Success Stories: Premium Properties Protected
The Medina Waterfront Estate
After multiple failed treatments from other companies, we discovered carpenter ants traveling from shoreline driftwood through underground irrigation lines. Our comprehensive solution protected the $8M property without disrupting the owners’ lifestyle.
The Sammamish Plateau Custom Home
New construction moisture attracted massive moisture ant colonies. We coordinated with the builder to implement permanent solutions that resolved the immediate issue and provided long term protection.

Pharaoh ants were migrating between units through shared plumbing chases. Our building wide treatment plan solved the problem for all residents while maintaining complete discretion.
