Pest Control

RIA offers monthly, quarterly, and one-time pest control services for both residential and commercial clients.  RIA utilizes chemical sprays, granules, traps, and bait gels to ensure elimination of all pests.   We service the exterior and interior of the property at each visit and provide a return-trip guarantee – if pests return – so will we!

Pest Facts

• Pests can transmit as many as 15 major disease-causing organisms including: West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, malaria, plague, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

• Insect stings force half a million people to the emergency room every year.

• Rodents have been implicated in fires across the country by chewing wires and spilling flammables.

• Public health officials attribute the quality of life we have today to three things: better pharmaceuticals and vaccines, better sanitation and better pest control.

• Seven to eight percent of the general population is allergic to cockroaches. Studies of inner city children in Atlanta with chronic wheezing and runny noses revealed that 44% of them were allergic to cockroaches. Recent surveys attribute cockroach allergens as the number three contributor to children's asthma.

• Bedbugs have made a “come back” in the U.S. due to increased travel.

Integrated Pest Management

RIA utilizes Integrated Pest Management as our approach to pest control for both residential and commercial property.  Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. 

Residential Pest Control

Monthly, Quarterly, or One-Time Service:
RIA customizes a pest control plan based on your specific house. A quarterly treatment plan is normally recommended to eliminate current pests and prevent future pests from entering the home.  In some cases, monthly service is recommended if a home is highly-infested with pests and may require more chemical to eliminate.  Once the pests are under control, a quarterly treatment is then recommended. 

RIA also offers One-Time pest treatments typically utilized when moving into a home or to target a particular pest or area.  We’ll work with you to schedule a one-time or pest start up after you close, but before you move in.  That way, we’ll be able to get in every part of the house.  We can also do one-time services when you have a major problem with fleas or if you need an entire yard spray.  With the one time pest treatment, RIA will only guarantee pest elimination for short amount of time because there is no continuous spray involved. If pests come back within one month of the one-time service, RIA will come back out for free and spray the areas where pests still exist.

 

Return Trip Guarantee:
RIA guarantees that once the pest control is done on the property, if pests come back, so will we. When you call RIA for your pest control treatment, you can be rest assured that we will take care of your problems.  If pests return, call our office and a technician will service your house within 48 hours.
 

Types of Chemicals:
RIA uses chemicals that are EPA approved for use in schools.  Our chemicals are very-low odor and any smells should dissipate within two hours of spraying.  Although the chemicals are considered safe, RIA prefers to err on the side of safety so we recommend all children and pets be kept away from the areas treated for two hours.

 

Commercial Pest Control

Free Inspection and Customized Service Plan:
RIA will not sell a commercial pest control service based on a phone consultation. RIA will send a trained inspector to examine the property for free. The inspector will take as little of your time as possible, but do a thorough inspection to make sure that all pests and entry points are noted so that your pest control plan will be customized for your property.

 

Monthly, Quarterly, or One-time Service:
RIA customizes your pest control plan based the commercial house or building being treated. RIA recommends in most circumstances that a monthly treatment be done. With commercial properties, there are more entry points for pests to enter, as well as more people in and out of the property.  Quarterly spraying may not take care of the problem.  However, some commercial properties such as offices, may not require as much attention as a food handling property. In these cases, a quarterly pest service may be sufficient.  While continuous service is recommended, RIA also offers One-Time pest treatments typically utilized when moving into a property. With the one time pest treatment, RIA will only guarantee pest elimination for short amount of time because there is no continuous spray involved. If pests come back within one month of the one-time service, RIA will come back out for free and spray the areas where pests still exist.
 

Return Trip Guarantee:
RIA guarantees that once the pest control is done on the property, if pests come back, so will we. When you call RIA for your pest control treatment, you can be rest assured that we will take care of your problems.  If pests return, call our office and a technician will service your house within 48 hours.
 

Types of Chemicals:
RIA customizes your commercial pest control to your specific property. Chemicals that are used in offices or apartments may not be able to be used in food handling places or daycare centers. Call RIA to get your customized service plan today!
