Frequently Asked Questions About Pest Control

  1. Can I get rid of the pests by myself?
    There are many methods you can use to discourage and eliminate pests. The basis of any pest control starts with improved sanitation and eliminating conditions favourable to the pest infestation. This may be enough to solve your problem, but there are times when more must be done to be pest free. This is when you should enlist the services of a qualified pest control professional.
  2. Are chemicals the only solution to my pest problem? Are they a health Risk?
    Chemicals are very rarely the only solution and can pose a health risk if not used properly. This is why it is essential to only deal with licensed, qualified professionals. Pesticide may be a part of the solution, but the objective is to achieve control with minimum risk or hazard to the customer and the environment.
  3. Will my house smell after the treatment?
    In most cases, there is little to no smell associated with the service.
  4. Do you offer any “green” or non-chemical treatments?
    We offer a variety of green programs that take a preventive approach toward pest control, thus significantly reducing the need for pesticides.
  5. Are the treatments harmful to my children or pets?
    All products used in our treatments are EPA registered, and when used according to the label pose little to no risk. Furthermore, all products selected for indoor use by our company fall into the caution category, which is the EPA’s lowest risk category.
  6. How long will the service visit take?
    The length of the service will vary depending on the pest and level of infestation, but typically the service takes about 30 minutes to an hour.
  7. Will my family have to leave home during the treatment?
    On most instance no, but it depends on the pest and level of infestation.
  8. When can I expect to see results?
    We typically ask that you give the treatment 14 days, but there are situations where the results may be immediate.
  9. Will you have to come more that once?
    It will depend on the pest we are dealing with as well as the level of infestation.
  10. Do you guarantee your work?
    We believe that quality counts; therefore, we warranty most programs.
