Questions to Ask Your Technician
Ask where products will be placed, how long surfaces need to dry, whether blooming plants will be avoided, and what pets or children need to avoid during service. Ask whether the treatment is targeted to the pest or simply a general spray.
Product Placement Matters
Crack-and-crevice treatment, exterior perimeter work, harborage treatment, and bait placement can reduce exposure while targeting the pest's travel routes. For roaches and ants, baits and non-repellent placements often perform better than broad sprays.
After Service
Most exterior surfaces can be used after they are dry, but timing depends on the product and site. Your technician should explain re-entry and any room-specific restrictions.
Pollinator Considerations
Avoid treating blooming plants. Mosquito and pest treatments should focus on shaded resting sites, cracks, crevices, and pest harborage rather than flowers.
