Pest Control
Martin Exterminating offers complete Pest Control services, which include treating your home or business for a plethora of pests (sorry, not the two-legged ones). We have been doing this for over 50 years and would love to have your business!
We offer pest control services for residential and commercial customers along with customized plans. Our pest control services are unmatched as we are a local family-run company that is large enough to serve you yet small enough to know you.
Martin Exterminating practices the use of Integrated Pest Management or (IPM). IPM is not a single pest control method; it is a series of evaluations, decisions, and controls in our approach to controlling the pest problem. Our approach incorporates exclusion, monitoring, identifying, preventing, and controlling the pest(s) at hand. Please ask about bundling your pest control service with other services for great savings!

Bed Bug Information
Finding bed bugs in your home has nothing to do with poor hygiene! It takes only one bed bug to hitch a ride on your clothing (furniture, suitcase, etc) and infest your home or business. What’s worse, is they can live years without drinking a drop of your blood. Feeding takes about 10 to 15 minutes for adults and less for the nymphs; they feed about every three days. Depending on the conditions, bed bug nymphs can survive for months without feeding. There are numerous products available via retail although it takes education, training, and other methods to eradicate most infestations. In addition, use of other products will affect the approach by a professional pest control company in order to eliminate the bed bugs.

Wildlife Control
BEFORE YOU CALL, FOLLOW THESE STEPS!
- Identify the wildlife species involved.
- Before contacting for assistance be certain the problem is sufficiently severe and persistent so as to require action.
Consider the alternatives in the following order:
- Remove food sources, cover materials or vegetation, overhanging tree limbs, or other means of access that initially attracted and is now holding wildlife in your location.
- Establish protective structures or barriers to prevent wildlife from entering and damaging property.
- Humanely remove wildlife from buildings and grounds. (If trapping, transporting or killing wildlife is involved, a Wildlife Depredation Permit will be needed.)
- Permanently repair buildings to prevent re-infestation.
- Monitor buildings and grounds periodically for recurring problems, taking appropriate, immediate attention to control and prevent damage.
If these measures fail to resolve the wildlife-caused damage, contact our Certified Wildlife Damage Control Agents to handle your wildlife issue for you.
