FAQ's For Pest Control Service

It depends on the circumstances. Some pests take longer to eradicate than others, and some homes are much larger and more difficult to service. Some treatments may take as little as 30 minutes, while others may take as long as 8 hours, depending on the severity and type of treatment required.

In most cases, you should notice a significant reduction in pest activity within one to two days. The exact length of time depends on the type of pest and the materials used to get the best long-term results.

In some cases, you may notice a slight increase in pest activity immediately following our initial treatment. This is encouraging! This indicates that the pesticides are effective. We've disrupted their normal breeding and feeding habits, and they're looking for a new home. The only difference now is that they're covered in pesticide. They won't be around for long. Allow a week or two for it to die down, but give us a call if it persists. We may need to give them another round of treatment.

If you're looking for pest inspection and/or pest control, you've probably tried to solve the problem yourself. While taking matters into your own hands is admirable in some cases, pest control almost always necessitates more strategy and attention than you can provide. Most homeowners lack the expertise and time to handle the majority of pest-related situations that occur in or around their home or business. If you want to solve your pest control problem right away, call us at 866-899-8536.

Pests can enter a home in a variety of ways. Ants, roaches, and even mice can enter through seemingly insignificant cracks and crevices in search of food and shelter. Pests are less likely to come into your home if you take care of branches, shrubs, and piles of firewood, decorative rocks, and other parts of your landscaping.

For example, if you have a pile of firewood next to your house, roll the logs around every so often to reduce the possibility of pests forming nests or being raised off the ground. Properly stacking any firewood piles would also be advantageous and optimal.

Spiders, ants, and other pests have been observed using trees, shrubs, and parts of gardens as ladders to enter homes through windows, cracks in brick siding, and so on. Stomp Pest Control looks for and finds potential problem areas before treating, but it is your job to make sure that these areas get the care they need.

There are a number of temporary solutions that may work for a short time, but in our experience, long-term pest control is achieved by going above and beyond standard practices.

Pesticides, like any other chemical, must be used with caution. Our certified technicians will make certain that the job is done correctly and in accordance with the law.

First and foremost, a clutter-free and clean home is essential. Check for any areas where ants, mosquitos, cockroaches, spiders, wasps, bees, and mice and rats could hide.

Countertops in your home should be free of dishes, food, and any appliances that pests can hide behind. Cover any open food and store it in a secure location. If you have children, make sure their crib, mattress, and toys are protected and kept in a secure location. Please keep in mind that children frequently put objects in their mouths, often without the knowledge of their parent(s).

It never hurts to mop and scrub any tile or hardwood surfaces, and it can help get rid of any pest eggs. The same is true for vacuuming: remove any pest eggs before having your home serviced to avoid unexpected and extra charges!

Cleaning under and around any movable appliances, such as microwaves, freezers, refrigerators, storage units, and so on, is something that is frequently overlooked. Pests are known to enjoy a relaxing vacation in appliances like these. Another tip is to empty and clean around your indoor trash can often and before service to keep it from becoming a place where pests can hide.

If you discover evidence of intruding pests such as faeces, damaged property, or exoskeletons, be sure to notify your pest exterminator so that the area(s) can be properly examined and evaluated. Keep an eye out for any water leaks or moist areas in your home, as pests have been known to congregate in those areas. Because every situation is different, there may be other ways to prepare your home for pest control services. That's why it's so important to talk as much as possible during your free pest inspection.

Cleaning your home after a pest control treatment is usually safe for about 3-5 days after the treatment. If you left bait around your house as part of your treatment, you should be able to clean around them as long as you stay away from the bait.

Cleaning before the exterminator arrives is always a good idea because you won't have to wait as long between cleanings.

Shampooing your carpet before the treatment will undoubtedly improve the effectiveness of the treatment. Carpets can sometimes serve as nests for pest eggs. To get the best results from your pest control service, remove anything that could serve as a breeding ground for pest eggs.

If you, you’re family, or your pet need to leave the house, your technician will gladly advise you. Often, treated surfaces require time to dry. This can be a problem if your 2-year-old is touching everything in sight and putting everything in their mouths.

