No, our Service Pros are not obligated to go into yards with dogs and we recommend pets do not have access to treated areas until the products are dry which takes 30-90 minutes.

Our products last up to 90 days, so in order to ensure your home is protected year round, seasonal services are necessary as maintenance. We don’t want to wait until you see a pest to proactively protect your home.

Lists of our covered pests is linked here, as well as common pests we do not treat for (i.e. wood boring organisms termites, carpenter bees, carpenter ants, flying pests like gnats and flies, the egg or larval stage of any bugs, wildlife like squirrels or lizards, carpet beetles, bedbugs, bees, etc.)

Your routine treatment is maintenance and can usually be completed within about 30 minutes. Your initial treatment and inspection will be anywhere from 45-90 minutes. 

The Service Pro will go around you home three times during the service, once using a long brush to sweep any wasp nests or spider webs from eaves up to 20-25 feet, once to apply product to the foundation of your home to block off any cracks and crevices that small crawlers can use as highways to enter your living space, and again inspecting and spot treating the yard up to 30 feet out for any anthills or other pests’s harborages.

All pest control treatments can only target the adult populations of pests at your home, so the first two treatments, the initial and your first follow-up, are 20-40 days apart to allow us to target the next generation, break the egg/nesting cycle, and set the home up to be protected year-round with seasonal maintenance.

Our service plan is exterior with interior upon request at no additional cost. The majority of our customers find that exterior maintenance keeps their home protected but we are happy to treat inside your home and/or garage whenever you would like.

For children under 2, pregnant, breathing difficulties out for two hours or for interior flea treatment for carpeted rooms we recommend vacating the home 2-3 hours.

If you are seeing pests right after your service, odds are you are witnessing the bugs flee your property! If after a week you are still seeing bugs give us a call and we will come back out.

All our products are water-activated. Treating in the rain does not affect the results unless there is any flooding or there is a torrential downpour. If these conditions are present, we will not complete the service or charge you and the appointment will be automatically rescheduled. If you the pests don’t go away we will come out for a reservice at no additional cost to you!

The initial treatment is a flushing treatment. While it can reduce activity levels, it also is meant to draw pests out of their harborage areas or hiding spots so we can target them more effectively at your subsequent treatment, which will be automatically scheduled 20-40 days after the initial.

No, we are not a rodent exclusion service and do not clean up rodent droppings. We do not cut into walls in order to target infestations within the walls of your home. We will utilize outdoor bait stations to draw rodents out and set traps in your home in strategic places which are likely to be high traffic areas for the rodents.

No, the company that installed the system retains proprietary rights to utilizing them.

All our products are pet and family friendly once dry, which can take 30-90 minutes. We recommend putting cats/dogs in a room that is not being treated or in their kennels for that time. Birds and fish require a bit more precaution, if you want the interior treated it is best if you can have the bird out of the home for 24 hours

We can treat the base of trees and gardens but will not treat around fruit or vegetable plants.

We cannot treat any closer than 30 feet to any body of water including pools and ponds, we cannot utilize granule (pellet) form treatment in yards with chickens, and we recommend keeping all pets off the lawn/treated areas until the liquid products have dried, which can take 30-90 minutes.
