Question 1

What's the difference between pest control and a pest inspection?

Accepted Answer

Pest control treats problems you already have (or want to prevent) on a recurring schedule. A pest inspection is a one-time, documented walkthrough to find out what's going on before you commit to any treatment — often used by homebuyers, sellers, or homeowners who just want a clear picture first.

Question 2

Do I need to leave the house during a pest control treatment?

Accepted Answer

For a standard interior and perimeter treatment, no — most products are applied to targeted areas like baseboards, entry points, and the foundation line and dry quickly. Your technician will tell you if a specific product used for your situation calls for a short wait before re-entering a treated room.

Question 3

Is pest control safe for pets and kids?

Accepted Answer

Licensed technicians use EPA-registered products applied according to label instructions, which are tested for safety in and around homes with children and pets. Tell your technician about any pets or family members with sensitivities beforehand so they can choose products and application areas accordingly.

Question 4

What happens if pests come back between scheduled visits?

Accepted Answer

Most companies offer a re-service guarantee between regular visits at no extra charge if you're seeing continued activity — ask about this specifically before signing up, since coverage terms vary by company.
