1. Yes.  We do require a service agreement with both single and routine services.

The cost depends on the service that is being performed.  Our cost for a routine spray treatments are based on the square footage of the structure, the location and the amount chemical is it going to take to take care of the problem.  The cost for rodent work is very hard to determine without inspecting the property.  Our inspection cost $75, but will be apply to any rodent that is done by us.  For bed bugs the price for use liquid chemical to treat them is dependent on the number of rooms in the entire house.  This is because the whole structure will need to be treated in order to resolve the problem.  The better option is to fumigate the house.  The price is based on cubic footage of the structure.

Depends on the weather.   If it is a warm or hot day, the pesticide normally take 15-20 minutes to dry. Our recommendation is once the ground is completely dry, the pets can go into the yard.

We are very careful and conscienious about our customers property.  There are some pesticides out there that do stain, but we try to stay away from those type of pesticides.

We use a special chemical that is non-repellent.  The reason for this is that ants can detect standard repellents,  like aerosol spray.  The non-repellent chemical will be carried down into the nest a kill colony, rather just the few on the surface.  Also, we use a sugar bait on the interior of the home or business in case that ants comes up from places that the non-repellent chemical can’t be sprayed.

The chemical we use is a 2 part chemical……one part is a knock down and the other part is a residual.  Also, we will use a special broom called a webster to remove the reachable spider webs.  The reason we do this to monitor the spider activity and deter the spiders away.
