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.
A pest control company inspects your home, identifies the pest, and applies treatments to remove or control it. Most visits last 30 to 60 minutes. The work can include bait stations, sprays, traps, dusts, or heat treatments, depending on the species and the level of infestation found during the inspection.
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.
Ask the technician exactly which product is being applied, its safety sheet, and the re-entry time. Most modern products dry in 1 to 2 hours. Bait stations are usually safer than broadcast sprays around toddlers and cats. Request child- and pet-safe options before the visit if needed.
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.
Most pest control companies offer three main plans: one-time service, quarterly, or monthly contracts. One-time service targets a current problem. Quarterly plans cover preventive visits every 3 months. Monthly contracts suit homes near wooded areas or with recurring issues. Each plan includes inspection, treatment, and follow-up checks, but the number of visits and the included pests vary.
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.
Indoor treatments focus on baseboards, cracks, and hiding spots using gel, dust, or low-odor sprays. Outdoor treatments create a 1 to 2 metre barrier around the foundation using liquid or granular products. Some pests require both zones. Ask whether your quote covers perimeter spraying, since outdoor work usually adds 20 to 40 percent to the total cost.
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.
The most requested services target ants, cockroaches, rodents, termites, spiders, wasps, fleas, and bed bugs. Each pest needs a different method. Treating ants is not the same as treating termites, so a good company asks you to describe the pest, droppings, damage, or bite marks before quoting a price.
