You may not have to leave your house, depending on the type of program. If we are conducting interior applications, we ask that you leave for a few hours. Infants, seniors, and people with asthma or high sensitivities may choose to leave for longer periods. Our technicians will inform you of special instructions, or you can call our office anytime with your questions.
Depending on the program and your structure, control is not always immediate. Our products have residuals and continue to work for long periods. This residual reduces the pest population. The products do their best work in the evenings or on cooler days. On hot and warm fall days, activity around your home may be abundant. As evening approaches and insects seek out places to hide, the product then does its best work. A simple test to show the products effectiveness would be to conduct an exterior inspection after a high activity day. Look for dead insects around the base of your home or near the foundation.
First consult your veterinarian about effective flea treatment and control for your pet. This will help treat your pet's current situations and help prevent future flea infestations. Next, since flea eggs dropped from your pet's fur, fleas have made themselves at home in your carpets and furniture. You need professional intervention to break their fast-growing reproductive cycle, which takes as little as 2 weeks. Advance Pest Control Services finds all the crevices where flea larvae prefer to hide before they turn into adult fleas that start the problem all over again.
Exterior windows can be cleaned anytime after application. For interior windows it is recommended to avoid cleaning for 2-3 weeks.
