FAQ
-
What types of pests do you treat?
We handle everything from ants, cockroaches, rodents, termites, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, wasps, spiders, moles and more.
-
How do I know if I have a pest infestation?
Common signs include droppings, live or dead pests, strange odors, scratching sounds in walls, damaged wood or wires, and bite marks (e.g., bed bugs). Call us for a free inspection or setting up your service to make your home pest-free again.
-
How does pest control work?
We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM)—inspections, identifying pests, targeting treatment (baits, traps, targeted sprays), sealing entry points, and follow-up visits. IPM is sustainable and minimizes chemical use.
-
Are the treatments safe for my family and pets?
Yes—modern pest control products (EPA-approved or green options) are safe when used as directed. Technicians follow best practices and advise on re-entry times. Our monthly and quarterly service programs are designed to create a strong exterior barrier, reducing the need for interior treatments in your home or business.
-
How long does it take to see results?
Some pests respond quickly, but others (like termites or ants) might take days or weeks of treatment. We provide realistic timelines and free follow-up service for our monthly&quarterly customers if pests persist.
-
How much does pest control cost?
Costs vary based on pest type, infestation severity, property size, and treatment frequency. We offer free estimates, and annual contract plans often save money versus one-time treatments.
-
How often should I schedule treatment?
Pest control products are highly effective—but they don’t last forever. Over time, environmental factors such as sunlight (UV rays), rain, wind, and temperature changes naturally break down the protective barrier that pest control treatments create around your home or business.
That’s why we recommend monthly or quarterly service programs. These regular treatments help maintain a strong, consistent barrier to keep pests out—before they have a chance to get in.
Without routine service, pests like ants, spiders, cockroaches, and wasps can find new entry points once the original treatment wears off. By staying ahead of pest activity with scheduled visits, you’ll reduce the need for interior treatments, avoid infestations, and keep your property protected year-round. Active infestations may require additional follow-ups.
-
Can I prevent pest problems myself?
Yes—maintain cleanliness, seal gaps, remove food sources, reduce moisture, trim yard vegetation, and fix leaks. Though DIY helps, professional IPM is best for lasting results.
-
What health risks are associated with pests?
Rodents can transmit Hantavirus; cockroaches can spread Salmonella, E. coli; mosquitoes and ticks can carry West Nile Virus, dengue, Lyme disease. Officials have confirmed a mosquito pool collected in Tazewell County has tested positive for West Nile virus in June 2025. Professional control reduces health hazards.
-
Why hire a professional instead of DIY?
Pros have training, effective products, targeted application, and long-term prevention expertise. DIY methods (e.g., bug bombs or sprays) often fail to reach hidden pests and carry safety risks.
