FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Is pest control safe?
A. When applied by licensed professionals like us, pest control is indeed safe. Our team is extensively trained and certified to ensure the correct application of treatments, and we can provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) upon request. We take the time to address any concerns you may have and tailor our treatments to best suit your pest problem. We're committed to being environmentally and pet conscious. As pet owners ourselves, we understand the importance of keeping your furry friends safe. Whether it's horse barns, cattle barns, dog kennels, or other outdoor pet areas, we'll work with you to apply pest control treatments safely. Our approach incorporates Integrated Pest Management (IPM), a five-step process that includes inspection, identification, recommendation/consultation, exclusion and treatment, and evaluation. This comprehensive strategy ensures effective pest control while minimizing environmental impact and keeping your loved ones safe.
Q. How often should I have my property sprayed?
A. Spray frequency depends on the specific pest problem and seasonal variations. For instance, spiders may necessitate two applications - one in spring and one in fall, while Asian beetles might only require one application in fall. Timely exterior treatments are crucial for preventing pests from entering your home. Mouse control can be scheduled as needed or on a regular basis, which is particularly common for cabin or seasonal clients.
