food attracts pests. Outdoor work reduces populations before they enter homes.

• Interior and exterior ant trail elimination
• Cockroach and silverfish treatment protocols
• Spider and web removal with barrier spraying

Bed Bug & Flea Treatment

Bed bugs hitchhike into homes on luggage and furniture; fleas come in on pets. Both reproduce fast and hide in mattress seams, pet bedding, and furniture. We treat infested items, apply residual sprays, and advise on laundry and vacuuming to break breeding cycles. Follow-up checks ensure complete elimination.

• Bed bug heat and chemical treatments
• Flea-infested furniture and pet-area treatment
• Post-treatment monitoring and prevention

Why Local Expertise Matters

Solon's location—just miles from Lake Macbride and surrounded by wooded, recently developed areas—creates unique pest challenges. Termites thrive in the mixed-age housing stock (older homes near downtown and newer construction in Apple Valley and Bramblewood Estates). Winter and spring bring rodent pressure as animals seek shelter. High humidity near the water supports cockroaches and silverfish.

We know Solon. We've served families here for 30+ years, learning which neighborhoods face carpenter ant damage, where termites hide in century-old structures, and how to adapt treatments to homes on the east and west periphery of town. This knowledge saves time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have termites?

Look for hollow-sounding wood, visible mud tubes along walls, or sawdust-like droppings near wooden structures. Carpenter ants leave piles of fine wood dust. Either pest is cause for immediate inspection—damage compounds quickly.

What should I do if I see rodent droppings in my attic?

Don't touch them. Call immediately for inspection and removal. Rodent waste carries disease and indicates an active infestation. We'll trap, remove, and seal entry points to prevent return.

Are your treatments safe for pets and children?

Yes. We use targeted, low-toxicity methods. We'll advise you on precautions for specific treatments—usually a short window to stay out of treated areas. Your family and pets return home safely.

Do I need regular pest control or just when I see a problem?

Prevention is cheaper than emergency removal. Many Solon homeowners use spring and fall treatments to block entry before infestations start. We'll recommend a plan based on your home's risk factors.

What is included in a free inspection?

Interior and exterior walkthrough, examination for pest activity and entry points, moisture assessment, and a detailed report with honest recommendations. No obligation—just clear information.

Can you help with an active infestation right now?

Yes. Our 24/7 emergency line connects you to a technician who can discuss immediate steps and schedule urgent service. Active bed bugs, rodent nests, or visible termite damage all qualify for fast response.
