R&D Pest Services

R&D Pest Services was a green company long before "green" could describe a company. We have never used truck mounted power sprayers, and instead have pioneered the use of our own custom-designed backpack sprayers to minimize the amount of chemical used. From day one, over twenty years ago, we have combined the use of baits, traps, and other least toxic alternatives as part of our service. Skilled and highly trained technicians are a critical part of R&D's green approach. All our techs carry two licenses beyond the basic applicators license within a few months of hire - very few (if any) companies can say that.

Ant control around homes and businesses is our specialty. We pioneered an outdoor-only approach to eliminating ant infestations over 20 years ago, and have continuously perfected our least-toxic technique ever since. Most other companies will insist on applying insecticides indoors to stop an ant invasion, and will usually spray baseboards and cabinets and even apply insecticide dusts into wall sockets. All of these are almost always unnecessary with our ant control approach. We use materials which take advantage of the ant's natural behavior and biology to carry the control agents to the nest, where they infect and kill the colony.

When bugs or rodents invade your most personal space - your home - it often makes sense to seek help from the experts. The materials experts use are almost always less invasive and more effective than those available over-the-counter. Well beyond that, our training and experience allows us to solve even the most difficult pest problems quickly. But how do you choose which company to allow into your home and yard? At R&D Pest Services, we answer YES to all these questions! We will give you the personal attention that you would expect from a family-owned business, because that's who we are.

All of our services for commercial properties are green services - they always have been. Since long before LEED certification standards were born, we have treated every office building as a sensitive account. By approaching most pest invasions from the source - the exterior - we immediately avoid introduction of volatile organic compounds (VOC's) to the interior space. We always use an integrated pest management (IPM) approach and consider sanitation practices, exclusion, and traps as our first choices.
