Spring

Termite swarm season peaks in spring — schedule an inspection before buying or selling a home.

Summer

Standing water from irrigation systems attracts mosquitoes; check sprinkler systems for pooling.

Fall

Rodents seek indoor shelter as nights cool — seal gaps around pipes and utility entries.

Winter

rodentscockroachessilverfish

Kamran Kouzehkananire: Trident Pest Control
★★★☆☆2y ago

Sean was great, detail oriented, very good at explaining the report that he was conducting from start to finish, great job. thank you Sean. The only draw back for me was when I was ordering the services on the phone with Britney. She never mentioned to me that there would be a CC fee added into the total which we had agreed on. I was told about it only when I noticed I was charged a 4% CC fee. It should be disclosed at the beginning, not after you had agreed on a price and your card has been cha

Sean and his co-worker Zach did a wonderful job conducting a home inspection on a new house my wife and I are purchasing. They were at the house before the appointment time. Sean focused on the interior of the house while Zach conducted the inspection on the outside. They were very thorough and communicated with us regularly throughout the entire process. At the end of the inspection, we were given a thorough verbal overview of all their findings. Within 24 hours, we had the full documented home

Gabrielle Kruegerre: Barrier Pest Solutions
★★★★★1mo ago

We began using Barrier when we first moved here in 2012 when some rats had broken into our attic. Your technician inexpensively created some barriers to keep the rats outside after we had considered other providers with much larger estimates. As time passed we needed to have some pests identified, and Barrier became our service provider again. Our daughter and another family member are also using their services. Brandon and/or Drew manage the pests well on our property. We appreciate their prof

I am very pleased with the amazing service I am getting from Barrier Pest Solutions. I am a new customer and since discovering Barrier Pest Solutions, I can sleep better at night, and I have less stress during the day and fewer items on my “things to do” list. Rashan has visited my home a couple of times now, and both times he was very knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, and professional. I hope to see Rashan again soon for a follow-up visit, which is to occur ten to fourteen days after December

First, let me tell you that they are the best. I had a mice problem and they came and laid traps inside and outside of my house and came every week to check the traps and got rid of the mice. They also put a barrier around my house so they wouldn’t come back. Very affordable!! I then needed them to come back because I had a gnat problem. He bombed my house and put down a deterrent so they wouldn’t come back. Saved the day again. Today, I thought there was a dead rodent in my garage and they came
