Using supermarket sprays before the technician arrives can scatter a colony and make it harder to treat. Storing food in open boxes, leaving pet bowls out overnight, and ignoring small leaks under the sink all attract pests back. Skipping the recommended yard treatment often cancels indoor results within weeks.
Bait stations hold poison that workers carry back to the nest. Sprays leave a residual barrier on baseboards and entry points. Dusts fill wall voids where sprays cannot reach. Heat treatment raises room temperature above 50 degrees Celsius for several hours to kill bed bugs in all life stages.
Indoor residual sprays last 30 to 90 days depending on airflow and sunlight exposure. Gel baits dry out after 2 to 3 weeks and need replacement. Dust products in wall voids can last 6 months if dry. Outdoor barriers break down faster, usually every 45 to 60 days. Ask the technician when your specific treatment needs reapplication.
A proper inspection report includes the date, technician name, rooms checked, pests identified, and severity level. It should note entry points like cracks wider than 3 mm, moisture areas, and signs of nesting. Photos are standard. Ask for a copy before any treatment begins, so you know exactly what was found and what areas need attention.
Most reputable companies offer a 30 to 90 day warranty on general pests and 6 to 12 months on termite work. The warranty should cover retreatments at no extra cost if activity returns. Get the warranty in writing, including which rooms and which pests it covers, before any work begins.
A proper inspection covers the attic, crawl spaces, basement, garage, utility rooms, and the perimeter outside. The technician should open outlet covers, look behind appliances, and check moisture meters. A written report with photos, locations, and species identified is a sign of serious work.
If you see live pests in treated areas after 14 days, the treatment failed. Other warning signs include new droppings, fresh gnaw marks, or activity during daylight, since most pests are nocturnal. A failed treatment often means wrong product, wrong placement, or an untreated nest. Request a free follow-up visit if your contract includes a guarantee.
Treatment time depends on the pest. Ant baits take 7 to 14 days to reduce colonies. Roach gel shows results in 5 to 10 days. Bed bug heat treatment works in 1 day, but sprays need 2 to 3 weeks. Termite treatments may require 30 to 90 days of monitoring. Ask the technician for a clear timeline for your specific case.
Ask if the company is licensed in your area, carries liability insurance, and employs certified applicators. Request the product names, the warranty terms, and the number of follow-up visits included. Ask for references from similar jobs in the last 6 months and the technician's years of experience.
Look for droppings, gnaw marks on wood or wiring, shed wings near windows, small piles of sawdust, grease trails along walls, and unusual smells. In kitchens, check under the sink and behind the fridge. Catching an infestation in the first 2 to 4 weeks usually cuts the treatment cost in half.
