Nora's Commercial Pest Control Specialists
From the Trader Joe's-anchored strip at 86th & College to Nora Plaza, the dental and medical clinics along Westfield Boulevard, and the salons and boutique fitness studios that fill every walkable block — we service the operators who actually keep Nora running.
- ✓ Licensed & Insured
- ✓ Marion County Technicians
- ✓ Aprehend® Certified
- ✓ 100% Commercial Focus
We service 86th, College, and Westfield — strip by strip, suite by suite.
Nora is one of Indianapolis's most established walkable commercial pockets. The 86th & College node — anchored by Trader Joe's, Nora Plaza, and the Nora Corners retail strip — packs grocery, restaurants, banks, and specialty retail into a few dense blocks. Westfield Boulevard adds dental and medical clinics, chiropractors, and professional offices. College Avenue runs salons, hair studios, nail bars, and boutique fitness north from 86th. Every one of those operators shares dumpster corrals, loading zones, and mechanical walls with their neighbors — which means pest pressure is never really a single-suite problem in Nora.
ProTech was built for exactly this kind of shared-infrastructure retail. We manage grocery-dumpster rodent pressure at the anchor tenants, coordinate German roach treatment across shared-wall restaurants in the strip centers, handle pharaoh ant work in the dental and medical clinics without disrupting patient flow, and run discreet bed bug response for the salons and medical employee break rooms where occasional carry-in events happen. We know which strips have chronic drain fly issues at the restaurant end and which ones just need quarterly preventative service.
We're a small, owner-operated commercial-only team. Your Nora suite 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 Nora's actual commercial mix.
Grocery, retail strips, sit-down restaurants, dental and medical, salons, daycare, boutique fitness, and professional offices. The verticals that define walkable Nora are the ones we service every week.
Trader Joe's-anchored strip, Nora Plaza, Nora Corners. Loading-dock rodent exclusion, stored-product moth programs, and back-of-house IPM.
Nora Cafe area, the 86th Street sit-down corridor, and quick-service tenants in every strip. German roach gel baiting and drain fly source-tracing in shared-wall kitchens.
Westfield Boulevard dental offices, outpatient medical, chiropractic, and dermatology suites. Non-repellent pharaoh ant baiting and low-toxicity IPM for patient-facing operations.
Community banks and credit unions at 86th & College. After-hours service that keeps lobbies clean and never disrupts customer hours.
College Avenue salons, nail bars, blow-dry studios. Discreet ant and pantry-pest programs that never intrude on clients on the floor.
Yoga, pilates, cycling, and personal-training studios. Low-toxicity IPM scheduled around class times and locker-room use.
Nora daycare centers and preschools. Indiana Pesticide Review Board-aware protocols, low-toxicity product selection, and service scheduled around pickup hours.
Accounting, law, insurance, and real estate offices along Westfield and 86th. Quarterly preventative IPM with tenant-friendly reporting.
We service every commercial vertical in the Nora pocket — coffee shops, bakeries, pet stores, veterinary clinics, physical therapy, wine and liquor, specialty retail, and mixed-use tenants. If you operate a commercial suite between 82nd and 91st on the north-side walkable corridor, we can help.
Every commercial pest service Nora operators need.
All commercial — no residential side-jobs. So when a mouse shows up in a dental break room or drain flies surface the morning of an audit, 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 Nora salons, medical clinics, and dental offices where a carry-in event in a staff break room or waiting area can't mean shutting down the suite. We treat discreetly and the suite stays open.
- ✓No suite evacuation required
- ✓Kills eggs + adult bed bugs
- ✓Protection lasts up to 3 months
- ✓Discreet for staff, patients, and clients

Pest pressure for the 86th & College commercial pocket — what we see on service calls, by vertical and by corridor.
Grocery and multi-tenant strip dumpsters are the top rodent driver in Nora. Shared dumpster corrals mean one neglected operator pulls rats into every suite on the strip. Exterior baiting has to be coordinated at the corral, not per-suite.
