While many homeowners are caught unaware by termites, it is possible for you to detect infestations before extensive damage has occurred. Learn more about the early warning signs of termite infestation to ensure your home is protected.
Is there anything I can do to help prevent pests in my home?
After your home is inspected during your service, your service professional may provide you with recommendations for correcting conditions that may contribute to pest infestations. For example, your bushes may need to be trimmed away from the house. There may be cracks around the windows and doors that need to be sealed. Making these modifications will help prevent new infestations. Feel free to contact us today for a free quote!
What should I look for in choosing a pest control company?
There are a number of factors that may differentiate pest control companies from one another. Following are some general guidelines for choosing a pest control company:
- What services are offered?
- How are these services performed?
- What products are used?
- What types of guarantees are offered?
- Are the employees State Certified and highly trained?
When shopping around, it’s obvious how much companies differ. Don’t base your decision solely on price or name recognition. Talk with your neighbors and check with your state’s licensing board to ensure the companies you’re considering are properly licensed. If we can answer any questions to help you make the best decision for you and your family, please don’t hesitate to call.
If it rains, will outside treatment materials wash away?
Once a liquid residual product has dried following application, the solvents and emulsifiers evaporate leaving a durable residual that adheres to surfaces and is resistant to being washed away by rain.
Will I still see pests after my initial service? Why can’t you just come out once and get rid of all my pests?
Once pests are sighted, it may be an indication that the population has grown out of control. When one pest is seen, it is usually a clue that the infestation is large enough for pests to seek new nesting sites or food sources. The initial service is designed to flush out pests currently present in and around your home. The products used have the benefit of a long residual, meaning that the products will remain on the surfaces (invisible and odorless) where pests will continue to come in contact with them long after application.
The number of pests will greatly drop after the initial service and dead pests will be seen shortly after application demonstrating the effectiveness of the products, however; this process will continue for several weeks after the initial service as the pests continue to be flushed out. Of course, after the original infestation has been eliminated, pests will continue to enter your home in search of sources of food and water, and an occasional sighting may occur. This emphasizes the importance of regular follow-up services to maintain the exterior barrier and prevent entrance to your home.
