Q. What if I am running late or forget about my scheduled appointment and no one is at home? A. No problem, if we arrive for a scheduled appointment and no one answers, we start the outside perimeter service. If you don't make it home, we just do a complete yard service and leave your service ticket on the door.
Q. How long are your service visits? A. Service visits typically range between 30 and 45 minutes.
Q. What does the General Pest Service cover? A. Roaches, Ants, Crickets, Millepedes, Silverfish and Earwigs are covered. Rodent, Fleas, Pharaoh and Carpenter ants require different and often difficult treatment strategies and are charged accordingly.
Q. Can Rats get into my attic? A. Yes, In fact it is a very common problem for THE WOODLANDS residents.
Q. Should I use poison for a Rat problem? A. We recommend you DO NOT use poison baits for a rat problem in your attic or garage due to the risk of the rats dying inside your home and causing an odor problem. Baits do not make rodents go outside to die.
Q. Is treatment harmful to pets or children ? A. our products are designed for safe appliction in family enviroments.
Q.Why aren't rodents covered on quarterly services? A.This is how we are able to keep our prices down. Some companies include rodents and charge up to $150 a service. Over the course of a year thats a savings of almost $400. We treat Rodents on an as needed basis.
Q.Are pharaoh ants dificult to control ? A. Yes. They have very large colonies and if disturbed or sprayed with bug spray, the colony will split and form several new nests. Care must be taken to ensure a thorough treatment is done, so the colony doesn't split up.
Q. What does General Pest service include ? A. We treat the inside of your home, around the perimeter, the garage and the attic, if accessible. It does not include the yard, though I will treat ant mounds that I notice if they are located in areas around the perimeter.
Q. Where do you find wasps? A. Wasp nests can be found around houses, under eaves, front porch ceilings, attics, brick weep holes, corner of fences, trees, and shrubs. Several varieties of wasps build nests underground.
Q. Where are these pantry pests coming from? A. Strored product pests are found living in dried products such as dried fruits, spices, flour, bran, peas, dried vegetables, dried flowers, cereal products, dog food, nuts, candy, macaroni and other similar products.
Q. Do you offer rodent exclusion ? A. YES, we now offer rodent exclusion with a 1 year warranty.
Q. I saw a bug. Why? A. The baits and sprays we use in and around your home have an excellent residual effect and work extremely well. However, they can take several hours to complete the job, during which time a bug may be seen. Although it would be nice to have a product that would kill everything instantly so you wouldn't have to see a bug in your house, you really wouldn't want me to use anything that toxic in and around your home, pets and children. So unless your house is airtight, bugs will get in. But with our products and service they won't live long and they won't set up shop and start a family.
Q. Do I have to sign a contract? A. No, not anymore. However, we do offer you a lower rate if you stay on quarterly service.