Nora restaurants stacked into strip centers share mechanical chases with their neighbors. When one kitchen lets service lapse, roaches migrate suite to suite through pipe penetrations. Coordinated multi-tenant gel baiting is the only real fix.
Pharaoh ants are the #1 ant call from Nora dental and medical. They love the warm, moist conditions around sterilization equipment and break rooms. Wrong product fragments the colony into dozens of new ones — non-repellent baiting is mandatory.
Nora's sit-down restaurants and specialty cafes generate consistent drain fly calls — biofilm in floor drains and wellpipes is almost always the source. Fruit flies peak around the Trader Joe's produce zone in late summer.
Nora sees a steady trickle of carry-in bed bug events — staff break rooms, salon shampoo stations, daycare cubbies. Aprehend® means we can treat the suite without closing the doors or moving furniture out.
OHAs are the dominant ant species in Nora non-healthcare commercial. They form supercolonies — wrong product fragments them and makes things worse. Non-repellent baiting that follows the trail back to the nest.
Indian meal moth and saw-toothed grain beetles are recurring at the Nora grocery anchor and specialty dry-goods retailers. Pheromone monitoring plus targeted IGR programs clear them.
Loafing and roosting on awnings, sign faces, and rooflines drives sanitation complaints and customer-walkway droppings. Exclusion spikes and netting beat sound deterrents long-term.
Nora's pest calendar runs rodent-heavy October through February as populations move indoors from the residential surroundings and push into retail dumpster corrals, cockroach pressure stays year-round in the strip-stacked restaurant kitchens, pharaoh ant calls from dental and medical peak April through September, and stored-product moth activity climbs in late summer as grocery and specialty-retail dry goods turn over. We plan service against that rhythm so operators stay ahead of issues instead of reacting to them.
What Nora 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 shared dumpster corrals, dental break rooms, and strip-wall roach migration are built for Nora operators, not homeowners.
Strip-Center Coordination
We treat your suite, but we think about the strip. When a neighbor's kitchen is the source of your roach problem, we say so and coordinate treatment with the property manager. National chains just keep billing your suite.
Aprehend® Bed Bug Specialist
We carry one of the few active Aprehend® certifications in the Indy metro. For Nora salons, medical clinics, and daycares that need discreet bed bug elimination without suite downtime, this matters.
Dental & Medical-Safe Protocols
Pharaoh ant and roach work in patient-facing suites demands non-repellent product selection and low-toxicity IPM. We service Westfield Boulevard clinics with protocols that pass state health and licensure-board scrutiny.
No Subcontractors
Every Nora 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 Nora business.
On-Site Inspection
We walk your suite — back-of-house, dumpster corral, loading approach, mechanical wall, plumbing penetrations, sign-board and awning harborage. Map conducive conditions specific to your Nora strip or standalone.
Custom Pest Plan
Treatment selection, service frequency, and reporting format built around your vertical, your strip-center neighbors, and the specific pressure your Nora address actually faces.
Targeted Treatment
Low-toxicity, targeted products in the right places — not fogged across your suite. Scheduled around your client hours and after-close windows.
Monitoring & Reporting
Ongoing monitoring stations, every-visit documentation, trend tracking, and Marion County Public Health Department-ready reports. You always know what we did and why.
Commercial operators across the 86th & College pocket.
We share a wall with two other tenants and a roach issue kept bouncing back every month. ProTech pulled the property manager in, coordinated treatment across all three suites, and we've been clear for eight months running. That's something our previous company never even suggested.
Our dental office had pharaoh ants showing up around the sterilizer sink. The previous pest company kept spraying and it kept coming back worse. ProTech switched us to non-repellent bait, tracked the colony back to a wall void, and cleared it in six weeks. Professional and patient-aware the whole time.
We had a bed bug scare in our salon break room right before a busy weekend. ProTech was on-site same-day with Aprehend®, treated discreetly, and we never closed the floor. Nobody knew anything happened. That's exactly what we needed.
