How Pest Control Actually Works

Most homeowners think pest control is one thing — It’s not.

Different types of pest issues fall under different licensed categories, depending on how they’re treated and what’s being protected.

What’s Being Protected

It’s not about where the pest is — it’s about what’s being protected.

Mosquito, flea, and tick treatments happen in the yard, but they’re not considered lawn or plant care.

They’re considered vector control, because they directly affect people and pets.

If something is damaging your lawn, shrubs, or trees, that falls under landscape or ornamental pest control.

If something is affecting how you live, use your yard, or exposing people and pets to bites or disease, that falls under our category.

That’s why you might call us for mosquitoes, fleas, or ticks — and call a landscape professional for issues in the lawn or shrubs.

Different problems, different categories — even when they happen in the same space.

If it’s something we handle, we’ll take care of it.

If it’s not, we’ll point you to someone who does it every day.
