PEST CONTROL FAQS


  • How Do I Know I Have Termites?

    It is not always the most apparent that you have termites on your property. Some signs that indicate you may have them include difficulty opening windows, damage under wallpaper, termite droppings, and sawdust-like material around your home.

  • How Can I Prevent Termites?

    Termites are a concern across the United States for homeowners. Some simple steps you can take to prevent an infestation include reducing wood-to-ground contact, diverting moisture away from your foundation, reducing moisture in crawlspaces, and not storing firewood against the side of your home.

  • Are Bedbugs Just in Beds?

    Despite being named bedbugs, they are not only found in beds. They can be found in wallpaper, couches, drawer joints, and folds of curtains.

  • How Long Does Pest Control Take?

    It depends on the pest issue you are having, the level of any infestation, and where they are hiding. In general, most treatments are completed within 30 minutes. However, it can take up to 8 hours depending on the severity of the problem and the type of treatment needed.

  • Should I Pay for Preventative Pest Control Services?

    Absolutely. The best treatment plan is the prevention of infestations. It can be much more cost-effective to prevent an infestation vs having to get rid of pests that have taken over your property. The peace of mind it offers is also an added benefit.

  • What Pests Do You Treat?

    We handle a wide range of common pests including ants, spiders, roaches, termites, rodents (like mice and rats), bees, and more. If you’re unsure what type of pest you’re dealing with, just send us a photo or give us a call — we’ll help identify it.

  • Are Your Treatments Safe for My Family and Pets?

    Yes. We use EPA-approved products applied by trained professionals. These products are targeted to minimize exposure while effectively controlling pests. We may recommend keeping kids and pets away from treated areas until products have settled for maximum safety.

  • Do I Need to Leave My Home During Treatment?
