At Sunrise Pest Defense, pest control isn’t just about eliminating pests—it’s about solving the problem at its source and ensuring pests don’t come back. While many companies stop at basic treatments, we go further to provide a comprehensive approach that delivers long-term results, also known as Integrated Pest Management.

Here’s how we do it:

1. Exterminate the Pests: Our expert treatments are designed to effectively eliminate pests from your home or property. Whether it’s roaches, rodents, ants, or other unwelcome guests, we use proven methods to get them out of your space quickly and safely.

2. Identify and Address the Source: Pests don’t show up by accident—they’re often drawn to certain conditions in or around your home. Our technicians don’t just treat the symptoms; we investigate to find the source of the infestation. From moisture buildup to food access points, we identify what’s attracting pests and provide solutions to remove those incentives.

3. Prevent Their Return: The final step in our process is prevention. We look for potential entry points, like gaps around doors, cracks in walls, or holes in your foundation, and recommend or implement measures to seal them up. This proactive approach stops pests from finding their way back into your home or business.
