Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pest Control Services in Short Pump
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes, of course! Your safety is our top priority. We use products and application methods that are designed to be effective and produce results, while also being safe for humans, pets, and the environment when used as directed. Our technicians are trained to apply treatments with care and responsibility.
How long does the treatment take?
A typical liquid Termidor application or Sentricon installation takes 2–6 hours, depending on your home’s size, construction type, and the extent of the infestation. We’ll provide a more accurate timeframe after the inspection.
How long should I wait before my kids/pets go back outside after treatment?
We recommend waiting at least 30–60 minutes or until the treated areas are completely dry before allowing children or pets back outside. Dry time can vary based on weather conditions like temperature and humidity. This ensures the product has settled and reduces the risk of contact.
How long will it take before I stop seeing pests after you’ve done the service?
It’s normal to see some pest activity for a few days to up to two weeks after treatment. This is because pests are being flushed out of their hiding places. You should notice a significant reduction within that period. If you continue to see activity beyond the expected window, we offer a 30-day follow-up service as part of your plan.
Do I need to leave my house during treatment?
Nope! For most general pest control treatments, you do not need to leave your home. Our products are applied carefully and in targeted areas, so you can go about your day with minimal disruption. If a specific treatment ever requires special precautions, we’ll let you know ahead of time.
Do you offer one-time treatments or recurring plans?
Yes, we offer both one-time treatments and recurring pest control plans. While a one-time service can be effective for addressing an immediate issue, we typically recommend recurring treatments for long-term protection. Most pests are persistent and tend to return without ongoing prevention. Our recurring plans are designed to keep your home protected year-round and stop infestations before they start!
Do you treat for pests inside and outside?
Yes, we treat both inside and outside your home. Typically, we start with an interior treatment to address any existing pest activity indoors. Once things are under control, we focus on regular perimeter treatments around the exterior of your home to keep bugs from getting back inside. If you ever notice activity indoors again, we’re happy to treat the inside as needed—but the goal of our recurring service is to stop pests before they ever make it in!
How do I know if I need professional pest control?
If you own a home—especially in an area with high pest activity—professional pest control is a smart investment. Even if you don’t see bugs regularly, pests often hide and breed in hard-to-reach places. A recurring pest control plan acts like insurance: it helps prevent issues before they start, and if a problem ever does pop up, you’ve got a pro ready to handle it right away. When you pay for professional pest control, you are truly paying for peace of mind.
How much does your pest control cost?
Pricing for pest control varies based on several factors, including the plan you choose, the size of your home, and the type of infestation (if any). Since every situation is unique, we provide custom quotes tailored to your needs. Just give us a call, and we’ll be happy to discuss your options and offer a personalized estimate which typically includes an initial fee and monthly or quarterly pricing for recurring plans.
What types of pests do you treat?
We treat a wide range of common household pests, including ants, spiders, cockroaches, silverfish, millipedes, crickets, earwigs, and more. Our general pest control services are designed to target the bugs you're most likely to regularly encounter in and around your home.
