Q. What about my children and pets?
A. We use EPA registered products and we use the utmost care when
it comes to your safety. If it will be necessary to remove pets or
vacate during a treatment, we will notify you in advance. It is usually
not necessary to leave.
Q. What if I am pregnant, have a new baby, or have a suppressed
immune system?
A. Just as a precaution, we ask that you leave the premises for at
least 2 hours. We also recommend that anyone in the home with a breathing
disorder or an elderly person be taken from the home for a couple
hours.
Q. If I see a pest problem after my regular service will you come
back?
A. It is usual to see an increase in insect activity right after our
service. If the problem persists after several days, we'll return
at NO CHARGE.
Q. What about rain?
A. All of the material used in our pest management programs are designed
for all weather conditions.
Q. If I didn't see any pests, can I skip a service?
A. Remember, "when we do our best job there is nothing there."
For us to maintain control, we must perform all of your services.
Q. I didn't smell anything after our service technician left.
A. Betts Pest Control Inc. is concerned about your environment. We
use low-odor products.
Q. How soon can I water after your visit?
A. We use a water-based formulation. When your property is dry (usually
15-25 minutes), you can water without losing control of pests.
Q. After my first visit, when will you come back?
A. You can expect us within the next 60 days, or every other month.
Call us if there is a special need.
Q. When you treat inside my cabinets, do I need to wash them when
you are done?
A. No. If you plan to wash out your cabinets, do so before our treatment.
Also, please remove any loose shelf paper at this time. Be sure all
cabinets are dry before putting items back in your cabinets.
Q. How can I tell what kind of bug I have a problem with?
A. If you are unsure what kind of roach, spider, termite or other
kind of bug you have, the best way to find out is to have it identified
by a professional pest control technician.
Q. What is the best way to catch a specimen for identification?
A. We recommend that you spray the bug with hairspray and then place
it in a plastic bag to give to the technician for identification.
You can also bring the insect into our office for fast, accurate identification.
Q. Why should I hire a professional pest control technician rather
than do the job myself?
A. Chemicals sold by home improvement or garden centers can have a
residual effect for as short as 30 minutes. Many of our products used
for residential insect and rodent control last at least 60 days to
keep working between treatments.
Q. Will the products you treat our homes with be environmentally
safe to both humans and our pets?
A. The various pesticides, baits, traps, and pest management strategies
used by Betts Pest Control Inc. are the very latest in technology
that the industry has to offer. Environmentally friendly products
along with integrated pest management strategies are used to give
our customers they very best in control with less use of chemical
and effective results.
