General questions
What types of pests do you treat?
We provide pest control solutions for ants, spiders, cockroaches, termites, rodents, bed bugs, fleas, wasps, and more. We also offer wildlife removal for certain animals.
How do I know if I have a pest problem?
Signs of a pest infestation include droppings, gnawed wires or furniture, holes in walls, unusual odors, or actual sightings of pests. If you suspect a problem, we can perform an inspection.
Are your treatments safe for children and pets?
We work with the homeowner to design the safest plan of attack. No pesticides are totally safe and can be considered to be non-toxic. We offer eco-friendly treatments. Our technicians incorporate the practice of Integrated Pest Management into our treatment plans and comply with all EPA regulations
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
You do not need to leave your home for most general pest control treatments. However, temporary evacuation may be necessary for fumigation or specific chemical applications.
How long does a pest control treatment take?
A typical treatment can take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of the property and the severity of the infestation.
How soon will I see results?
Many treatments show immediate results, but some pests (like cockroaches and bed bugs) may require multiple treatments for complete elimination.
How often should I schedule pest control services?
We recommend bi-monthly or quarterly treatments for prevention. Severe infestations may require monthly treatments until the issue is fully resolved.

Yes! We offer same-day and emergency services whenever possible. Contact us at [email protected] for urgent requests.

Treatment & Effectiveness
What if pests return after treatment?
If pests return between your regular scheduled visits, we’ll re-treat your home at no extra cost.
How do your treatments work?
Our treatment methods are designed to create a protective barrier around your home from insects. Our technicians at every service will do a thorough inspection to identify conducive conditions and prevent infestations. Our treatments are custom to your needs and will change throughout the year depending on the seasons to control pests.
Will I still see pests after treatment?
Yes, it’s common to see increased pest activity immediately after treatment, as pests are driven out of hiding. This should decrease within a few days.
Do you use eco-friendly pest control solutions?
Yes! We offer eco-friendly and low-impact treatments for your family and the environment.
Do you remove dead pests after treatment?
We offer removal services for larger pests like rodents or wildlife. Small pests usually decompose naturally but can be removed upon request.
