Heights Residents Recommend Resolve for Ongoing Pest Control
Commercial Corridor Expertise Pet-Friendly Products No Contracts
“Fire ants had taken over our compost bin area and were spreading through the vegetable garden. David treated specifically, avoided the edible plants, and recommended follow-up timing to prevent re-establishment. Our garden is usable again and fire ants haven't returned.”
“We started Resolve's quarterly pest program when we bought our 1930s Heights home. It handles everything — ants, silverfish, spiders, the occasional roach. We've had zero pest issues inside the house since month one. Completely worth it.”

Case Study
The Heights: Cockroach Infestation Traced to Restaurant Alley Access
The Problem
A Heights homeowner one block from a Yale Street restaurant strip was dealing with persistent American cockroach infestations in the kitchen and utility room despite keeping the home spotless. DIY products provided temporary relief but infestations returned within weeks.
Our Solution
David identified the primary entry points — a shared utility conduit running from the alley-facing garage, gaps around the sewer cleanout access, and a compromised weatherstrip on the back door. He treated interior access points, applied exterior perimeter treatment, and sealed the utility conduit penetrations.
The Outcome
The homeowner reported zero cockroaches inside within two weeks of the initial treatment. Enrolled in a monthly exterior maintenance program, there has been no interior cockroach activity in the 11 months since initial treatment.
Pest Control FAQs for The Heights
Why do Heights homes near 19th Street and Yale Street have cockroach problems?
Restaurant food waste, grease traps, and dumpsters create large cockroach populations in commercial alleys. American cockroaches — sewer roaches — travel through utility conduits, sewer pipes, and underground connections into adjacent residential homes. Close lot lines and shared utilities make migration easy.
Do you use pet-friendly pest control products in The Heights?
Yes. We use EPA-registered products applied according to label instructions with specified re-entry intervals. Most exterior applications dry within a few hours. For homes with dogs, cats, or other pets, we advise on specific precautions before treatment.
Can I get pest control without a long-term contract?
Yes. Resolve does not require contracts. You can schedule a one-time treatment or set up a monthly or quarterly program and cancel anytime. We keep your business by doing good work, not by locking you into an agreement.
How do I protect my Heights vegetable garden or composting area from ants and pests?
We use targeted mound and granule treatment around garden borders and compost areas that avoids direct application to edible plants. Perimeter treatment keeps pests from moving into growing areas from neighboring lots.
How often should a Heights home be treated for general pests?
Most Heights homes near commercial corridors benefit from monthly exterior perimeter treatment from spring through fall, transitioning to quarterly in cooler months. Homes further from commercial pressure can often maintain quarterly programs year-round.
Keep Your Heights Home Pest-Free Year-Round
Restaurant corridors, dense residential lots, and an active outdoor culture make The Heights a high-pressure pest environment. Resolve's targeted programs maintain your perimeter and address the sources — not just the symptoms.
