How do I know if I need professional pest management services?

If you’ve noticed even a few ants, cockroaches, silverfish or other insects inside your home it’s time to consult a professional. The reason is that most of these critters are social in nature and have lots of friends! Their friends are your worst nightmare if left unchecked.

I’m worried about chemicals inside my home as I have children and pets. What about my situation?

Each property is unique but we treat all of our clients the same when it comes to their safety. We strive to learn as much about your particular concerns before treatment and design a plan around those needs. We are professionals and strive to minimize the amount of chemical exposure on each and every account from the elimination of a harborage to pest specific baits we have a plan for virtually any pest situation.

We always recommend staying off a treated area until it has dried for the 1 st time. This goes for all persons & pets.

I seem to have a lot of different pest problems at my home. Do you have a solution for me?

Yes! As we stated earlier each property is unique and we will design a solution just for you.

Do I need to leave my home while you perform the treatment?

It depends! If the treatment is for fleas, mites, bedbugs, spiders or ticks we may ask you to stay out for 2 – 3 hours. If the treatment is for rodents, roaches, termites, ants or just about anything else you can probably continue as usual.

I can’t stand the odor of chemicals. Can you do something for me?

Yes! Just let us know your concern and we’ll make provisions to perform a low to no-odor treatment at your property.

What pesticides do you use?

The list of materials is too large to list here. All of our materials are approved by the Texas Department of Agriculture and registered with the Environmental Protection Agency. Many of the materials we use are unavailable to the untrained professional and require a state license to purchase.

Why do I want the Quarterly Exterior Maintenance?

This service plan produces less chemical exposure to the occupants of the home and virtually eliminates the need for you to schedule a service appointment. We can control approximately 95% of your pest problem from the outside of your home.

Is there a guarantee with your service?

Yes! The period of the warranty will depend on the pest we are treating for and the program you sign up for. However, the general rule is that if you have a live pest infestation during a paid service cycle, we will return to retreat at no additional charge to you.
