2. How often do you recommend pest protection service visits?
The optimal frequency depends on several factors:
- For most Brunswick County homes, quarterly service (every three months) provides effective year-round protection against common pests
- Properties near water or wooded areas may benefit from bi-monthly service (six times per year)
- Restaurants and food service businesses typically require monthly service
- Seasonal properties like vacation homes may need adjusted schedules based on usage patterns
During your initial consultation, we'll recommend the service frequency that best suits your property's specific needs.
3. Is pest protection service safe for my family and pets?
Yes. We prioritize safety in all our pest protection services:
- We use targeted application methods that minimize product exposure
- All products are EPA-registered and applied according to label instructions
- We select the least toxic, most effective options for each situation
- Special precautions are taken around children's play areas, pet areas, and food preparation surfaces
- Our technicians provide clear instructions about any waiting periods or precautions after treatment
If you have specific concerns about children, pets, or sensitive individuals, please discuss them with your technician so we can accommodate your needs.
4. What happens between scheduled protection service visits?
Your pest protection plan includes coverage between regular visits:
- If you notice pest activity between scheduled services, contact us for free service calls (included with your protection plan)
- We'll respond promptly to address the issue
- Your technician will determine if the problem requires additional treatment or adjustment to your protection plan
- We'll document the issue to help prevent similar problems in the future
This continuous coverage ensures you're protected year-round, not just on service days.
5. Do I need to prepare my home for pest protection service visits?
Minimal preparation is typically required for routine protection services:
- Remove pets or keep them secured during treatment
- Provide access to key areas around the home's perimeter
- Clear excessive clutter from problem areas if possible
- Communicate any new pest activity or concerns to your technician
For initial services or when addressing specific pest issues, additional preparation may be recommended. Your technician will provide clear instructions before your service.
6. How do seasonal changes affect pest protection in Brunswick County?
Our coastal Carolina climate creates year-round pest pressure with seasonal shifts:
- Spring (March-May): Termite swarms emerge, ant activity increases, and overwintering pests become active
- Summer (June-August): Peak season for mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches, with increased ant pressure
- Fall (September-November): Rodents and spiders become more noticeable as they seek shelter for winter
- Winter (December-February): Despite mild temperatures, pests continue to seek indoor shelter
Our protection plans adjust to these seasonal patterns, changing treatment approaches and focus areas throughout the year to maintain continuous protection.
7. Can you provide pest protection for vacation rental properties?
Yes! We offer specialized protection plans for vacation rental properties:
- Flexible scheduling to work around guest bookings
