Chatham Arch & The Stutz Commercial Pest Control

From the Stutz Business Center's creative floor to Park Avenue walk-ups, College Avenue galleries, East 10th Street B&Bs, and the pre-war offices tucked between Mass Ave and 16th — we service the working creative economy just north of downtown.

Built For Chatham Arch

We service the Stutz, the walk-ups, and the gallery row — tenant by tenant.

Chatham Arch is one of the most complicated commercial pockets in the Indy metro to service correctly. The Stutz Business Center alone is a multi-tenant creative ecosystem — photographers with expensive backdrop paper, fashion designers with fabric bolts, small-batch food and beverage manufacturers, event-space operators, and a rotating cast of galleries — all stacked in a century-old industrial brick building with shared HVAC, original plumbing stacks, and pest pressure that moves floor to floor if one tenant skips service. A template-driven national chain can't even map a building like the Stutz, much less treat it coherently.

Outside the Stutz, Chatham Arch runs on pre-war walk-ups along Park Avenue and Broadway, converted single-family mansions operating as B&Bs and boutique offices, small professional services in century-old brick row buildings, and gallery spaces along College Avenue and East 10th. Every one of these operators needs discreet, client-aware service — not a van with a national chain logo parked out front during business hours.

We're a small, owner-operated commercial-only team. Your Chatham Arch studio, gallery, B&B, walk-up, or Stutz tenant space 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.

Pest Pressures in Chatham Arch

What Chatham Arch operators actually face.

Pest pressure for the Chatham Arch footprint — what we see on service calls, by building type and by tenant profile.

House Mice
High
The Stutz Business Center, pre-war walk-ups, converted-mansion offices

Century-old brick with original mortar joints is mouse heaven. The Stutz alone is a multi-floor mouse ecosystem if even one tenant stops running interior monitoring. Our programs emphasize exterior exclusion on the frontage-side and interior monitoring floor-by-floor.

Bed Bugs
High
B&Bs along Park Avenue, short-term rentals, walk-up flats

B&B guest turnover plus STR traveler rotation plus old walk-up stacks drive consistent bed bug pressure across Chatham Arch. Aprehend® is the only product that keeps units bookable through treatment — critical here.

Carpenter Ants
High
Pre-war walk-ups, Stutz wood framing, converted-mansion offices

Century-old wood-frame construction with moisture from old roof flashing and masonry wicking drives heavy carpenter ant pressure. They'll colonize original joists, door framing, and sill plates. Surface treatment misses the galleries — we inject at the source.

German Cockroaches
High
Stutz food/beverage tenants, walk-up kitchens, basement-served cafe operations

Stacked plumbing in the Stutz and in walk-up buildings means German roaches move tenant to tenant. One operator skipping service triggers a building-wide cascade. Coordinated multi-tenant treatment matters.

Odorous House Ants
Medium
Galleries, creative offices, walk-up common areas

OHAs are the dominant ant species in Chatham Arch commercial space. They form supercolonies in voids inside pre-war brick. Spray makes it worse — only non-repellent baiting clears them.

Drain Flies & Fruit Flies
Medium
Stutz food tenants, small-batch beverage operators, B&B kitchens

Small-batch distillers, coffee roasters, and B&B prep kitchens in century-old buildings breed drain flies in original cast-iron plumbing biofilm. Fruit fly pressure in fermentation-adjacent Stutz tenants is year-round.

Pigeons & Starlings
Medium
The Stutz rooflines, decorative brickwork, gallery storefront awnings

Century-old industrial rooflines at the Stutz and surrounding buildings offer perfect loafing and nesting. Decorative brickwork on walk-ups houses starling nests. Spikes, netting, and soffit exclusion — not sound deterrents.

Stored Product Pests
Seasonal
Fashion/fabric studios, photo paper storage, small-batch food makers

Indian meal moth in small-batch food storage, carpet beetles in fashion fabric bolts, cigarette beetles in specialty retail — stored product pests are a specific Stutz-tenant pressure that requires inventory-walk inspections.

Chatham Arch Pest Calendar

Chatham Arch pest pressure runs mouse-heavy year-round in the Stutz and walk-up stacks with fall migration peaking October through February, bed bug activity climbs May–September with travel season B&B turnover, carpenter ant swarms reveal themselves April-June, and drain/fruit fly pressure stays steady year-round at Stutz food tenants. Planning service against that rhythm is how we keep Chatham Arch operators ahead of issues — not reacting to gallery-opening or shoot-day discoveries.

Why ProTech

What Chatham Arch operators get with us — and don't get with national chains.

01

100% Commercial

No residential side-jobs. Every hour of our week is commercial pest management — so the judgment calls on Stutz tenant cascades, B&B guest-aware treatment, and walk-up stack coordination are built for Chatham Arch operators, not homeowners.

02

Built for the Stutz

We've mapped the Stutz floor by floor, tenant by tenant. We know which stacks share plumbing, where the HVAC returns come through, and which floors have had historical pressure. National chains send a different tech every visit who has to start from scratch.

03

Aprehend® Bed Bug Specialist

We carry one of the few active Aprehend® certifications in the Indy metro. For Chatham Arch B&Bs, STRs, and walk-up landlords who can't evacuate a unit for 48-hour heat, this matters more than anything else on the menu.

04

Discreet, Client-Aware Service

We schedule around gallery openings, photo shoots, B&B bookings, and client meetings. Our service vehicles are low-key. Your clients won't see us treating — they'll just see a clean space.

05

No Subcontractors

Every Chatham Arch 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.

06

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 inside a building the complexity of the Stutz.

Our Process

How we protect your Chatham Arch business.

