• How often should I have pest control services done?
  Bugs are a big part of life in Missouri. Since pests never stop looking for food and harborage, and pest control products only provide temporary results, services work best when performed on a regular schedule. Six times per year (every other month) performed about eight to 10 weeks apart is ideal for most customers.

• • Do I have to be home when services are done?
    No. Most of our pest and termite control programs are designed to control pests from the outside before they get in. This means fewer pesticides used inside the home and less scheduling hassles for you.

Upon learning that mosquitoes have invaded your home and the space around it, you likely want to remove them as soon as possible.
