Introducing STEPS™ Total Protection System
Family owned and operated since 1964, Hughes Exterminators® goes Beyond the Call® to protect your family’s health and property while caring for our environment. We’ve always believed you don’t have to be tough on the planet to be tough on bugs. Today, that belief has transformed into an exciting company-wide movement that is reflected in every step of the way we do business. Hughes Exterminators proudly presents the STEPS® Total Protection System. STEPS, short for Sustainability Through Environmental Practices and Solutions, is redefining what true protection is all about.
STEPS goes beyond pest and termite control. It goes beyond your property line. It goes Beyond the Call to focus every member of our team on providing your family with a healthier home, community and planet. Never before has there been an approach to pest and termite control that we can all feel this good about.
A Whole-Home Evaluation That’s as Careful as It Is Thorough
Your relationship with Hughes Exterminators begins with a whole-home evaluation. During this visit and all that may follow, we never forget that it’s not just a house, but your family’s home. We take every precaution to treat it with the same respect and care that you do.
After discussing any signs of infestation you may have seen, our Home Evaluator carefully surveys your property for potential entry points and signs of pest activity that are often difficult to detect with the untrained eye. This essential first step is very thorough. It includes the inspection of every part of your home that can potentially allow entry for pests and termites…which can be very different from one another. A subterranean termite invasion typically begins at the soil, often involving the assessment of some hard-to-reach areas. Common pests like ants and cockroaches aren’t limited to attack from the ground and will use numerous other points of entry, such as gaps around windows and doors or even at the roofline.
The STEPS Total Protection System looks closely at the total picture, top to bottom, inside and out. It’s the only way to determine the real root of any pest problem, as well as the best way to solve it.
Protect Your Investment and Preserve Your Environment — Yes, You Can Do Both
An integral part of the STEPS Total Protection System is the Sentricon® Termite Colony Elimination System, preferred by more homeowners than any other brand. In fact, Sentricon has been chosen to protect more than two million structures, including the Statue of Liberty, the White House, the Alamo and other national treasures.
When it was introduced, Sentricon revolutionized termite protection. Now, with over a decade of proven performance behind it, Sentricon has become the gold standard for termite colony elimination.
We Eliminate the Entire Colony.
As the cornerstone of your termite protection, your Hughes Exterminators Service Professional will place Sentricon stations in the soil around your home. These stations include a monitoring device that detects termite activity. If activity is identified, bait is placed in the affected stations. This bait is ingested by the workers and then carried back to the colony to be shared. This continues until the colony is eliminated.
Even after the colony has been eliminated, your Hughes Exterminators Service Professional continues to monitor the stations to guard against invasion by any new colonies. This ongoing monitoring feature means you can rest assured that your home and family are protected not only today, but tomorrow as well.
It’s Easy to See Why More People Prefer Sentricon.
As with every facet of the STEPS Total Protection System, Sentricon is designed to deliver maximum effectiveness with minimal invasiveness:
• No drilling in floors and foundations
• No trenching
• No scheduling hassles
Sentricon Earned One of the Federal Government’s Top Environmental Honors
Matching the right solution to the problem
The methods of eliminating drywood termite infestations are very different than those used when combating subterranean termites. Even within these two categories, there are multiple means of control. That’s why it’s so important to work with a company that has a great deal of experience and expertise in termite control. Your Home Evaluator from Hughes Exterminators® will pinpoint the exact nature of your termite problem and recommend the best solution for your particular situation. It will be a plan of attack designed specifically for your home. It’s not just the best way to solve the problem, it’s the only way.
