How do I know if I need a pest treatment?

The answer to this question is pretty simple. If you see just a few ants or just one mouse, those few ants or one mouse have a whole bunch of buddies lurking where you can’t see them. If you have even slightly visible pest residue, then you have a problem. Left untreated, you could have a crisis.

What are your environmentally sound alternatives?

We use state-of-the-art low toxicity materials that are much less harmful to people, pets, and their environments than what is currently offered by the majority of the pest control market.

I have a whole bunch of pests and a lot of them. Do you have a solution?

If you have a feeling one treatment isn’t enough to keep your house pest-free, we offer a couple of different options, including plans customized for your unique situation. Visit our Residential Protection Plan page, or call our friendly staff and they will help you come up with the best solution to match your needs. Learn about many of the pests that we help control in our communities at our Bug Library.

Do we need to leave the premises for treatment?

Because we use low toxicity materials, you can usually stay home during the treatment. Flea, Bed Bug and Roach treatments require all children, adults and pets to vacate the property for 4 hours. Ants, mice, termites, and just about everything else can be taken care of while you’re relaxing on the living room couch.

Do the materials you use have a bad odor?

No! We use only low toxicity pest control materials that are virtually odorless. No longer will a nasty, lingering odor remind you that your house received a pest control treatment.

Do you warranty your work?

We stand behind all of our work. Should any problems arise within a reasonable amount of time after the completion of the job, we will return for no extra charge, completely hassle-free. We put our customers first, it’s been this way for more than 45 years when Dave started Dave’s Pest Control.
