Q: How does treatment work?
A: We offer both exterior and interior treatments that involve different applications.
Most exterior treatments include both a liquid and granule treatment to address the present pest problem as well as prevent them from coming back (for a time). (There is no “silver bullet” for providing a single pest control treatment that lasts forever. Regular treatments are recommended for long term control and prevention.)
Interior treatments typically include a liquid application. Baits can also be used in some instances based on the type and severity of the pest problem.
Q: Can't I treat my pest problem myself?
A: You can. But...
Some home improvement store pest control products use the same active ingredients that professional pest control operators use. There are two big differences, however, in what you can buy at a store and what a professional pest operator can use: Quantity and Quality.
- Quantity (active ingredient percentage): Chemical producers are allowed to sell their products to the general public only up to a certain percentage of active ingredient. Professional pest control operators are professionally and commercially licensed to both use and apply pest control products that have a higher concentration of active ingredient. Used correctly, this allows for a more effective treatment.
- Quality: While some home improvement store pest control products have certain pests on their advertised label, that doesn’t mean it’s the best product (active ingredient percentage or active ingredient type) for your specific pest. Professional pest control operators go to great lengths to find the products that work best for each pest control issue they face.
