Broad Ripple Village's Commercial Pest Control Specialists

- ✓ Aprehend® Certified
- ✓ 100% Commercial Focus
We service the bar strip, the Trail, and the Canal — block by block.
No commercial pocket in Indianapolis runs harder than Broad Ripple Village. Broad Ripple Avenue between College and the Monon packs more bars, kitchens, and late-night operators per block than anywhere in Marion County. Guilford and Westfield each carry their own dense run of restaurants, salons, and indie retail. The Canal and White River pull rodent pressure inward year-round. The Monon Trail spine adds patios, breweries, ice-cream shops, and food trucks. Every one of those operators needs a different service rhythm.
ProTech was built for exactly this kind of density. We schedule kitchens during the dead hour after last call but before prep, work bar drains and fly traps overnight, handle bed bug discoveries at the music venues and short-term rentals around the Vogue without disrupting events, and manage rodent exclusion on the Canal-adjacent buildings where mice find their way in through utility penetrations every fall. Most national chains can't even staff a tech who'll show up at 3am — we plan our weeks around it.
We're a small, owner-operated commercial-only team. Your Broad Ripple bar, restaurant, salon, or boutique gets the same in-house ProTech tech every visit, with notes that carry forward and an owner you can text. No call center, no rotating subcontractors, no upsell scripts.
Built around the Village's actual commercial mix.
Bars and breweries. Kitchens and patios. Salons, fitness, indie retail, music venues, and the multifamily that wraps it all. The verticals that define Broad Ripple are the verticals we built ProTech around.
Broad Ripple Ave, Guilford, and the Vogue. Late-night drain fly programs, bar-mat & wellpipe rodent exclusion, post-event reset visits.
Brunch spots, sushi, BBQ, pizza, brewpubs — Broad Ripple's kitchen mix runs every cuisine. German roach control built around tiny prep lines and shared mechanical walls.
Sun King-area, Round Town, taproom operators. Drain fly programs, fruit fly source-tracing, grain-pest IPM in storage.
Guilford salons, yoga studios, pilates, barber shops. Discreet ant and pantry pest programs that don't disrupt clients on the floor.
Broad Ripple Ave boutiques, Westfield specialty retail, Monon-adjacent shops. Pantry pest, stored-product moth, and rodent programs sized for small footprints.
The Coil, Public Greens-area buildings, walk-up flats above retail. Aprehend® bed bug treatment that keeps units in service.
Mixed-use Village portfolios, retail strips, and the apartment buildings stacked above ground-floor commercial — coordinated common-area & tenant-space programs.
Massage, recovery rooms, IV bars, dermatology storefronts on Westfield. Low-toxicity IPM appropriate for client-facing wellness spaces.
We service every commercial vertical in the Village — coffee shops, ice-cream parlors, ghost kitchens, food trucks, boutique gyms, art galleries, performance venues, dance studios, and event spaces. If you operate a commercial address in 46220, we can help.
Every commercial pest service Broad Ripple operators need.
All commercial — no residential side-jobs. So when your Friday-night line is in the weeds and a roach scurries past a guest, you reach a real commercial tech, not an answering service.
Commercial Bed Bug Treatment with Aprehend®
Aprehend® is an EPA-registered biopesticide that eliminates bed bugs and their eggs without the prep, evacuation, or heat treatment traditional methods require. Critical for Broad Ripple's short-term rentals, walk-up flats above retail, and the multifamily buildings around the Village — where you can't take a unit out of service for 48 hours and the resident base turns over fast.
- ✓No room evacuation required
- ✓Kills eggs + adult bed bugs
- ✓Protection lasts up to 3 months
- ✓Discreet for residents, hosts, and guests

View service →What Village operators actually face.
Pest pressure for the 46220 commercial pocket — what we see on service calls, by venue type and by corridor.
Stacked Village kitchens share mechanical walls and floor drains — once one operator gets behind on service, infestations move building to building. Coordinated multi-tenant treatment matters.
The Canal and White River keep rodent populations active year-round. Fall pressure (Oct–Feb) drives mice indoors through utility penetrations on every Village commercial building over 30 years old.
Drain fly biofilm in bar wellpipes is the #1 fly call we get from Broad Ripple bars. Most national operators just spray — we run a brush-and-foam treatment on the actual breeding source.
High guest turnover at Village STRs and the apartments above commercial drives consistent bed bug pressure. Aprehend® lets us keep units in service while we treat.
Loafing and roosting on awnings, ledges, and Monon-side rooflines drive sanitation and slip-hazard issues. Spikes and netting beat sound deterrents long-term.
OHAs are the dominant ant species in Broad Ripple commercial buildings. They form supercolonies — wrong product fragments them and makes things worse.
Pre-1950s Village buildings with damp basements drive carpenter ant and termite pressure. Structural inspection matters more than surface treatment.
Late-summer wasp pressure on patio operators — yellowjackets at trash and bee swarms on awnings. Removal scheduled around service windows.
Broad Ripple's pest calendar runs cockroach-heavy year-round in the kitchen-stacked corridors, bed bug pressure climbs May–September with festival traffic and warm-season STR turnover, drain fly activity stays steady all year in the bars, and rodent indoor migration peaks October through February as Canal-side buildings warm up. Planning service against that rhythm is how we keep Village operators ahead of issues — not chasing them.
What Broad Ripple operators get with us — and don't get with national chains.
100% Commercial
No residential side-jobs. Every hour of our week is commercial pest management — so the judgment calls on bar drains, walk-in coolers, and shared kitchen walls are built for Broad Ripple operators, not homeowners.
Late-Night Service
We schedule treatment in the post-close window between last call and prep. Your bar gets serviced when no guests, no staff, and no inspectors are on the floor — and you walk into a clean line in the morning.
Aprehend® Bed Bug Specialist
We carry one of the few active Aprehend® certifications in the Indy metro. For Village short-term rentals, walk-up flats, and music venues that need discreet bed bug elimination without unit downtime, this matters.
Marion County Health Dept-Ready
Every service generates the documentation Marion County Public Health Department inspectors actually want to see. Pull it up in two clicks the moment you're scored.
No Subcontractors
Every Village service call is handled by an in-house ProTech technician. Same face, same notes, same accountability. No regional manager three states away with a rotating sub roster.
No Forced Contracts
We earn the account every month. You can cancel. We just think you won't — because you'll see what real commercial pest management looks like.
How we protect your Broad Ripple business.
On-Site Inspection
We walk your space — bar wells, prep line, walk-ins, dry storage, dumpster pad, roof access, mechanical penetrations. Map conducive conditions specific to your Village location.
Custom Pest Plan
Treatment selection, service frequency, and reporting format built around your operating hours, your venue type, and the specific pressure your Broad Ripple address actually faces.
Targeted Treatment
Low-toxicity, targeted products in the right places — not fogged across your service line. Scheduled around your dead hour, not yours.
Monitoring & Reporting
Ongoing monitoring stations, every-visit documentation, trend tracking, and Marion County Health Department-ready reports. You always know what we did and why.
Commercial operators across the Village.
Our bar's drain fly issue had been ongoing for two years with another company that just kept knocking them down with sprays. ProTech traced it to a single floor drain we'd been ignoring, brushed and foamed it, and we haven't had a fly call back since.
We had a bed bug discovery in one of our short-term rentals two days before a wedding-weekend booking. ProTech ran Aprehend® overnight, the unit was back in service the next morning, and the booking went through clean. That's the difference.
Our kitchen shares a mechanical wall with two other operators. ProTech coordinated treatment with our neighbors and we got the cascading roach issue under control in three weeks. The previous company never even mentioned the shared-wall problem.
