  • What is the lifecycle of a Mosquito?

    Female mosquitoes lay hundreds of eggs near water every few days. The eggs hatch within 48 hours, producing larvae that live in water and surface to breathe. After four molting stages, larvae become pupae, developing into adults over about four days. Adult mosquitoes focus on mating and feeding. Males live 3-5 days after mating, while females can survive for 1-2 months.
  • What is the lifecycle of a Tick?

    Ticks progress through four life stages over up to three years: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Each stage typically involves feeding on a different host. Larvae feed on small animals, then become nymphs that target larger hosts. Adult ticks seek their final host in fall. After feeding, males die while females survive winter, lay eggs in spring, and then die, completing the cycle.
  • What is the lifecycle of a Flea?

    Fleas undergo four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Females lay 4-8 eggs that hatch in 1-12 days. The larval stage lasts 4-18 days before entering the pupal stage, which can last from 3 days to a year. Upon emerging as adults, fleas begin seeking food sources. Warmer weather typically accelerates their development into adulthood.
  • Do you offer organic insect control?

    We provide two options for insect control. Our organic treatment uses 100% natural organic ingredients. We also offer a traditional treatment that incorporates a diluted amount of synthetic products into the organic treatment ingredients.
  • Is my program customizable?

    Our treatment programs are flexible. If you find the organic option ineffective, you have the option to switch to our traditional treatment upon request.
  • Do we get notified before a treatment is applied?

    We send an email reminder within 24 hours of scheduled treatment. Additionally, you can request a same-day text message from the technician.
  • What do I need to prepare for my service?

    To ensure an effective treatment, we recommend clearing yard debris, removing toys, and confining pets to a safe area. This preparation allows our technicians to work safely and efficiently. Typically, treatments take between 10-20 minutes.
  • Do I need to be home for the service?

    Your presence is not required during the service. After completion, we will leave a service form in your door or mailbox to confirm the treatment has been applied.
