- Why don't you come inside my home on every pest control visit? 90 % of the insects inside your home came from outside your home. Therefore, by treating the outside we are stopping them from entering all together.
- Will the products you use harm my pets? All of the products we use are formulated for cold-blooded insects, and when properly applied, should not pose any threat to your pets?
- Will there be any odor after you treat? Some products do have an odor. The odor is not the chemical itself but the emulsifiers added by the manufacturer to allow the products to be mixed with water.
- How safe are the products you use? All products are approved by the EPA and when applied properly are perfectly safe.
- How often should my Sentricon stations be checked? And how will I know they have been checked? The stations should be checked on a quarterly basis if there is no activity, and monthly if there is activity. At the time of each visit you will receive a service ticket with all pertinent information regarding your home.
