Other Home Services
Services Include:
Chimney Capping
Pest control can involve more than just insects! Without proper capping, birds, raccoons, squirrels and other pests can nest inside your chimney. Western will install America's best-made chimney cap - a heavy gauge, 100% galvanized steel cap that keeps unwanted pests out and keeps in dangerous sparks that can ignite your roof. Additionally, Western will even remove pests that are currently nesting in your chimney.
Ventilation Systems
Proper air ventilation systems can help protect your home from foundation decay, moisture, odor, mildew and even frozen pipes and termite infestation. Western's approach is to install temp vents in your crawl spaces. These vents open and close with outside temperatures to promote air circulation within the crawl space.
Moisture Barriers
Western can custom fit a polyethylene moisture barrier in your crawl space, preventing moisture from reaching the wooden parts of your home, thus reducing crawl space odors as well as wood rot.
Deck Cleaning/Sealing
Your deck is constantly exposed to rain, snow, sun and temperature changes, which can cause unprotected wood to warp and crack, develop mildew and discolor to a dingy gray. Our power cleaning solution is completely environmentally safe and we'll remove any dirt, mildew and grime and restore the wood to its natural, bright color, and apply a sealant to protect wood in the future.
Powerwashing
Our powerwashing experts can remove built-up dirt, grime, and mildew from your home's siding, facades, masonry, porches, and more. We use an environmentally friendly solution and expert equipment to complete the job in a couple of days.
Pest control is one of the most important ways to maintain your home. But it is not the only one. That's why Western offers a variety of home maintenance services that will help ensure you have a healthy home. Western provides services for gutter cleaning, chimney capping, live animal trapping and removal, vapor barriers, temperature vents, moisture control, power washing and our ThermoZone™ Insulation Program. And our trained technicians will also perform a detailed inspection to document termites and any other wood destroying insects that can possibly damage your home.
Western's Advanced Baiting System includes:
Step 1: Western's Advanced Baiting stations with electronic monitoring devices will be placed in the soil around your home.
Step 2: The stations will be checked regularly and scanned electronically for termite activity.
Step 3: The termites will feed on RecruitTM IV termite bait, tunnel out and send other colony nestmates back to feed on the bait. As they do, the colony starts to decline and will eventually be eliminated.
Step 4: After a colony has been eliminated, the bait will be replaced with new electronic monitoring devices. We will continue to inspect these regularly to detect any new colony that might invade your property.
The Importance of Ongoing Monitoring
A new termite colony can invade at any time. Monitoring stations are placed at precise intervals around your home. They stand guard as the first line of defense. When an inspection of a monitoring station shows termite activity, Western introduces the Advanced Baiting System. Immediately, additional bait stations may be installed near the infested monitor and they are constantly monitored and rebaited until all activity ceases. The stations are then re-converted to monitoring status to continue protecting your home.
