FAQs · Before You Call

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions homeowners across North Idaho and Eastern Washington ask us most — what we treat, how often, what a visit involves, and how to get ready for one.

Coverage

Services & scheduling

What pests do you treat?

We treat a wide range of common pests, including ants, spiders, rodents, cockroaches, wasps, mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and other household pests. Every service is built to do two things: eliminate the active infestation and keep pests from coming back.

How often should pest control services be scheduled?

Most homes do best on quarterly pest control treatments. Service every season keeps protection consistent through the year and stops infestations before they begin.

Do you offer preventative pest control services?

Yes. Our preventative pest control plans combine regular inspections with scheduled treatments designed to stop pest infestations before they start.

The Visit

Safety & your service visit

Are pest control treatments safe for pets and children?

Our licensed technicians apply professional products strictly according to their labels — that's the standard every treatment is held to. Most treatments dry quickly, and your technician will tell you if any area needs a short re-entry window before kids and pets use it again, and will walk through any specific concerns with you before treating.

How long does a pest control treatment take?

Most pest control services take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the property and the type of pest being treated.

Will I need to leave my home during treatment?

In most cases, no — you do not need to leave your home during exterior treatments. If an interior treatment requires temporary relocation, your technician will give you clear instructions ahead of time.

What should I do to prepare for pest control service?

Clear the areas around the foundation of your home and make sure our technicians can access the treatment areas. If your service calls for any additional preparation, we will let you know in advance.

Know the Signs

Pests, signs & prevention

What are the signs of a pest infestation?

Common signs include droppings, damaged food packaging, scratching noises in walls, visible insects, nests, and unusual odors. If you are noticing any of these, it is worth having a professional take a look.

How do pests enter my home?

Most pests get in through small cracks in foundations, gaps around doors and windows, roof vents, and openings around plumbing or utility lines.

How can I prevent pests from returning?

Regular pest control service, sealing entry points, reducing moisture around the home, and proper food storage can significantly reduce pest activity.
