Just as you wouldn’t prescribe medicine for yourself or drill your own cavities, you shouldn’t attempt to control termites or other pests on your own. The products and the expertise offered by Green Army far surpasses what a homeowner could do on their own. Leave it up to the experts for peace of mind. Why risk it?

Pest control issues very greatly from situation to situation and from home to home. Sometimes you may think that you have one problem, but the root of the issue stems from something else. At Green Army we don’t want you to pay for anything you don’t need and want to provide you with service that fixes your problem.

1. Keep all kitchen areas clean (including floors) and free of useless clutter. Kitchen appliances should be kept free of spills and crumbs. Clean shelves regularly and store foods such as cereal, flour, and dog food in airtight containers.

2. Keep garbage areas clean. Garbage should be stored in sealed containers and disposed of regularly.

3. Check pipes and pipe areas around the house for leaks, cracks and gaps and seal and patch any problems if necessary. Leaky faucets should also be fixed.

4. Keep basements, attics, and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry. If you have mold and mildew in your home or office crawlspace, it’s a symptom of an excess moisture problem.

5. Inspect boxes, grocery bags and other packaging you bring into your home thoroughly. Insects have also been known to come in on potted plants and in luggage.

Often times you are free to stay in and around the house while our trained professionals work. There may be rare cases where we need the house to be cleared out for a few hours, but we will always make sure to communicate that in advance.

Ants are attracted to food around the house, so make sure that all of your food is in an air tight and sealed container. Try to only eat in your kitchen and dining room to avoid spreading crumbs throughout the house and to keep the ants contained to just those areas.

Termites are nearly impossible for homeowners to treat on their own. On the other hand, Green Army® has the training, expertise and technology to eliminate termite colonies and infestations, giving you peace of mind.

There are two primary types of treatments available to Green Army® customers. The time tested liquid treatment creates a barrier in the soil between the invading subterranean (underground) termite colony and your home. The alternative treatment is called a Green Army® bait station, which is a baiting system. This system is a more “green” approach than a liquid treatment, but both are effective methods of control.

A trained and licensed Green Army® professional is the best person to make a recommendation for each particular property.

Termites love moisture. Eliminate any moisture around the foundation of your home. Divert water away with properly functioning downspouts, gutters and splash blocks. Reduce humidity in crawl spaces with proper ventilation. Prevent shrubs, vines and other vegetation from growing over and onto the home and covering vents. Be sure to remove old form boards, grade stakes, etc., left in place after the building was constructed. Remove old tree stumps and roots around and beneath the building. Most importantly, eliminate any wood contact with the soil. An 18-inch gap between the soil and wood portions of the building is ideal. It doesn’t hurt to routinely inspect the foundation of your home for signs of termite damage.

Absolutely. Carpenter ants, carpenter bees and powder post beetles are all categorized as wood destroying insects. That’s why it’s important to have a professional identify the source of your problem and provide the most effective treatment to control it.

Cockroaches have long been one of the most common household pests in our area. We’ve developed years of expertise in solving cockroach problems. Our control strategy depends upon the species of cockroach, which is why inspection and identification is an important first step. Upon identification of the species and analysis of the situation, a strategy is developed. Green Army® technicians utilize baits, carefully placed out of reach of children and pets, to eliminate cockroach populations. In other situations, insect growth regulators, which inhibit the ability of the cockroach to molt and grow, are used in combination with other methods. And additionally, we provide information to clients about the ways that they can minimize pest immigration and avoid providing harborage for pest populations. So you see, cockroach control is really best achieved through a combination of techniques – an “integrated” approach to pest management.

The house mouse is one of the most common pests triggering a call to Green Army®. They are best dealt with using an integrated approach including exclusion, sanitation, and population reduction. Usually traps are employed to eliminate mice living inside buildings, but rodenticide baits occasionally have some utility as well. Each account should be inspected and assessed for the best approach to use at each home/building.

Most pest moths fall into one of two categories: 1) stored product pest moths, or 2) clothes moths. We can help solve problems with both groups of pests. In both cases, the solution involves identifying the source and eliminating them. In conjunction, a program can be devised to monitor for their presence. Programs vary widely depending on the account. Residential services and commercial services can take on radically different approaches and each requires individual assessment.
