Are pest control treatments safe for pets and children?

Yes, when applied correctly by licensed professionals. Reputable exterminators use products approved by regulatory bodies and will instruct you on safety protocols. This typically includes keeping children and pets away from treated areas until sprays have completely dried, or temporarily leaving the property during intensive treatments.

How long does it take for a pest treatment to work?

The timeline depends on the pest type and severity of the infestation. Some treatments, like those for ants or wasps, show results within hours. Others, such as rodent baiting or bed bug treatments, can take several days to a few weeks to fully eradicate the population. Your technician will provide a realistic timeline.

Do I need to prepare my home before the exterminator arrives?

Preparation requirements vary by treatment. For general pests, you may only need to clear access to baseboards and corners. For specific issues like bed bugs or fleas, more extensive prep is required, such as washing linens and vacuuming floors. Your chosen provider will give you a detailed preparation checklist beforehand.
