A 1920s bungalow in the Old Southwest and a five-year-old build in Damonte Ranch are two different jobs. We price them the same and treat them differently.

Reno's housing stock covers a century, and that matters more than anything else about servicing a home here. Pre-war construction in Midtown and the Old Southwest has unsealed stone foundations, vented crawl spaces, and old plumbing penetrations, so pests have dozens of ways in and the work is mostly sealing and inspection. A tight modern build in Damonte Ranch or Somersett has almost none of that, so the work moves outside, to the landscaping and the eaves where the pressure actually originates. Running the same visit on both is how people end up paying for a service that never touches their real problem.
The second thing that shapes a Reno home visit is where the house sits relative to open ground. Homes on the last street before the sage, the foothills, or the river corridor get resupplied with crickets, spiders, and rodents no matter how well they're sealed, and they need the perimeter on a tighter cycle than a house four blocks in. That's a routing decision, not an upsell: we'd rather come back more often to the edge of Somersett than sell an interior treatment that doesn't address where anything is coming from.
Everything runs on a recurring plan with no contract. If something turns up between scheduled visits, the re-treat is free and there's no trip fee attached to it, which is the only version of a guarantee that means anything.
Every residential pest control visit includes all of this. Where the time goes depends on your address.
Reno isn't one pest problem, and it isn't one treatment either. These are the parts of the city where this service does the most work, and why.
Brick and stone foundations that were never sealed, crawl spaces, and mature trees dropping limbs onto the roofline. On these homes most of the visit is spent on entry points and the crawl space rather than spraying indoors, because closing the route in does more than treating what already used it.
Newer construction on former wetland, tightly built and usually well sealed. The pressure is external: ants working in from the landscaping, wasps in fresh eaves and vinyl fencing, and the ponds and greenbelt feeding everything. Nearly all the work here happens outside the house.
The most exposed desert interface in the city. Crickets and wolf spiders arrive in waves each fall with rodents behind them, and homes on the outermost streets need the perimeter re-set on a tighter cycle than the interior blocks do.
High, exposed, and prone to standing water after a wet winter. Lemmon Valley's flooding history pushes voles and field mice toward foundations in numbers the core of the city never sees, and the open range on all sides keeps replacing them.

High-desert pressure is seasonal and it's predictable. Knowing which window you're in is most of knowing what to book.
Your first visitAny month
The first service is the long one. We walk the full perimeter, find the entry points, treat the harborage and the interior trouble spots, and knock down any wasp nests within reach. You get told what we found and what we'd fix, including the things that aren't our work to sell you.
The spring set-upMarch – May
Ants surface with the first sustained warm stretch and follow water, so the week the irrigation comes on is usually the week the trails appear. Getting the perimeter down before that, rather than after, is the difference between a barrier and a clean-up.
The fall resetSeptember – November
Reno's heaviest four weeks. Spiders, crickets, and rodents come off the open ground the moment overnight temperatures drop, and box elder bugs mass on sunny south and west walls. A perimeter treated in late August is what keeps that from becoming an indoor problem.
If the pests come back, so do we.
Free re-treats between scheduled visits, no questions, no extra invoice. That’s the Peak Promise.

Usually not, and we'll say so. On most Reno homes the interior gets treated on the first visit and then only where something is actually happening, because the work that keeps pests out is on the outside of the house. Older properties in Midtown and the Old Southwest are the exception: the crawl space and the entry points there are worth revisiting, and we'd rather spend the time down there than spraying baseboards that aren't the problem.
New construction is sealed far better than anything older, so you have less coming in through the structure. What you have instead is fresh landscaping, new irrigation, and open ground next door, which is exactly what ants and wasps move into. New builds in Damonte Ranch, Double Diamond, and ArrowCreek tend to need less interior work and more attention to the yard, the eaves, and the fence line.
Quarterly holds for most homes in the core of the city. Properties at the desert edge, Somersett, Mogul, ArrowCreek, Hidden Valley, and the North Valleys, generally do better on a bi-monthly cycle, because the boundary keeps resupplying them and a quarterly barrier has thinned out by the time the fall push arrives. We'll tell you which one your address needs rather than defaulting to the more expensive answer.
Yes, and we do a lot of it around UNR and in the newer south Reno HOAs. We can bill an owner or property manager directly, coordinate access with tenants, and work around a turnover schedule. Vacancy gaps between tenants are genuinely the best window to treat in, so it's worth telling us when one's coming.
Residential service in Reno is priced on the size of the property and what we're treating, never on which side of the city line you're on. Most Reno homes sit on one of our monthly plans: Pest Control at $65/mo (quarterly service), Pest + Weed at $125/mo (bi-monthly service), or Complete Property at $170/mo (bi-monthly service). Larger properties or heavy infestations can run higher, and we'll quote that up front after a free inspection. No contract either way.
Every visit covers: interior treatment of kitchens, baths, and entry points; exterior barrier around the foundation and eaves; de-webbing and wasp-nest knockdown; free re-treats between scheduled visits. What changes by address is the weighting. Midtown & the Old Southwest and Damonte Ranch & Double Diamond are two different jobs, so the technician decides on site where the time is best spent rather than running the same checklist everywhere.
