FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I expect during my first visit:

A prompt, polite, and professional tech will arrive at your scheduled appointment window. During your initial visit your tech will conduct a thorough inspection of your home and yard to identify any pest infestations, as well as provide a report of potential areas of concern. This report will allow you to understand where your problem areas are, and we will provide you with a comprehensive approach on how to solve them.

What is pollinator friendly pest control?

Pollinator-minded pest management is leveraging an integrated pest management system that combines multiple strategies to manage pests in a way that is environmentally sustainable and safe for pollinators. For example, our technicians are trained to avoid spraying pesticides on flowering plants, especially when pollinators are active. We also do our best to spray at the right time, so if it is an extremely windy day we will use granular pesticides vs. spray to ensure no drift occurs to flowering plants.

What is the best way to prevent pests from entering my home?

The best way to prevent pests is by maintaining cleanliness, sealing entry points, removing standing water, and keeping food stored properly. Regular inspections and maintenance can also help identify and address potential problems early.

How often should I have my home treated for pests?

The frequency of treatments depends on the type of pests, the severity of the infestation, and the specific needs of your home. Typically, quarterly treatments are recommended for general pest control, but more frequent visits may be necessary for severe infestations.

What should I do to prepare for a pest control treatment?

Preparation steps vary depending on the treatment, but generally include cleaning the area to be treated, removing food and dishes, covering or removing pet items, and ensuring access to all areas where pests may be present.

How long does it take to see results after a pest control treatment?

Results can vary based on the type of pest and treatment used. Some pests may be eliminated immediately, while others may take a few days to weeks. Your pest control provider will give you specific timelines based on your situation.

What should I do if I see pests after a treatment?

It’s normal to see increased pest activity after a treatment as pests are driven out of hiding. If you continue to see pests after the expected timeframe, contact Home and Hive for a follow-up treatment.

Do I need to leave my home during a pest control treatment?

In most cases, you do not need to leave your home during a treatment, especially for common pests. However, for certain treatments, like fumigation, temporary evacuation may be necessary. Home and Hive will inform you of any special requirements.

How do I know if I have a pest problem?

Signs of a pest problem include visible pests, droppings, damage to structures or belongings, unusual noises, and unpleasant odors. If you suspect a pest issue, it’s best to schedule an inspection with a professional.

Why is professional pest control better than DIY methods?

Professional pest control is more effective because experts have the training, experience, and access to advanced tools and treatments that are not available to the general public. They can accurately identify pests, assess the severity of the infestation, and implement a comprehensive treatment plan to ensure long-term control.
