When we think about calling in an exterminator, it usually means to deal with an existing problem.

Not here! This is all about prevention. Deal with and control subterranean bugs before they become a problem.

We were fortunate enough to meet Dennis Harrigan from D&A Extermination on a visit to the island prior to starting our home. When we met he was preparing to put all his years of experience into a business of his own. He is extremely knowledgeable in this field and loves his work.

Dennis sprays a strong dosage of chemical treatment on the backfilled area. No spot is left untouched. The team covers the sprayed area with a moisture membrane, which serves a dual purpose.

  • stop any watering down effect of the chemical sprayed if there is rainfall prior to the concrete pour.
