Questions about safety and preparation

Before any treatment, your technician tells you what to move, what to cover and whether anyone should stay out of a room and for how long. For flea treatment, for example, people and pets stay out of treated areas for at least four hours. Bait for roaches and ants goes into cracks and hiding spots, not open floors, and rodent bait is kept in locked stations away from kids and pets.

Questions about wildlife

We don't trap and move squirrels and raccoons. We use exclusion: one-way doors let the animals leave on their own, we check for babies first, and then we seal the way in. Bats are protected, so bat exclusion is timed around the summer pup season. See wildlife questions.

Simple ways to prevent it

🔍

Look before it spreads

Check under sinks, the basement and the attic a few times a year.

🧱

Seal the outside

Close gaps around pipes, vents and doors.

💧

Control moisture

Fix leaks and use a dehumidifier in damp basements.
