Pest Control FAQ

Most homes benefit from quarterly treatments, which align with seasonal pest cycles in Michigan. Spring and summer require more attention due to increased insect activity, while fall treatments prevent rodents seeking winter shelter. Monthly service works better for severe infestations or high-risk properties. We customize schedules based on your specific pest pressure and property needs rather than pushing unnecessary visits.

We use integrated pest management techniques that prioritize safety while maintaining effectiveness. We target pests specifically, and we follow strict application guidelines. Most products we use have low toxicity to humans and pets when applied correctly. We'll explain any precautions needed and can discuss alternative treatments if you have specific health concerns or sensitivities.

Michigan homeowners typically deal with ants, spiders, and wasps in warmer months, plus mice and rats seeking shelter during winter. We also see frequent issues with carpenter ants, boxelder bugs, and occasional bat or squirrel problems. Mosquitoes are heavy from May through September. Each property is different based on landscaping, nearby woods, and building conditions, which is why we customize treatment approaches.

We prioritize emergency calls for issues like wasp nests near entryways, rodent control services, or bed bug discoveries. Most emergency visits happen within 24-48 hours, often same-day for urgent situations. Regular service calls typically schedule within a week. Having the same technician familiar with your property helps us respond more effectively since they already know your pest history and property layout.

Yes, we stand behind our work with service guarantees. If pests return between scheduled visits, we'll come back at no extra charge to address the problem. The specific guarantee terms depend on the pest type and treatment method. Some pests like ants may require follow-up visits as part of the normal process, while others should stay gone longer. We'll explain what to expect for your specific situation.