You can avoid problems after your home has been serviced if you tell your technicians about any sensitive people, pets, fish ponds, or organic gardens that need extra care and attention.

Many customers believe that pesticides will be washed away by rain. As a result, pest control companies frequently receive requests to reschedule their services due to inclement weather. Contrary to popular belief, rain and snow have little effect on pest control treatments. Rain and light snow can actually improve pest control services because pests are drawn out of the ground.

Rain and light snow have also been known to help pest control services. This is due to the fact that some products (formulated granular pellets) are placed on a property that requires water to be activated by water. If you live in an area that regularly experiences unusually harsh weather, be sure to tell your pest control professional about it.

When it comes to indoor pest control, keep in mind that window areas, door frames, and crevasses are commonly targeted. Wet weather conditions are rarely a pest control factor in those areas because they are generally dry.

You should be able to gather an understanding of how long you should stay out of your house after it has been serviced for pests by following the recommendations on the product label or for each product. Although not required for the majority of services, a 2-4 hour window is generally regarded as best practice for some. Ask how long the products will take to dry, and start calculating the start-to-finish timeframe of vacancy if necessary.

It is always preferable to identify pest infestations early on because the deeper the infestation, the longer it will take to eradicate them. But how would you know if pests and bugs are present? By closely inspecting everything, the answer is fairly simple.

Fortunately, certain pests, such as cockroaches, lizards, and rats, are easily found. However, some pests, such as termites or bedbugs, are difficult to identify. However, if you pay attention, you can easily identify the symptoms of these pests.

If you suspect pests, you should thoroughly inspect your surroundings and look for symptoms. So, if you notice small red spots on your bed sheet, should you investigate to see if there are bedbugs? Similarly, if you notice brown powder-like dust near your furniture, you should look into termite infestation.

Alternatively, you can contact a qualified pest control company to investigate; if pests and bugs are present, they can easily identify and recommend treatments. Typically, pest control agencies do not charge for inspections, and if pests are discovered, they can provide pest control services and assist you in getting rid of them quickly.

Pest control service rates and charges are typically determined by the type of treatment provided, the level of infestation, and the overall affected area. For example, general pest control service rates for bed bug treatment begin at Rs.999 and can reach Rs. 3000 for fumigation treatment for bed bugs. Spray treatment for bedbugs can range from Rs. 1000 for one spray to Rs. 2500 for three sprays. Similarly, cockroach treatment ranges from Rs. 999 to Rs. 2999 or more, depending on the area.

Yes. You must prepare a little before the pest control expert arrives, but these preparations are usually easier to complete. Some of the fundamental preparations can be found here.

In the kitchen and at dining tables, cover food and drinking water.

Clean up and clear out the area where the pest control will be done so that the exterminators can do their job well.

Clear out all of the areas that require attention.

Apart from these basic preparations, depending on the type of pest control service you have requested, you may need to make a few additional preparations as advised by the pest control professionals. It's also a good idea to check with them to see if any special preparation is needed.

Generally, you do not need to clean your house after a pest control treatment, but depending on the type of treatment and chemicals used, your pest control company should inform you if anything in your house requires cleanup. However, you may need to properly ventilate your home after treatment to eliminate any odours.

Unless you are allergic or sensitive to certain smells or chemicals, it is usually not necessary. Even if the chemicals or herbal sprays used for pest control are not usually harmful to humans, some of us would prefer to stay outside until the pest control treatment is completed. However, if any of your family members suffer from asthma or other breathing problems, they should stay outside for a few hours.

It is difficult to predict how your pet will respond to the treatment. For example, if you have an aggressive dog, it may disrupt the operation or attempt to lick the chemicals being sprayed. If it is very aggressive, it may try to attack the pest control professionals, so keep your pet away for a few hours until the treatment is completed and the chemicals have dried properly.

Some pests will die immediately, regardless of how deep they go with the treatment, while others may hide or flee. But, in the end, all of the pests must die, which could take a day or two. However, as time passes, you will notice a decrease in the number of pests, and eventually, they will all die.

We hope we've covered the majority of the frequently asked questions about pest control services, from rates to precautions to how to find an expert. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask them, and I will be happy to answer them.
