How often will I need treatments?

Treatment frequency depends on your property's specific situation, the severity of any infestation, and your risk tolerance. We'll recommend a schedule that works for you—some customers need monthly visits during peak season, others do well with quarterly service.

How long should kids and pets wait after treatment?

As a general guideline, children and pets should wait 30 to 60 minutes before re-entering treated areas, or until the product is completely dry. We use tested and approved products applied by licensed technicians following all label directions.

How long does it take to see results?

Most customers see significant improvement within the first week. Complete elimination depends on the severity of the infestation, but our follow-up visits ensure the problem is fully resolved.

Do you offer a warranty on your services?

Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee. If millipedes return between scheduled treatments, we will re-treat at no additional cost.

What should I do to prepare for treatment?

We'll provide specific preparation instructions based on your treatment. Generally, this includes clearing access to areas being treated and following any pet or family member guidelines we provide.
