This is the perfect time to service your home for pest control if you are interested. The kids are out for summer and that means it's time to service for fleas, ticks, and maybe even mosquitoes!
Right now, we have been getting a lot of calls for fleas and ticks. If you ever have had another pest control company, you know that fleas and ticks are really hard to get under control. In fact, fleas and ticks have a two week egg cycle, which means, if we only go one time and spray for that, expect to see the eggs hatch in the next two weeks. You might be thinking, well why weren't they rid of the first time? When we go out and spray, the chemical and growth regulators make the eggs that the fleas/ticks hatched immune.
So that's the reason that you need a second service (which by then we would've given you a 30 day guarantee.)
So how does the service for fleas and ticks work?

So how does the service for fleas and ticks work?
For fleas and ticks, we go ahead and spray the entire floor of your home. For ticks, they love nesting in confined spaces, so we need to spray any cracks and crevices we see. Another thing, if you have carpets, that's where you're going to see a lot of your problems, they love nesting in cool areas. So, we always ask our customers to go ahead and vacuum any carpet areas, and that goes the same for cutting the yard.
Why is cutting the yard necessary? Eggs hatch with vibration, so cutting the yard automatically hatches all of those babies, and that means, we can kill more fleas and ticks, which means, you get more for your money and for us to take care of the problem the first time.
Even though we are taking all of these precautions to get rid of the problem for you, the 2nd visit is necessary in order to get those few that we didn't get rid of the first time.
If you have any pets, you need to go ahead and dip them in a regular fleas/tick removal shampoo, we don't want the problem to continue.
If you have any questions, or you want to get serviced, give us a call on our contact information!
