Typical job

What homeowners notice: A homeowner in an older Riverside-area house noticed mud tubes on a brick pier and cotton-like material on a nearby oak. Nothing had been seen inside.
What we do: The inspection started outside, at the foundation and the tree zone, then sounded the sill and the porch joint. The plan treated the soil route at the pier and set a bait plan for the tree zone.
What to expect: The written plan named each route, the products and the dates for the next checks. The homeowner was asked to report any new tube before the next visit.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A woodpile had been stacked against the siding for several years. The homeowner asked whether it mattered, since the wood looked sound.
What we do: The technician measured the clearance, found tubes under the bottom logs and marked the contact line. The pile was moved onto a rack a foot from the wall, and the contact point was rechecked.
What to expect: The contact point was clear at the next visit. The homeowner kept the pile off the wall and added it to the seasonal walk.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A landlord was about to re-let a unit and had no record of the previous tenant's report of a damp wall in the kitchen.
What we do: The move-out inspection found a soft spot below the sink and a damp stain on the back wall. The plumbing was referred to a plumber, and the wall was treated and rechecked.
What to expect: The owner had a dated record of the repair and the inspection before the new lease, and the tenant was given the reporting route in writing.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: Biting mosquitoes were a problem in the shade of a backyard every evening from late spring, and the homeowner had already emptied the obvious containers.
What we do: The technician found a shaded planting bed and a clogged gutter as the main resting and breeding sites. Those were cleared and the bed was treated where the label allowed, with visits planned through the season.
What to expect: The homeowner had a seasonal plan and a short list of weekly tasks, and reported fewer biting adults by the mid-season visit.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A buyer had a short inspection period and wanted a termite report before deciding. The seller had recently painted the trim in the front bedroom.
What we do: The inspection covered the outside, the framing, the crawlspace and the moisture readings. The painted trim was sounded and a small soft spot was found at the sill.
What to expect: The report named the finding, the area not reached in a closed attic, and a repair quote from a carpenter. The buyer asked for the repair in the contract.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A builder wanted the soil under a new slab treated before the concrete was poured, and needed a record for the building file.
What we do: The site was cleared of form boards and cut stumps, the slab edge and the utility penetrations were treated, and the zones were mapped on the foundation plan.
What to expect: The record listed each zone, the product, the operator and the monitoring dates, and the builder kept a copy with the building file.

Typical job

What homeowners notice: A resident noticed biting adults across several yards on one block after a heavy storm, and did not know whether the source was on their own lot.
What we do: The resident cleared their own containers and gutters, wrote down the addresses and the dates, and made a request to the City of Jacksonville Mosquito Control Division.
What to expect: The resident kept the reference number and called again with new dates when the problem continued. The request was made with the detail the division needed.
