Q: How do pest control treatments work?
Our pest control treatment method is simple and straightforward. When you call us for help, we will assess to figure out what pests are troubling you. Then, we will use the right treatments to target and eliminate pests. Our methods may include sprays, traps, or more eco-friendly methods. For example, we may set up traps or seal entry points to stop mice from entering your property. For pests like ants and cockroaches, we might use baits to get them to take the treatment back to their colonies. Every treatment plan is customized to your situation. And, we will walk you through exactly what we are doing so you are in the loop.
Q: Is it safe for my pets and kids?
Absolutely, YES. We only use products that are safe for little ones and furry friends. Many of our treatments are non-toxic or have a minimal risk of harm if applied correctly. If we need to use something that might need extra precautions, do not worry. We will give you clear instructions on how to keep everyone safe. If you have any specific concerns, just let us know. We can adjust our treatment methods accordingly – your peace of mind is important to us.
Q: Do I need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Not much, but there is a little preparation work that you should do to ensure the process goes smoothly. We suggest:
- Clear the area: Move things like food, toys, or anything that might get in the way of the treatment. For example, if we are treating the kitchen, just make sure counters are clean and food is put away.
- Pets: If you have pets, we ask that you keep them away from the treatment areas during and shortly after the service. You can either move them to another room or take them outside for a bit.
- Access: Make sure we have access to the areas where pests are most active (like attics, basement, or kitchen). You do not need to do a deep clean, but it helps if we can get to the spots we need to treat without any hassle.
- Special instructions: If there is anything specific you want us to know (like a favorite hiding spot of those pesky ants), let us know ahead of time, so we can make sure we hit all the trouble spots.
We will walk you through the rest when we get there, but that is the basic prep! Do not worry – we will keep it as easy as possible for you.
Q: How long does it take for the treatment to work?
It depends on the type of pest and treatment we are using. But generally, you should start seeing results within a few days to a week. Some pests, like mosquitoes, might show a quicker reduction, while others, like bed bugs or rodents, might take a little longer for the full impact. We will keep you updated along the way and let you know when to expect full results. If you are not seeing the improvements you expected, do not hesitate to reach out – we will come back and take another look.
Q: How often should I schedule pest control?
That really depends on what you are dealing with. Some people just need a one-time treatment for a specific issue, while others might want ongoing treatments to keep things under control. For example, if you are dealing with ants or cockroaches, you might want regular visits to ensure they do not come back. If you have had a one-time problem (like a few mice in the attic), you might only need a couple of visits for peace of mind. We will work with you to create a plan that suits your needs – no pressure, just what makes sense for your home and situation.
Q: Will I need to leave the house during the treatment?
In most cases, you will not need to leave the house. We will let you know if there is a specific reason you should step out. For example, if we need to spray a treatment that might need a bit of time to dry. But generally, you are good to stay put. If we are doing something that requires more time, like sealing up entry points for rodents or wildlife, we will let you know in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Q: What if I still see pests after the treatment?
It happens sometimes, and we totally get how frustrating it can be. Pest control is not always a one-and-done deal, especially if you are dealing with something like a deep infestation or pests that are really tricky to get rid of. But do not worry – we have got your back. If you are still seeing pests after our treatment, just give us a call. We will come back, assess the situation, and tweak our approach to make sure we get things under control for you. Our job is not done until you are satisfied.
Q: Can I cancel or reschedule my appointment?
Of course! Life happens, and we get that plans change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, just give us a call or send us a message as soon as possible. We will work with you to find another time that fits your schedule. We try to be flexible and accommodating – we want to make this as easy as possible for you!
Q: Are the treatments safe for the environment?
Yes! We care about keeping your home safe, but we also care about the environment. We use eco-friendly products and methods whenever possible. Our goal is to get rid of pests without doing harm to your home, family, or the planet. If you have specific environmental concerns, let us know, and we can adjust our approach to meet your needs.
Q: What happens if the pests come back after treatment?
If the pests come back after treatment, we are not going to leave you hanging. Just reach out to us, and we will schedule a follow-up. Sometimes, especially with certain pests, a few treatments might be needed to fully resolve the issue. We will keep working until the problem is solved, no extra charge – that is just part of the deal. Your satisfaction is what matters to us, and we will make sure to take care of things.
