Common Questions About Service-Related Inquiries
Do you charge for estimates?
No, we offer free estimates at no charge.
We take pride in providing competitive, affordable pricing and exceptional service, so there’s no hard sell. We’re confident you’ll choose us based on the value and quality we offer!
How soon can I get a treatment scheduled?
Scheduling depends on the type of job and the time of year.
- Stinging insect issues are treated as emergencies, and we aim to schedule those on the same day.
- General pest control services are typically scheduled within two to three days.
- Termite treatments are usually arranged within a week.
Please note that outdoor jobs, such as Pro Shield applications or termite treatments, require dry weather, so they may be rescheduled if wet conditions occur.
Why are follow-up treatments necessary?
Follow-up treatments address the breeding cycle of pests. While the initial treatment kills visible bugs, it doesn’t affect unhatched eggs. Once these eggs hatch, they can continue the infestation cycle if not treated promptly.
Follow-up visits ensure we eliminate new pests before they lay additional eggs, breaking the cycle and providing long-term pest control.
Why should I use professional pest control instead of doing it myself?
While over-the-counter pest control products are readily available for homeowners, they often contain milder chemicals designed for general use.
Professional pest control companies, on the other hand, have access to stronger, more effective chemicals that aren’t available to the public. These professional-grade treatments come with a Safety Data Sheet to ensure safe application and handling.
Additionally, many of the commercial-grade aerosols used by professionals can cost over $30 each, making professional services a cost-effective, affordable, and efficient solution for serious pest problems.
Why should I choose a local pest control company over a large one?
Supporting a local company means investing in your community. Local businesses like ours contribute to the local economy, supporting families and other local enterprises.
We treat every client like family, offering personalized service and attention that larger companies often can’t match.
By keeping our operating costs low, we’re able to provide you with exceptional value for money and service that truly cares about your needs.
Why do I need a warranty for pest control services?
A warranty provides peace of mind by ensuring that if the treated pests reappear within a specified period, we will return and retreat your property at no additional cost. This guarantee ensures that you’re fully protected and satisfied with our service, offering ongoing protection against persistent pests without any extra charges.
Do I need a termite warranty?
Even with the best termite treatments available, there’s always a chance that a colony could reappear, requiring a retreatment that can be costly.
A termite warranty not only covers these potential expenses but also includes an annual termite inspection to ensure your property remains protected. If any termite activity is detected during these inspections, the retreatment is completely covered, saving you from unexpected costs.
A termite warranty is a valuable investment for long-term peace of mind and protection.
Why do you ask for reviews?
Reviews are crucial for our online presence. They signal to search engines like Google that we are active and delivering quality service. Positive reviews help improve our search rankings, making it easier for others to find us when they search for pest control services.
Your feedback not only supports our business but also helps others make informed decisions.
Common Questions About Pest Control Products
How long does it take for pesticide sprays to dry?
Most non-aerosol pesticide sprays are water-based and dry quickly, making them safe within short periods of time.
- Indoor applications typically dry to the touch within 10 – 15 minutes, though sometimes may take up to 30 minutes.
- Outdoor sprays (including ProShield) dry in about 30 minutes on a sunny day. On damp days, drying can take up to 60 minutes.
Are pesticide sprays safe around pets or children?
Most pesticide sprays are safe once they have dried. It’s important to prevent pets from licking treated surfaces excessively.
For added peace of mind, we offer a selection of eco-friendly and pet-safe pesticides made from herbs like lavender, mint, and a botanical blend, providing effective pest control without compromising the safety of your loved ones.
How can I find out which chemicals were used for my treatment?
The chemicals used in your treatment are detailed on your invoice. It includes links to the product labels and the manufacturer’s safety data sheets for your reference. This ensures you have all the information you need about the treatments applied.
Common Questions About Specific Pests
Do poisoned mice affect other animals?
Traditional rodent baits can pose risks to other wildlife, as they may kill not only the mouse but also any bird or predator that consumes it.
We offer a rodent bait designed to limit the impact to just the rodent, ensuring that animals such as cats or birds that might eat a poisoned mouse experience minimal effects, typically feeling unwell for a day or two but surviving. This targeted approach helps protect the broader ecosystem.
How should I prepare for a flea treatment?
Effective flea eradication requires your cooperation. To ensure a thorough treatment, please provide full access to all flooring in your home, as fleas primarily travel through these areas. Proper preparation helps maximize the effectiveness of the treatment, saving you both time and money.
What's the best termite treatment?
When it comes to termite treatments, there are 3 main options: Taurus, Termidor, and Trelona.
- Taurus and Termidor are both highly effective at eradicating termites by creating a chemical barrier that poisons them.
- Trelona Stations (bait stations) use an attractant to lure termites to the bait.
While both methods work equally well (chemical vs bait) in eliminating termites, Trelona Stations offer a more eco-friendly alternative and are less expensive to install. However, they do require annual maintenance to ensure continued effectiveness.
