In most cases, you can expect to see a significant and noticeable reduction in pest activity within one to two days. The exact timeframe depends on the pest we're dealing with along with the choice of materials necessary to provide the best long-term results.

Does the inside of the home need to be treated every service? No, it does not need to be treated every service. We only need to treat on the inside if there is an active pest issue and the client has requested it.

Most of our products will be dry with in 10 minutes to 1 hour, and if it is warmer it will dry faster. If this happens, wash your hands with soap and water. Our materials that we use are safer than most of our products under the kitchen sink.
