Mission: Our mission is to be the most professional service company in Virginia, providing an environmentally safe and dependable service.

Professional pest control is performed with fully integrated pest management (IPM) programs. These treatment plans include much more than just applying pesticides to control spiders, earwigs, sow bugs, ants, fleas, ticks, roaches, mice and a long list of pests we call occasional invaders. These integrated treatments include thorough inspections to identify conditions around your home that might create harborage, provide food or water, or allow access into the house.

• PermaTreat starts with a free inspection and customizes a program to fit your needs.
   
• A typical residential pest control treatment includes removing spider webs around the perimeter of the house. Special attention must be paid to windows and doors but the entire perimeter must be checked. Our technicians will have their web removal brush treated with insecticide so that any spider contacted will be eliminated.
   
• Once the webs have been removed a residual pesticide formulation will be applied to all the possible pest entry points. These would include windows, doors, vents that extend through the wall, pipes or electric lines that travel through exterior walls, and any other possible access points for insect pests.
   
• Next, PermaTreat’s technician will treat mulch beds with a granular insecticide formulation that will slowly release insecticide into the area that breeds most of the occasional invaders homeowners deal with.
   
• If we were treating your home for rodents, there would be tamper resistant rodent bait stations at the perimeter of the house or the perimeter of the yard or both. These stations must be opened by our technician, cleaned out, and have new bait placed in them. Old, mildewed or chewed up bait will not attract rodents.
   
• While the treatments described above are being performed our technicians are looking for other pest problems such as stinging insects living in or around the structure, wood destroying insects, such as carpenter bees, and wood borers, creating holes in wood or termites building mud tunnels on the foundation. PermaTreat technicians would always be on the lookout for signs that squirrels and bats are trying to move in as well.
   
• Once the exterior is treated we would move to the inside of your home. In discreet locations around the interior our technicians will place pest monitors. Some of these monitors have pheromone lures in them and some are just sticky surfaces with an attractive scent. These monitors will allow our technicians to be pro-active and treat infestations before they get out of control.
   
• The interior of your home will be inspected, areas conducive to pest infestations will be identified and if possible eliminated. PermaTreat tries to minimize indoor applications so no more insecticide than is necessary will be applied inside your home.

Our service ticket will note areas of concern so that we can follow up during future visits. Usually a pest program with a very thorough initial treatment and subsequent quarterly visits works very well for residential customers. However, in some situations monthly or even weekly service may be required to gain control.
