Pest Control and Tree Service

Do I need to leave when you’re treating my home?

• No, however we request you remain indoors while the outside of your home is being treated. Due to product drifting with our high pressure system.

 

​

Do you need to retreat outside areas if it rains?

• Only if the exterior product doesn’t get time to dry after application. Dry time is 30-60 minutes depending on temperatures.

 

​

How frequently should my home be serviced?

• We recommend servicing 3-4 times per year (April-October). Winter service is not recommended if a Fall application has been done.

 

​

Why do you recommend winter treatments? Do I need a winter treatment?

• Only if the Fall application has been skipped or the target insect requires monthly service, your technician will determine this.

 

​

Don’t all the bugs die off from the winter cold?

• No. Insects can survive indoors all year round.

 

​

When is it ok to quit regular pest control?

• It is never recommended to stop applications all together due to product residual breakdown. Generally, 30-90 days is the length of residual.
