The proprietary products used by All Natural are food-grade, natural and botanical-based.
“We don’t claim to be green, we use inorganic compounds and botanical oils in our pest control operations and the products are all unique to us. Another thing that sets us apart is we don’t do any spot treatments but instead perform complete home pest control. We inject all the walls, your subfloor, the attic, the interior of the home and exterior. When we leave there’s no stone left unturned.”
All Natural effectively rids your structure of ants, termites, cockroaches, beetles, spiders, bats, fleas, mice, centipedes, sow bugs, silverfish, earwigs, crickets, mold, fungus and dry rot.

“Because it’s botanic, the pests can’t build up a selective resistance. It’s also a permanent protection backed by a lifetime renewable warranty with zero ground contamination.

“People protect their homes,” he said. “It’s the biggest single investment they’ll ever make and want to keep those critters out so they’re still calling us to help them. It’s a lot cheaper to pre-treat than to replace an entire floor after the damage has been done.”
“Last year we had a big uprise in hobo spiders because of the mild winter. What makes them so dangerous is they have very poor eyesight. They sense vibration and they attack. Business is steady. Right now we have an inspector and technician that works for us and I’m still a big part of every job we do as well.
“My goal is to change the environment of your home so the pests can’t live with you.”
