About us
One van, Rutherford, March 2009
Ken Aldaya spent eleven years spraying things for somebody else and got tired of spraying things that did not need spraying. So he bought a 1998 Astro van and started over.
He printed 500 door hangers and worked Rutherford and Lyndhurst alone for three years. The rule from week one was that the tech tells you the truth even when the truth costs us the job. If your problem is a gutter, we say gutter. That is still the rule, and it is why only 3 in 100 of our visits need a do-over.
Chemicals last, not first
Find the water. Close the hole. Clean up the mess that is feeding them. Then, if anything is left, treat it with the mildest thing that will work. It takes longer on day one and costs you less over three years, which is the whole trick.
Around town
Every crew does free mouse-proofing for two senior centers a year, and we run the tick table at the Morristown and Huntington farmers markets in May. Come say hi, we have stickers.