01

On-Site Inspection

We walk your space — studio floor, inventory, kitchen (if applicable), basement, roof access, shared walls with adjacent tenants. For Stutz tenants we also map the stack above and below you. Conducive-condition documentation specific to your space.

02

Custom Pest Plan

Treatment selection, service frequency, and reporting format built around your vertical, your client-facing schedule, your operating window, and the specific pressure your Chatham Arch address actually faces.

03

Targeted Treatment

Low-toxicity, targeted products in the right places — not fogged across a gallery or a photo studio. Scheduled around your client calendar, not ours.

04

Monitoring & Reporting

Ongoing monitoring stations, every-visit documentation, trend tracking, and Marion County Health Department-ready reports. For Stutz tenants we also flag building-wide cascade risk so you can coordinate with neighbors if needed.

What Chatham Arch Operators Say

Commercial operators across the district.

★★★★★
We run a photo studio in the Stutz and had mouse droppings show up on seamless paper two days before a major commercial shoot. ProTech was on-site within hours, tracked the entry point to a conduit penetration in the floor above us, and we shot clean the next morning. That's the difference between a local commercial team and a call center.
Studio Owner
The Stutz — Photo Studio
★★★★★
We had a bed bug report in one of our B&B rooms with a booking check-in the next day. ProTech ran Aprehend® overnight, documented treatment for our insurance file, and the guest checked into a clean room with zero delay. Critical responsiveness for hospitality.
Owner
Park Avenue B&B
★★★★★
Three creative tenants above us on our Stutz floor had started seeing German roaches in their galley kitchens. ProTech coordinated treatment across all four units in one visit, caught the cascade before it hit us, and mapped where the pressure was moving. Nobody else we've worked with thinks like that.

Frequently Asked

Commercial pest questions — Chatham Arch edition.

We're a tenant in the Stutz Business Center. Do you service individual floors, or do we need the building to hire you?
Both work, but most Stutz tenants hire us directly for their own unit — photographers, designers, creative agencies, small-batch manufacturers, and gallery operators each maintain their own commercial pest program. The advantage of our model is that we already know the Stutz: we've serviced multiple floors, we know which plumbing stacks share between tenants, and we'll flag building-wide pressure in your reports so you can raise it with management. If the building ever does coordinate a unified program, we can scale to that too — but you don't need to wait.
We run a B&B on Park Avenue with only four rooms. Do we need a monthly pest program?
Most small Chatham Arch B&Bs are well-served by a quarterly IPM program plus an on-call emergency response agreement, not full monthly service. What matters is having documented Aprehend®-certified bed bug response ready in under 24 hours — because a single bed bug report at a four-room B&B can kill your booking pipeline. We'll set you up with quarterly preventive service, stored-product pest monitoring in the kitchen, carpenter ant monitoring in the original wood framing, and a same-day response agreement for bed bug calls. Most B&Bs in the district run this exact structure.
Why do galleries and creative studios need pest programs? We don't have food.
Food isn't the only pest driver — and in Chatham Arch creative spaces, it's usually not even the main one. Mouse pressure in century-old brick comes in regardless of food. Stored-product pests colonize paper, fabric, canvas, and any organic inventory. Carpenter ants exploit moisture in original wood framing. Gallery openings with catered food create acute fly and ant pressure that needs pre-event treatment. And nothing kills a photo shoot or a gallery opening faster than visible pest activity. We run IPM programs specifically for creative tenants — prevention-first, low-toxicity, client-aware scheduling.
Can you work around gallery opening nights and photo shoot days?
Yes — this is core to how we operate in Chatham Arch. Galleries typically get pre-event treatment 24-48 hours before opening night (pest-free walkthrough documented for insurance), then standard monthly or bi-monthly service scheduled on non-event weekday mornings. Photo studios get service pre-dawn or post-shoot. Most studios give us a shared calendar so we can see blackout windows. We're a small enough team that we actually accommodate the schedule — not promise it and send a tech the wrong day.
Our walk-up flat above the gallery has carpenter ants coming out of the window frame. Is that a structural problem?
Carpenter ants in original pre-war wood framing almost always indicate one of two things: moisture damage in the wood (from old roof flashing, masonry wicking, or window caulk failure) or a satellite colony from an outdoor parent nest — usually a tree within 100 feet of the building. We diagnose which before treating. Bait-only treatments on a moisture-damage colony don't hold — you have to address the water source. For most Chatham Arch walk-ups the full fix is inspection, moisture source remediation, and targeted injection into the galleries. We document everything for the landlord if that's needed.
Do you handle stored product pests for Stutz fashion and food tenants?
Yes. Fashion-designer Stutz tenants storing fabric bolts see carpet beetle and webbing clothes moth pressure — particularly on wool, cashmere, and silk inventory. Small-batch food and beverage tenants see Indian meal moth in dry goods and cigarette beetles in coffee, tobacco, and spice inventory. We run inventory-walk inspections as part of our IPM, treat with insect growth regulators and pheromone monitoring traps, and document stored-product pest pressure separately from general pest findings. Critical for makers whose inventory value exceeds most commercial pest thresholds.
We host weddings and corporate events in a converted Chatham Arch mansion. How do you handle event-day pest prevention?
Event-space operators in the district get a three-part program from us: baseline monthly IPM for interior and exterior, pre-event walkthroughs scheduled 24-48 hours before major bookings (wedding weekends, corporate galas, rehearsal dinners), and seasonal exterior treatment for yellowjackets and carpenter ants on the property perimeter. Everything is documented for insurance and liability purposes — including pest-free certification for the event date if the contract requires it. For high-value bookings this documentation alone justifies the program.
