Pest Control FAQs: Your Top 10 Questions, Answered by the Kind Pros
At Kind Pest Control, we understand that you may have questions about our services and how they impact your home and family. To help you feel informed and confident, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:
1. Is pest control treatment friendly for children and pets?
Absolutely. Your home’s protection is our number one priority. We use EPA-registered products and apply them with great care to minimize any risk. Our technicians are trained to follow strict safety protocols, and if you have specific concerns, we’re happy to tailor the treatment to fit your home and lifestyle.
2. How long does a typical pest control treatment take?
It depends on your home and the type of pests we’re addressing. Most initial visits take about 60 to 90 minutes, while follow-ups are typically 30 to 60 minutes. We’re always mindful of your time and do our best to work efficiently without cutting corners.
3. What if it rains after a treatment? Will it wash away the products?
No worries! Our treatments are designed to hold up in normal weather, including rain. Once the product has dried (usually within an hour), it sticks to surfaces and stays effective. If there’s a big downpour and you notice more pest activity afterward, just give us a call—we’ll come back and re-treat, free of charge.
4. Do I need to leave my home during the treatment?
Good news—you usually don’t have to go anywhere! Our team is trained to handle treatments effectively whether you’re home or not. If we ever recommend stepping out for a particular service, we’ll let you know ahead of time and make sure you’re fully prepared.
5. How soon will I see results after a treatment?
Some pests respond immediately, while others may take a few days—or even a couple of weeks—as the treatment takes effect. It’s common to see more pests at first as they come out of hiding. This just means the treatment is working! If things don’t settle down after a few weeks, let us know. We’ll gladly come back and check things out.
6. Are the products you use environmentally friendly?
Yes, we care deeply about the environment and your home. That’s why we follow integrated pest management (IPM) practices—focusing on prevention, using just the right amount of product, and always choosing eco-friendly and effective solutions that are better for your space and the planet.
7. What pests are covered under your general pest control service?
Our general pest control covers common intruders like ants, cockroaches, spiders, and even rodents. Some specialty pests—like termites or bed bugs—require a custom treatment plan. If you’re unsure what’s bugging you, we’re happy to help you identify it and find the best solution.
8. How often should I have my home treated for pests?
To keep your home protected year-round, we recommend either bi-monthly (every other month) or quarterly (every three months) services. Regular treatments help stop pests before they start and break the cycle of infestation.
9. What if I see pests between scheduled treatments?
No problem at all! We stand by our work with a re-service guarantee. If pests pop up between your scheduled visits, reach out and we’ll take care of it—at no additional cost.
