Services
Pest Control
Our comprehensive pest control service targets common household and commercial pests including ants, roaches, spiders, and wasps. Technicians implement perimeter protection treatments that create chemical barriers around properties to prevent infestations. Using EPA-registered products applied safely around children and pets, we offer silver, gold, and platinum protection plans with varying treatment frequencies and coverage areas that include property exteriors, foundation zones, and special treatment areas like decks and patios.
Rodent Control
This service addresses mouse and rat infestations through strategic bait station placement and entry point identification. Our technicians inspect properties for potential access points, then install monitored bait stations at optimal outdoor locations to manage rodent populations. The exclusion process includes sealing identified entry points and providing ongoing monitoring to prevent future infestations through a combination of chemical and physical barriers around residential and commercial properties.
Termite Control
Specializing in termite colony elimination, we use the patented Sentricon System with Always Active technology to target entire termite colonies. The installation process involves placing bait stations around properties to intercept termites before they reach structures. Our licensed technicians conduct thorough inspections for active infestations, implement continuous monitoring programs, and provide comprehensive wood-destroying insect inspections for real estate transactions while maintaining FHA and VA compliance standards for property protection.
Animal Trapping
Our wildlife removal service handles nuisance animals including raccoons, squirrels, bats, and skunks. Technicians perform complete property inspections to identify entry points, then implement exclusion strategies that prevent re-entry after removal. The process includes sealing access points, installing exclusion devices, and providing preventive maintenance to protect homes and businesses from wildlife intrusion through attics, crawl spaces, and foundation gaps.
Bed Bug Treatment
The bed bug treatment program combines EPA-registered chemical applications with comprehensive preparation protocols. Our specialists perform three treatments spaced 10-14 days apart, focusing on eliminating all life stages from eggs to adults. The process requires client cooperation for laundry preparation, furniture access, and post-treatment procedures while using chemical barriers that remain effective through multiple treatment cycles for complete eradication in residential and commercial environments.

Our experience with Capital City Exterminating has always been exceptional - kind, courteous and professional. Today Corey was a calmer of fears! There was a bat hanging inside our two-story foyer and he was able to get to us quickly and remove it before it decided to take off and fly somewhere else! What a relief!

One of our rentals has bed bugs. I called this company to exterminate. The product they use did not get rid of the bugs. I tried to save money and really regret using them. They have sprayed 3 times and the bugs are as bad as ever. The unit had recently been rehab'ed with new flooring and paint and they still couldn't get rid of the bugs. I. called another company I used before that got rid of ALL of the bugs. The first application got rid of most of the bed bugs. The tenant only found 2 live bugs after the first application. That company is Zuckermans.

Very complete professional service. Hardy the Technician was very pleasant to work with and provided a complete service. I was particularly pleased and impressed with his communication of what he was looking for as he located and refilled the basic stations.
