Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis was the first pest-control manual to effectively scare the public into taking action, expertly preying on humankind's terror of slimy bugs and waking up on Monday mornings. Banish bugs before you become one with today’s Groupon: for $39, you get a general pest-control visit from Bug Tech (a $90 value).

The licensed pest-control professionals at Bug Tech collapse the tent on creepy-crawly carnivals with safe and effective treatments. A technician first assesses a home for potential infestations, then develops a customized plan to banish intrusive bugs to the darkened corners of summer-camp bullies' sleeping bags. During general control sessions, an interior spraying of baseboards targets problematic pests such as ants, silverfish, and pill bugs before inspectors send stern eviction notices to earwigs and decree a ban on web-spinning for all nonpoisonous spiders. The treatment also targets hiding oriental roaches, coaxing them out with fake gift certificates for overnight vacation motels. An outside spraying of the perimeter adds another line of defense against unwanted houseguests.

With excellent customer service and a commitment to safety and cleanliness, Bug Tech works with customers to correct conditions conducive to pests and eliminate the root causes of infestations.
