Q. Is the pesticide safe?
A. The pesticides we use are the best in the industry. They have all been approved for use in residences, commercial offices, restaurants, hospitals and even supermarkets. More important then what we use is how we use the products we have. We always read and follow the product labels so you and your family are kept safe.
Q. Should I leave the house while its being treated?
A.The pesticides we use for general pest control will not harm you or your family if you are in the home while we are treating. It is even ok if you are a pregnant. The only thing we ask is that you, your children and your pets do not come in contact with the insecticide while it is wet. If you do, do not panic. Just rinse items or areas of contact immediately with plenty of water or a slight irritation may occur.
Q. Does your service just take care of spiders?
A. No. Our general pest control service is designed to keep out almost all the insects we have here in Utah such as ants, box elder bugs, earwigs, wasps, crickets, centipedes, and, of course, spiders.
Q. I heard that if you spray for bugs all the bugs die and the spiders take over. Is this true?
A. No. It is actually the opposite. To eliminate spiders we must eliminate other insects. Spiders eat insects and if you take away their food source, then they will find another place to live.
Q. Will your spray stain my carpet or walls?
A. No. The residuals we use will not stain or discolor your carpet or walls.
Q. What should I do to prepare for a general pest control service?
A. Not much. We ask that you pick up any pet food and water that is left out. We also ask that you just tidy up and pick things off the floor. You do not need to rearrange furniture, but if the home is picked up, we can provide the best service.
Q. What should I do to prepare for a cockroach treatment?
A. Remove all food, dishes, and utensils from cupboards and drawers. Empty your trash and have all the dishes washed, out of the sink, and out of the dishwasher. For cockroach treatments, you should be out of the house while we are treating.
Q. What should I do to prepare for a bed bug treatment?
A. Nothing unless we instruct otherwise. We do not want you to run the risk of spreading the bed bugs to other parts of the home and making treatment more difficult.
Q. What if it rains after you fertilize?
A. For a fertilizer to work, it needs to be watered into the lawn. So if it rains the day we fertilize, it will in fact speed the fertilization process. The weed control is rain-fast in 4 hours, so if it rains right after we treat for weeds, call us so that we can return and retreat those weeds free of charge when the weather is better.
Q. Should I mow right after my lawn is fertilized?
A. Wait until after watering the lawn before you mow. This allows the fertilizer to be watered into the lawn and begin working.
