How come I see more bugs after my pest control service service?In some cases, customers may see an increase in bug activity after we perform a treatment. This is because the chemical products are working and pushing the insects out of their hiding places.

How long does pest control last?We get this question a lot, and it is a fair question since you are paying good money for our professional service. Unfortunately, there is no striaght forward answer. The effective length of a service is dependant on serveral factors, including type of pests, weather, sprinkler watering patterns, and even the amount of sun on your home (sunlight breaks down chemicals.) When deciding which service frequency is best for your home, here is our advice: - Monthly service will get you the best results because we are putting down new chemical before previous treatment can be broken down by the elements. - Bi-monthly service gets you the best value for you money since it offers some savings, but keep in mind that by the time your next treatment is due the previous treatment may have already been washed away or made ineffective by the elements. - Quareterly service is the most economical, but any product used is most likely been made ineffective by the elements and you may see insects before your next scheduled service. If, you are still unsure of what service frequency you would like, give us a call and we would love to have the oppotunity to help you decide which service option may be best for you home or facility.
