FAQ
1. What methods do bed bug exterminators use?
Exterminators typically use three main treatments: chemical sprays, heat treatment, or freezing (cryonite). Chemical sprays target live bugs and eggs with insecticides. Heat treatment involves raising room temperatures above ~49–60 °C to kill all life stages. Freezing uses cryogenic CO₂ or liquid nitrogen to reach lethal temperatures. Often, a combination of methods delivers the most effective, eradication-proof results.
2. How do I check for bed bugs before calling an exterminator?
Look in mattress seams, upholstered furniture, bed frames, and cracks. Signs include small reddish-brown insects (~1–7 mm), shed skins, tiny black fecal spots, blood stains on sheets, and a musty odor.
3. Do DIY sprays work, or should I hire a professional?
DIY sprays may temporarily reduce visible bugs, but typically fail to reach hidden eggs or deep infestations. Professionals use strategic, extensive treatments (heat/chemicals/freezing) that are far more reliable. Hiring experts significantly increases the chance of full eradication and preventing recurrence.
4. Should I remove a wasp nest myself?
It’s risky and potentially dangerous, especially with aggressive species like yellowjackets or hornets. If the nest is small, easily accessible, and you have proper gear, DIY at night may work. But for larger, hidden, or indoor nests or if anyone is allergic, professional removal is strongly advised.
5. What is the best time/method to remove a nest?
Optimal time is early morning or late evening when wasps are less active. For small exposed paper wasp nests, physical removal or natural deterrents may work. For larger or hidden nests, use chemical sprays following PPE protocols or call professionals who ensure proper handling of aggressive species.
6. How can I deter wasps from returning?
Preventative steps: Keep garbage bins sealed, remove food and sweet scraps, seal cracks in siding or foundations, maintain yards, and plant repellent herbs like mint or citronella. Regularly inspect for early nest formation and remove small nests promptly.
7. How do I know if I have rodents in my home?
Common signs include rat-sized holes or burrows (2–4 in diameter), droppings (½ inch long), musky urine odor, gnaw marks on wires or wood, rub marks along walls, nests, and occasional daytime sightings.
8. What happens during a rodent inspection?
A technician inspects inside and outside the property, checking for entry points, droppings, nesting sites, gnaw marks, and structural vulnerabilities. They assess species (rats vs. mice) and recommend a tailored removal and prevention plan.
9. What is rodent-proofing and why is it important?
Rodent-proofing seals cracks, holes, and gaps to block re-entry after removal. It’s crucial for long-term control, preventing reinfestation. Techniques include durable materials, smoke testing to pinpoint seals, and structural repairs.
10. What solutions are recommended for commercial pest control?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the industry standard: combines regular site surveys, targeted treatments, non-chemical methods, monitoring systems (e.g., electronic fly units, rodent stations), and digital reporting. This proactive strategy helps manage current pests and prevent outbreaks .
11. What happens during the first commercial pest control visit?
The initial visit involves a thorough inspection to identify vulnerabilities, pest hot spots, and compliance risks. Based on findings, a customized IPM plan is set up. Subsequent visits focus on monitoring, maintenance treatments, and updates to facility managers—with reports and alerts as needed.
12. What should I look for when hiring a commercial pest control provider?
Key factors include: Accreditations (e.g., BPCA, NPTA), industry experience (especially in your sector), client reviews and references, guarantees or service-level agreements, and digital monitoring/reporting capabilities.
