Proudly Celebrating 30 Years of Service in Laredo, TX & Surrounding Areas!
1. Do I have to remove items from the pantry or cabinets?
Under most circumstances, moving your items is unnecessary. Our technicians are trained to apply treatments in a way that minimizes disruption to your household. If specific items need to be moved, we will inform you during the inspection.
*****************************************
2. Does the insecticide smell afterward?
The insecticide has no lingering odors. Modern insecticides are designed to be odorless or have very faint scents to ensure that your living space remains comfortable after the treatment.
*****************************************
3. Is the insecticide harmful?
Most insecticides that we use are labeled “caution,” indicating that they are the safest available to the pest control industry. These products are formulated to target pests while posing minimal risk to humans and pets when used as directed.
*****************************************
4. Can I sweep and mop after my house is fumigated?
Yes, this will not interfere with the insecticide. You can resume your regular cleaning routines, but we recommend avoiding vacuuming or mopping areas where treatments were applied for a minimum of 24 hours to ensure effectiveness.
*****************************************
5. How soon can I water after my yard is treated?
We recommend you wait overnight, but a few hours will suffice. This gives the treatment time to penetrate and adhere to the soil and plant surfaces for maximum efficacy.
*****************************************
6. How much would a pest control cost?
Please contact our office for more information. The cost of pest control services can vary depending on the type of pest, the extent of the infestation, and the size of the area that needs to be treated.
*****************************************
7. Do I have to move any furniture around while my house is being treated?
It is not necessary to move any furniture, but it is recommended. Moving furniture allows technicians to apply treatment more thoroughly and reach hidden pest habitats, ensuring complete extermination.
*****************************************
8. Do I have to contain my pet?
Pets must be contained for the duration of the service and for two hours afterward while the insecticide dries. This ensures their safety and prevents them from interfering with the application of treatments.
*****************************************
9. How often should I have a termite inspection?
We recommend annual termite inspections to catch any issues early. Termites can cause significant damage in a relatively short amount of time, so yearly inspections help ensure that any signs of an infestation are caught before they become severe. In areas where termites are particularly prevalent, bi-annual inspections may be advisable.
*****************************************
10. Are your residential pest control methods safe for children?
Yes, we use family-safe products and methods. Our treatments are designed to target pests specifically while being safe for children and pets. We use EPA-approved products and follow strict guidelines to ensure that our pest control methods do not pose any risk to your family’s health and safety.
*****************************************
11. How frequently should flea treatments be done?
It depends on the infestation; regular monthly treatments are recommended for severe cases. For less severe infestations or as a preventive measure, treatments every 3 months may be sufficient. Consistent treatment ensures that all life stages of fleas are targeted, preventing re-infestation.
*****************************************
12. What types of ants do you treat?
We treat various types of ants, including carpenter ants, fire ants, and more. Our services are designed to address common household ants as well as more challenging species.
