Services
The four we chase all summer
01
Odorous house ants
The trail across the counter is almost always odorous house ants — and spraying it is the worst move available: the colony buds into five and you have made the problem hereditary. We bait with a gel the workers carry home to the queens, then caulk the entry the scouts found. Gone in about four days, instead of every summer.
02
Wasps & yellowjackets
Paper wasps under the eave, yellowjackets in the lawn, bald-faced hornets in the maple. Treated at dusk when the colony is home, with a dust that clings to the entrance and travels in on every wing. Nest removed next visit, the void filled, and the eave banded so the next queen shops elsewhere.
03
Rodents
Deer mice in the garage, Norway rats by the bin line. A snap-trap program over two weeks — never poison in the wall, where they die and announce it — then the exclusion: copper mesh in every gap wider than a dime, door sweeps, and the sleeve behind the AC line. You get photos of every sealed gap in the report.
04
Mosquitoes
Larvicide dunks in the bird bath and the French drain, a residual barrier on the underside of the foliage line where they rest by day, and a drainage walk — mosquitoes are a water problem before they are a chemistry one. Creek-front lots run the monthly plan; most yards hold on four visits a season.
The Pinemont method
Low-spray by design
Integrated pest management is a plain term for a simple order of operations: identify first, change the conditions second, chemistry last and targeted. A Pinemont truck carries gel baits, desiccant dusts and glue-board monitors — the calendar route, where a tech hoses the baseboards whether anything is there or not, is the thing this company was founded to replace. Every report names the species, the product and the re-entry time.
The 30-day comeback clause
If you see live activity inside 30 days of a treatment, the follow-up is free — no debate, no trip charge, on the calendar within 48 hours of your call. It is printed on the invoice, not held in the handshake.
Pinemont, measured
The valley says
Word travels at the co-op
Three outfits sprayed the same ant trail for two summers straight. Pinemont identified odorous house ants in ten minutes, baited instead of sprayed, and the trail was gone in four days — and it stayed gone. The report even named the gel.
Wasps in the playground eave two days before a Sunday full of children. They came at dusk, treated while the colony was home, and the nest was down and the void sealed before anyone arrived. Nobody got stung, including the tech.
The rodent program is the cleanest money we have spent on this house. Traps out, traps gone, and then the part nobody else did: copper mesh and photos of every gap they closed. The report reads like evidence.
Before you call
Straight answers
The five we get on every first call. If yours is not here, dispatch answers the number at the bottom of this page, seven to six, valley-wide.
Do we have to leave the house?
No. The interior work is crack-and-crevice placement, not a broadcast fog — product goes where the pest lives, not where you do. Re-entry is 45 minutes after the last placement, once gels and dusts have set. You can watch the whole thing if you want; most people make lunch.
Is it safe for the dog and the kid?
The placements are inside wall voids, cabinet kick-plates and the garage threshold — not on counters or floors. We flag every product by its label before we use it: aquariums get covered with the pump off, bird cages need a day out of the room, and the beehive down the fence line gets a 25-foot buffer from the perimeter band.
Why not just spray the trail?
Because odorous house ants bud under pressure: kill the workers on the trail and the colony splits into several colonies, each with its own queens. That is how a small problem becomes a hereditary one. Bait lets the workers do the delivering — the colony dies at the source in days.
What is actually in the Seasonal Shield plan?
Four treatments synchronized to the valley's hatch calendar — early spring perimeter, early summer foliage line, late summer wasp watch, and a fall rodent-proofing pass. Unlimited call-backs between visits, and the materials change with the season rather than the schedule.
What if they come back?
Inside 30 days, the follow-up is free and on the calendar within 48 hours — printed on the invoice. One-treatment wonders do not exist in this trade; the comeback clause is how a pest company proves it believes in its own work.
The late-summer wasp calendar fills first — most bookings land inside the week. (555) 018-2214 · dispatch@pinemontpest.example

Street, town, and what you are seeing — a live specimen in a baggie is worth a paragraph of guessing. A tech calls the same day, and the first visit includes the inspection and the written report. dispatch@pinemontpest.example
