Request pest controlWhat it usually covers
Common crawling insects such as ants, roaches, spiders, silverfish and earwigs. Termites, bed bugs and rodents are usually separate services because they need different methods.
How a visit works
A technician walks the outside of the house, treats the foundation, entry points, eaves and areas where pests shelter, and checks inside where problems were reported. Many companies treat the exterior on regular visits and the interior only when needed.
One-time or ongoing?
A one-time treatment can deal with a specific problem. Quarterly or bimonthly plans suit homes that see pests through most of the year, which is common in a climate this warm.
What you can do
Seal gaps around pipes and doors, fix dripping faucets, store food in sealed containers, keep firewood and clutter away from the walls, and trim plants back from the siding.
Rental homes
Waco has a large rental market, with Baylor University's students and staff. Landlords and tenants should agree who arranges pest control and keep records of treatments.
Safety
Ask what products will be used and how long people and pets should stay off treated areas. See pets, children and pest treatments.
