Questions
Questions we get before the first visit
How much does pest control cost?
It depends on the size of the house and lot, the pest and how many visits it takes. We don't print prices. The written quote lists the first-visit fee, each visit and the year's total.
How often do I need service?
Many homes do well with four visits a year. Some need two, and some need a plan with a yearly termite and rodent check. We tell you what we see and let you choose.
Is it safe for my kids and pets?
We can't promise any product is harmless to every child or pet, and nobody should. Licensed applicators follow the product label, we tell you which rooms and areas to keep children and pets out of and for how long, and we give you the product name if you ask. Most visits start outside, at the entry points.
How long until I see results?
For most homes, activity drops within a week or two, though this varies by pest and by house. Ants and rodents often take more than one visit.
Do I need to be home?
Not always. We tell you when you book. Outside-only visits often don't need you home. Inside visits do.
What if the pests come back?
Call the number. If the pest we treated for comes back within 60 days of a visit, we return and treat the same areas at no charge. That covers the pests named on your service report. It doesn't cover pests we didn't treat for, or entry points we asked you to seal that stay open. Plan customers get return visits between scheduled visits for as long as the plan is active.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. You can book one visit. Plans can be canceled by calling or texting the number; billing stops after the visit already booked.
Do you handle termites?
We inspect and report in writing. A report says what we saw on the day. It promises nothing about the future, and it doesn't cover damage.
Where do you go, and when can you come?
Four routes across Sacramento and the towns north and south of it. We give you a two-hour window when you book and a text the day before.
