The calls we handle most

Typical job
Illustration: Typical call: termite swarmers in a Kirkwood bungalow

Typical call: termite swarmers in a Kirkwood bungalow

What homeowners notice
On a warm spring day after rain, a homeowner finds shed wings on a front-room windowsill and a few winged insects near a baseboard. The house is a wood-frame bungalow on brick piers over a vented crawl space.
What we do
The technician confirms what the insects are, then goes under the house with a light to check sills, joists and pier caps for mud tubes and damaged wood, and walks the porch and exterior for wood touching soil. The findings, the options and the price are explained before any treatment is agreed.
What to expect
The homeowner knows what was found and where, has the choices and their prices in hand, and can decide without pressure.

Typical job
Illustration: Typical call: carpenter ants in a damp porch post in West End

Typical call: carpenter ants in a damp porch post in West End

What homeowners notice
Large black ants appear on a porch in late winter on a warm spell, and fine sawdust-like frass collects at the base of a post. The post sits close to the ground under a shade tree and stays damp.
What we do
The technician traces the ants back to the damp wood, checks the post, rail and nearby sill for soft spots, and treats the nest area. Moisture sources, such as a downspout dumping beside the porch, are pointed out so they can be fixed.
What to expect
Ant activity at the porch typically drops as the nest is dealt with, and the homeowner knows which wood to repair and what to change so the damp does not return.

Typical job
Illustration: Typical call: squirrels at the soffit of a Cascade Heights ranch

Typical call: squirrels at the soffit of a Cascade Heights ranch

What homeowners notice
In early fall, the household hears scratching in the ceiling at dawn. An oak limb reaches the roof edge of a mid-century brick ranch, and a gap shows at the soffit where a vent screen has pulled away.
What we do
The technician inspects the roof line, soffits and vents, finds the entry point and the limb that serves as a bridge, and explains how to close the opening once the animals are out, and why trimming the limb matters. The price is explained before anything is done.
What to expect
The household understands where the animals got in and what has to be sealed and trimmed to keep them out.

Typical job
Illustration: Typical call: German roaches in a Clarkston apartment kitchen

Typical call: German roaches in a Clarkston apartment kitchen

What homeowners notice
A tenant sees small tan roaches in cabinets and behind the stove, especially at night, and neighbors in the building report the same. The problem keeps returning after store-bought sprays.
What we do
The technician inspects the kitchen and bath, identifies German roaches, and treats cracks, hinges and appliance voids. Because roaches travel through shared walls and pipes, the technician explains why neighboring units and the property manager need to be involved.
What to expect
The tenant knows what to prepare, how many follow-ups are likely and what the building has to do for the treatment to hold.

Typical job
Illustration: Typical call: palmetto bugs after a summer storm in East Atlanta

Typical call: palmetto bugs after a summer storm in East Atlanta

What homeowners notice
After a hot, heavy thunderstorm, a homeowner finds large reddish-brown roaches in a bathroom and near a floor drain. The house is an early-1900s bungalow over a damp crawl space.
What we do
The technician checks the drain, the plumbing penetrations, the crawl-space vents and the leaf litter beside the foundation, identifies American cockroaches and treats the entry points and harborage. Moisture and gaps that let them in are pointed out for repair.
What to expect
Sightings typically drop as the entry points are dealt with, and the homeowner leaves with a short list of things to fix: damp, gaps and debris against the house.
