Pest Control Service FAQ

How often should I get pest control?

For most homes, quarterly treatments provide effective year-round protection. Homes in high-pest areas (warm climates, near wooded areas) may benefit from bi-monthly service. A one-time treatment works for acute infestations but won't prevent future problems.

Are pest control chemicals safe for pets and children?

Modern pest control products used by licensed professionals are EPA-registered and applied in targeted amounts. Most treatments are safe for pets and children once dry (usually 1–2 hours). Your technician will advise on any precautions for specific products.

How long until I see results?

Most treatments begin working within 24–48 hours, with a noticeable reduction in pest activity within 1–2 weeks. Some pests like bed bugs may require 2–3 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart for full eradication.
