Six times the protection your neighbors get

It depends case-by-case. Certain pests take longer to deal with than others, and certain homes are larger and more complicated to service than others. Some General Pest Treatments can take as little as 20-30 minutes while others like extensive Termite Treatments may take up to 8 hours depending on the severity of the issue and type of treatment that is needed.

Stomp Pest Control’s first priority is the safety and happiness of our customers, as well as being as environmentally friendly as possible.  All of our materials are EPA approved and biodegradable and all technicians have been thoroughly trained on industry safety regulations and guidelines. The products we use are the same products that are used on sensitive areas, such as schools and hospitals. We take pride in providing pet-friendly and kid-friendly pest solutions to our clients.

The strongest products on the market last 60-90 days. After that, they biodegrade and become a part of the natural environment; otherwise, they wouldn’t be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  The weather also affects the efficacy of our treatments – but not as much as you’d think. Next time it rains, look at the base of your home; chances are, it’s still dry.  This means the barrier spray is still going strong.  And for our yard treatment, the granules we use are water activated, so the rain is actually beneficial.

But, at times, the products do wear off before we come out next, so this is where a free re-service will come in handy.

First off, it’s important to have a clutter-free and clean home. Be sure to check any areas that could be used as a hideout for ants, mosquitos, cockroaches, spiders, wasps and bees, and mice and rats.

Your home’s countertops should be free of dishes, food, and any appliances where pests can hide. Cover any open food and store it in a safe place. If you have children, ensure their crib/mattress and toys are protected and stored in a safe place as well. Please keep in mind, children tend to put objects in their mouths, often without the parent(s) knowing.

Mopping and scrubbing any tile or hardwood surfaces never hurts, and can help rid of any pest eggs. Same goes for vacuuming; get rid of any pest eggs before your home is serviced to avoid unexpected and additional services after the fact!

Something that’s often not thought of: cleaning under and around any movable appliances, such as microwaves, freezers, refrigerators, storage units, etc. Appliances such as those are known to be a comfortable vacation area for pests. Another tip is to be sure to empty and clean around your indoor garbage can regularly and before service so it doesn’t become a pest hideout.

If you have found proof of intruding pests such as feces, damaged property, or exoskeletons, be sure to fill in your pest exterminator to ensure the area(s) is appropriately examined and evaluated. Be on the lookout for any water leaks or moist areas of your home, as pests have been known to flock to those areas relentlessly.

Because all scenarios differ, there may be additional ways to prepare your home for pest control services. That is why it’s important to communicate as effectively as possible with during your free pest inspection.
