What pest control service may include
Residential pest control is usually built around identifying the source of activity, sealing or reducing entry points, treating active areas, and setting a prevention schedule. Providers may recommend interior treatment, exterior perimeter treatment, traps, bait stations, attic or crawlspace inspection, or yard-focused treatments depending on the issue.
Common service requests include ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, wasps, mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, mice, rats, and seasonal invaders. Termite service may require a specialized inspection and a separate treatment plan.
Questions worth asking
- Which pests are covered by the plan and which require separate treatment?
- Are the products appropriate for homes with children or pets when applied as directed?
- How soon should activity decline after service?
- Is follow-up included if the issue continues?
- What prevention steps can reduce future activity?
