What people ask us
Are pest treatments safe for pets?
Ask the company which products they use and how long to keep pets away. Many offer pet-friendly options. Some treatments call for keeping pets out of a room for a few hours, and fish tanks may need to be covered.
Why do I see more bugs after a treatment?
Some treatments drive pests out of hiding for a few days. If activity keeps rising after a week or two, call the company back.

Summer highs often top 95 degrees. Tule fog can settle in on winter mornings. Most homes sit on slab foundations. Those details help the pest control company plan the visit.
