The ABC Process
1. Contact ABC
When you contact us, we will schedule an inspection to get an understanding of the problem. In some cases, we can give you a quote over the phone.
2. Get An Estimate
If you have an inspection, we will send you a custom treatment plan and estimate afterward. Once we get your approval, we will schedule your treatment.
3. Treatment
We will come to your property and treat for pests in common hiding and nesting areas. Over time, you will start seeing less and less pest activity.
4. Prevention
Customers with our ongoing pest management services will receive periodic retreatments to prevent the return of the most common pests in our area.
ABC’s rodent and wildlife control program begins with a free inspection.
At that time, our inspector will:
- Ask you questions to learn more about the extent of your problem
- Take a closer look at possible entry points
- Make recommendations on how to best manage your pest problem
- Answer any questions you might have
After that meeting, ABC will deliver a FREE, no-obligation estimate. After you approve the estimate, we will work with you to find a time for the work to begin.
Our technicians are trained to look for two things: places that these larger pests can enter your property and possible food and water sources. Once the animal is identified, right-sized traps are laid and checked regularly so that these pests can be removed and relocated humanely.
ABC’s next job is to make sure these critters don’t come back. That means taking steps to address the availability of food and water and sealing all possible entry points. Our technicians will install sheet metal, wire mesh, copper wool and concrete materials covers over any openings near your home’s exterior to prevent rodents and other small creatures from getting inside.

What are some warning signs that might indicate I have a rodent infestation?
Rodents are experts at squeezing into small spaces. These larger pests can make a home inside of your walls, in your attic, near your roofline and in other out of the way places that are difficult to access.
A rodent problem can turn into an infestation quickly. Often the only signs rats or mice are living in your home is if you hear scratching noises or see droppings or gnaw marks in and around your home.
Why is it so difficult to keep rodents away?
Rodents are highly adapted to live among humans. We provide rats and mice with all that they need to survive: food, water and shelter. Rats can tread water for days, survive a fall from a five-story building and live through the experience of being flushed down the toilet. The house mouse is one of the most common mammals on earth, as well as one of the most prolific, and can jump a foot high.
Keeping rodents away requires a comprehensive approach. Most homeowners take some steps to keep rodents away, but are unable or unwilling to regularly access the many areas where rodents could be nesting, including along the roof or attic to check for signs of these pests.
How can I prevent rodents and other types of wildlife from entering my property and my home?
Ways to make your property less attractive to these creatures include:
- Keeping human and pet food in tightly-sealed containers that are indoors instead of in your garage or yard.
- Cleaning up any spills or discarded food from your dining and kitchen areas promptly.
- Identifying and sealing holes in your home’s exterior and along windows, doors and attics that could provide a way for rodents to find their way inside.
- Removing potential nesting sites in your yard by avoiding overgrowth and removing woodpiles and other debris.

“Our front lawn was beyond help so we hired ABC to replace the grass and install limestone chop block borders. Vince Ng handled the estimate and oversight while the work was done by the site supervisor, Benjamin, along with Fidel and Juan. They were timely, professional, AND thorough!! We are so thrilled with the results and bonus was the price was very reasonable. When they planted the shade tolerant St. Augustine last month, it was pretty dormant but is greening up nicely. Highly recommend ABC…we also use them for irrigation and just started monthly lawn maintenance. Very happy customers!!”
