Residential Pest Control: What Homeowners Should Expect

What a residential pest control visit involves: inspection, treatment, prep, safety and follow-up, so you know what to expect from us.

Expect an inspection, pest identification, a treatment plan with pricing and safety instructions and a follow-up schedule. A good company explains what it finds and why it recommends each step.

The treatment

Treatment often starts outside, with baits, targeted sprays or dusts placed where pests travel and nest. Interior work may include gels, baits or crack-and-crevice treatments. Ask which products will be used and where.
