Pest Control Services in Bucks and Montgomery, PA

Pest Inspections

Everything starts with an inspection. Think of this like your ability to identify and learn about your pests before figuring out the best method to fix the problem. Certain pests have specific pest control methods that work best, from sprays to natural cleaning supplies like fresh water and soap.

It’s important to remember that many creatures found around your home are not pests. In fact, these are what we would consider beneficial organisms, like ladybugs, worms in your garden, or spiders around the exterior of your home’s foundation. These organisms actually catch and eat pests, or keep soil fertile so you can have a lush green garden or lawn that perpetually stays beautiful.

Preparing for an Inspection

Homeowners might get nervous when preparing for a pest inspection, but we have a reputation for being friendly and efficient with our inspection process. We don’t need your home to be spotless, or even any cleaner than normal, as we’ll want to see what your normal living space looks like when we detect any pests. Here are some ways to prepare for an inspection.

• Meet with our team for a full breakdown of your pest problems. We’ll describe to you our findings, the kind of pest you might be dealing with, and potential solutions. We’re happy to work on your schedule and budget to make sure you get the best work possible.

As part of our pest inspection, we’ll locate and identify organisms that are harmful in comparison to beneficial organisms. By correctly identifying which is which, we’ll be able to choose the right method for eliminating the pests or warding them off so they don’t affect your quality of life.

Pest Treatment

There are three main types of pest control that homeowners can trust us with. These are chemical pest control, biological pest control, and physical pest control.

• Chemical pest control involves the use of pesticides and ultra low-volume (ULV) fogging. These chemicals target a very specific subsection of pests and eliminate them without harming humans. Sometimes, we recommend evacuating the premises for a limited amount of time for the treatment to do its work, but we’ll always work with our customers to ensure this doesn’t interfere with lifestyle activities.
• Biological pest control involves the interaction of pests and their biological needs, such as limiting food sources and using EPA-approved tactics to ward off pests entirely. Most biological pest control techniques are performed on a wide scale.
• Physical pest control includes any other types of pest control, like creating barriers, knocking pests away with tools, spraying them with water, laying traps, and even using heat to eliminate them. Physical pest control can be intensive, but it is a long-term solution for most residential properties dealing with pest issues.

Which Type of Pest Control Should I Choose?

This is a tricky question and one that we’d recommend leaving up to us. Only a certified pest control professional knows about the various types of pest control and how they can best be applied.

After we perform our initial inspection of your home and identify the pests that are causing you trouble, we can then figure out which category of pest control to choose: chemical, biological, or physical control tactics.

Once we’ve identified the pest and have chosen the specific pest control method that fits, we can get to work on eliminating them and getting your home back to being comfortable and hygienic.

Benefits of Pest Maintenance

It’s time to live pest-less. Close your eyes and imagine a life without worrying about the ants in the cupboard, the mouse behind your fridge, or the termites clicking away in your walls. Regular pest maintenance can lead to a better quality of life and comfortable home experience. Here are some things you should keep in mind when considering pest maintenance.

• Cleaner and more hygienic life. Pests bring with them illnesses, mold, and bacteria that can infect your family. Without pests, you can perform regular household cleaning and keep your home as fresh and clean as your heart desires.
• A safer environment for pets and children. Pets and small children can crawl on the floor and pick up some of the droppings and mold that are left behind from pests. This can be a dangerous situation and it requires constant maintenance to make sure things are clean and healthy.
• A longer-lasting home. Some pests can damage your home and cause long-lasting issues that are frustrating to deal with. Maintenance allows us to keep pests out year after year so your home lasts longer overall.
• Improved home aesthetics. Your home will look prettier and match the desired aesthetics you want if pests are kept out.

When to Call a Professional

It can be hard for potential customers to figure out when the best time to hire a pest control professional might be. After all, there are many DIY traps and tools that homeowners can purchase at the grocery store and set up which do an average job of catching or eliminating some of the most common pests that we see.

However, DIY solutions are not far-reaching or long-term enough to counteract a true pest infestation. We’d recommend customers call for our help if they notice signs of damage that exist in hard-to-reach areas of their home, or droppings in places where traps don’t seem to have any effect.

Also, many homeowners might be dealing with less common pests that can cause infestations which require a different set of tools. In these situations, a pest control professional will not only alleviate the problem, but should be able to teach you how to manage it in the future so it never gets any worse.

How Often Should You Call for Pest Control?

Pest control is a powerful tool that can alleviate the issue of pests from your home. Depending on the kind of pest you’re dealing with, this process can take time and resources. Luckily, this is all for our team to figure out.

We make it so that you should only really have to schedule pest control once to get the job done. But depending on the type of pest and what happens in the future, you might need to use our pest maintenance services to keep the pests away.

We can install physical barriers and provide routine cleanings that ensure pests don’t have a place to hide or leave droppings in your home. In many cases, they’ll be unable to enter your home at all.

Call our team if you are dealing with a pest issue, no matter how small. We’ll advise you on where to go from there.

Are Our Treatments Safe for People and Pets?

Yes! Most treatments are safe for people and pets. And, in the case of solutions like chemical spraying, we’ll help you evacuate your family members and pets so that nobody gets exposed to anything harmful.

An unfortunate reality of pest control is that some persistent critters require the use of gas and sprays to get rid of them. These chemicals can be toxic to humans if exposed, but we have strict guidelines of when to use them and how to safely apply them so you never get exposed in the first place. We’ll clean any leftover chemicals and blow out any leftover gases so you can enter a clean home that’s pest-free.

That’s our guarantee to you.
