Questions to ask before treatment
Which pests are included?
Your estimate specifies the selected pests and areas. Mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and other concerns should be discussed individually; one application is not automatically a complete program for all of them.
When can people and pets return?
Follow the instructions for the actual treatment. Do not assume a universal 30- or 60-minute waiting period. Ask about preparation for play equipment, pet areas and outdoor belongings.
How often is service needed?
Frequency depends on the selected work, findings and service plan. Discuss one-time or recurring options where appropriate. Perimeter Guard packages use services chosen for the property.
Does treatment replace bite precautions?
No. Continue personal precautions and veterinary advice for pets. Read the CDC tick-prevention guidance. Yard treatment is not a guarantee against bites or illness.
Do I need to be present?
Agree on access, gates, pets and communication before the appointment. Tell us about water features, gardens and any areas you want discussed before work begins.
What happens afterward?
Ask what changes to expect and when to report continued activity. Follow-up and any additional work are defined by the service terms rather than a fixed promise of results within a day or two.
