Graduate Pest Solutions

Each year, our region has new cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), West Nile, Lyme disease, and many other illnesses resulting from mosquito and tick bites. The risk to our families and our pets posed by these disease-carriering insects is a risk many of us are simply not willing to take. It's important to understand these two aspects of effective tick and mosquito control. Graduate Pest Solutions is a state-certified specialist in tick and mosquito control and our low impact treatments are highly effective and environmentally sensitive.

Subterranean termites are small, creamy white to dark brown insects about 1/8 inch long. They cause BILLIONS of dollars of damage to homes and commercial property in the USA every year! Subterranean termites live in underground colonies with as many as two million members. Their lifestyle is much like that of an ant, except they do it all underneath the soil's surface. They tunnel along randomly looking for wood to consume. Your concrete foundation is nothing more than a rock and the wood frame of your home is a fallen log in the forest.

Bed bugs are infesting commercial facilities like hotels, housing authorities, colleges, apartments, and hospitals, just to name a few. At Graduate Pest Solutions our commercial bed bug team implements a 3-part plan to assess, detect, and correct with appropriate treatment options. Termites cause more than $5 billion in damage per year in the United States alone. Unfortunately, many commercial facilities are infested, but no one knows until it's too late. Our team of Termite specialists will inspect your property for signs of termites to determine if they are present and prescribe the best treatment plan to eliminate them from your facility.

What gives you the creeps? Is it something that goes bump in the night, a howling wind, thoughts of ghosts and goblins or. Bed Bugs are "hitchhikers" extraordinaire! They will hide in suitcases, boxes and shoes to be near a food supply. They are elusive, nocturnal creatures and can hide behind baseboards, electrical switch plates, picture frames, even wall paper. But, they prefer to be in bed with you. They feed for a few minutes at night and hide in your mattress, box spring or favorite recliner, all the while making more Bed Bugs!

The experts at Graduate Pest Solutions have been doing Integrated Pest Management for years. We call it IPM; you now know it as being green, going green and getting greener, etc. Pests need three things to survive and flourish. They need food, water, and shelter. IPM seeks to deny as many of these as possible, thereby preventing, suppressing, repelling, and possibly eliminating the pest population. IPM discourages the old mindset of "see it/spray it" and "if a little bit is good, more must be better."
