The Region’s Most Referred
Pest Control Team,
According to Everyone
But the Pests.

We crawl under porches, pull back insulation, and find the colony before it finds your joists — termite to tick, raccoon to roach. Same-day dispatch in county trucks that know every crawlspace in your zip code.

I manage twelve units across three buildings. When Shield walks through, the tenants stop calling. That’s not a small thing — that’s the whole thing.

Field Intelligence

Five Infestations.
One Number to Call.

Every species listed below has been found in this county in the past twelve months. Our technicians carry species-specific treatments in every truck, every day.

Subterranean Termite

Reticulitermes flavipes

Immediate

A mature colony of 60,000 workers consumes a foot of 2×4 pine in under five months. They travel through soil, entering through cracks narrower than a credit card.

$6,800Avg. repair cost avoided

Norway Rat

Rattus norvegicus

Immediate

Rodents gnaw electrical wiring — responsible for 20% of undetermined house fires. A single pair can produce 2,000 descendants in one year under ideal conditions.

2,000+Descendants per pair, annually

Carpenter Ant

Camponotus pennsylvanicus

Within 48h

Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood — they hollow it for galleries. Silent, slow, and present in 34% of older wood-frame homes. Often misidentified until damage is advanced.

34%Older homes with active colonies

Asian Tiger Mosquito

Aedes albopictus

Scheduled

Breeds in as little as a bottle cap of standing water. Active from dawn to dusk, unlike common mosquitoes. Established populations in 40 states and expanding northward each season.

Raccoon

Procyon lotor

Within 48h

A nursing female tears open fascia boards with 10× human grip force. She will return. Eviction without exclusion work is a temporary measure — we seal the entry point the same day.

Client Record

What They Said
After the Trucks Left.

Found droppings behind the refrigerator at 11 PM. Called Shield at midnight — they were at my door by 8 AM. The technician walked me through every entry point. Six weeks later, nothing.

Rodents

The WDI report came back clean and my closing happened on schedule. Shield turned around the inspection in 24 hours. My clients were relieved. I was relieved.

Termites

A raccoon had been in the attic for two weeks before we found her. Shield removed the family, sealed the fascia board, and left documentation for my insurance claim. Professional in every sense.
