frequently asked questions
We aim to deliver results as quickly as possible! You should start seeing a reduction in pest activity within one to two days after service. However, certain pests may take longer to fully eliminate. It’s normal to notice a slight increase in activity immediately after treatment—don’t worry! This means the treatment is working by flushing pests out of hiding. Remember, your general pest control service is warrantied, so we’ve got you covered.
Absolutely! We believe that family comes first, and your safety is our top priority. The products we use are safe for children and pets, ensuring your home remains comfortable and pest-free. We only use the highest-quality, industry-approved treatments to effectively protect your home without compromising your family’s well-being.
Pests can enter through small cracks and crevices around your home. Common pest-conducive conditions include overgrown shrubs, tree branches touching your home, firewood piles, and clogged gutters. Keeping these areas well-maintained reduces the likelihood of pests finding a way inside.
At Adams Pest Control, we inspect your home at every service visit to identify how and why pests are entering. After identifying the source, we create a customized treatment plan tailored to your home to keep pests out for good.
This is one of our most frequently asked questions! The good news is that rain or snow rarely affects our treatments—in fact, in some cases, they actually enhance the service!
We use granular treatments that target insects living in your yard. These granules are activated by moisture and provide a deep soil treatment to eliminate pests at the source, stopping them before they reach your home. So, don’t worry—your pest control service remains effective, rain or shine!
Yes! Pest control is essential year-round, including during the winter. While you may notice fewer flying insects, overwintering pests such as stink bugs, spiders, and rodents become more active inside homes. The warmth of your home attracts these pests, making it critical to maintain a strong exterior barrier and customized interior treatment.
Rodents, for example, are known to carry diseases like Hantavirus and Salmonella—so keeping them out is crucial. With year-round pest control, Adams Pest Control ensures your family stays safe and comfortable 365 days a year.
We love this question! At Adams Pest Control, we believe in working as a team with our clients. Preventing pests starts with simple home maintenance habits, such as:
- Keeping food sealed in containers and sweeping regularly.
- Storing pet food properly instead of leaving it out.
- Landscaping maintenance, such as mowing the lawn, removing woodpiles, and cleaning gutters to eliminate pest-friendly conditions.
