Porch Life and the Pests That Come With It
Covered porches give spiders exactly what they want: shade, still air, and a light that draws insects every night. Webs collect in ceiling corners, behind shutters, and under railings faster than most people can sweep them away.
Paper wasps like the same sheltered eaves. A small nest in spring can grow into a real problem by midsummer, especially near a front door that gets a lot of traffic.
Porch lights left on through the evening make the problem worse, since they pull in moths and gnats that spiders feed on. Switching to warm toned bulbs is an easy fix.

Parks Next Door
Homes near community parks and green spaces see steady ant activity, because irrigated turf keeps colonies healthy all year. When temperatures spike, those ants look for water and often find it inside.
We treat the foundation, walkways, and entry points, then follow trails back to colonies in the landscape. That approach keeps ants from simply showing up again a week later.
Service That Respects Your Time
Our technicians are paid by the day instead of per visit, which takes away any reason to hurry. They will treat each side of the home, look at the porch carefully, and let you know what they find.
Bi-monthly plans begin starting at $45 a month for homes under 2,500 square feet, and any pests that show up between visits are re-treated free.
Scorpions are also part of the plan, since they hide in the same block walls and porch steps found throughout the neighborhood.

How often should porch webs be cleared?
Spiders rebuild quickly, so a light sweep every week or two helps between visits. Our regular service removes webs and treats the areas spiders use, which slows them down considerably. Knocking down egg sacs when you see them also cuts down the next generation.
Is it safe to treat near the front door where kids play?
Yes. Our eco-friendly products are safe for kids and pets once they dry. Your technician will tell you how long to wait before the porch is back in use. Most families are back on the porch the same afternoon.
What if wasps come back after treatment?
Call and we will return at no charge. Wasps sometimes try to rebuild in the same spot, and a quick follow-up usually ends that.
