Family-owned. Locally operated. PIP delivers science-backed pest prevention and elimination across all of Waukesha County — because the best pest problem is one that never starts. PIP stands for Preventative Insect Provisions — and that name is intentional. My approach focuses on prevention over reaction. Instead of waiting for an infestation and then charging you to fix it, I build treatment plans designed to stop pest problems before they start. That means thorough inspections, targeted applications at the right times of year, exclusion recommendations, and ongoing monitoring — not just a quarterly spray.
