Our Pest Control Process
When you hire a pest control company, the process generally involves a few key steps to identify, treat, and prevent pest problems. The exact process can vary by company and the specific type of infestation, but here is a typical breakdown:
Initial Consultation and Inspection
- Gathering Information: When you first contact a company, they will ask you questions about the pests you've seen, where you've seen them, and for how long. They may also ask if you've tried any DIY pest control methods.
- On-site Inspection: A professional technician will come to your property to perform a thorough inspection. They will look for signs of pest activity (like droppings, nests, or damage), potential entry points (cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, etc.), and contributing factors (such as standing water or cluttered areas). This inspection is crucial for accurately identifying the pest and the extent of the infestation.
Developing a Treatment Plan
Identification: Based on the inspection, the technician will identify the specific pest. Proper identification is a vital step, as different pests require different treatment methods.
Creating a Strategy: The company will then develop a customized treatment plan. This plan should be detailed and outlined:
- The type of treatment to be used (e.g., baits, traps, sprays, or a combination).
- The areas that will be treated.
- The timeline for the treatment and any necessary follow-up visits.
- An estimate of the total cost.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Many reputable companies use an IPM approach. This is a holistic strategy that focuses on long-term prevention and uses a combination of methods, not just pesticides. An IPM plan will likely include recommendations for things you can do to help, such as sealing cracks, improving sanitation, and removing food sources.
Preparation and Treatment
Your Role in Preparation: The company will provide you with a list of things you need to do before they begin the treatment. This might involve:
- Clearing clutter from areas that will be treated.
- Storing food and pet supplies in sealed containers.
- Moving furniture or appliances away from walls to provide access.
- In some cases, you may be asked to leave the property for a few hours.
Application of Treatments: The technician will apply the chosen treatments. This could involve applying liquid or dust pesticides, setting up traps or bait stations, or using other specialized methods. The professional should explain what they are doing and why.
Follow-up and Prevention
- Monitoring and Maintenance: After the initial treatment, the company will typically schedule follow-up visits. These visits are to monitor the pest activity, ensure the treatment was successful, and make any necessary adjustments to the plan.
- Preventative Measures: The pest control company will also provide recommendations for long-term prevention. This could include advice on sealing entry points, fixing leaks, and maintaining a clean environment to make your property less attractive to pests in the future.
- Guarantees: Many companies offer guarantees or warranties on their services, which can provide peace of mind that they will return if the problem persists within a specified period.
