Pest Control/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer questions related to Wood Destroying Organisms, like Fungi and Termites, and Structural Pests, such as Argentine ants, funnel-web spiders, Oriental Cockroaches, etc. I can give very limited advice in regards to landscape pests and vertebrae, ie cinch bugs, gophers, voles, etc. I cannot identify or advise on mold or the structural compliance in regards to building codes, etc.
Experience in the area
I own ProCraft Pest Control and worked for Terminix in all capacities, WDO and General Pest.
Organizations
