Yes. We use EPA-registered products and apply them in a way that minimizes exposure. We ask that children and pets stay out of treated areas for about 30 minutes until dry — after that, it's completely safe. We'll walk you through any specific precautions for your treatment before we start.

For most general pest treatments, no — you can stay home. We treat the exterior perimeter and targeted interior areas. For more intensive treatments like cockroach gel bait or bed bug treatment, we may ask you to vacate for a few hours. We'll always tell you in advance.

Most customers see a significant reduction in pest activity within 24–72 hours. With ants and cockroaches, activity may briefly increase right after treatment as pests are flushed out — that's normal and means it's working. Full results are typically visible within 1–2 weeks.

We stand behind our work. If pests return within 30 days of your treatment, we come back at no charge — no questions asked. Just call us and we'll schedule a follow-up visit.

In most cases, yes. We keep slots open for same-day service requests in the Appleton and Fox Valley area. Call us at (920) 555-0183 and we'll do our best to get someone out to you the same day, especially for urgent situations like wasps or rodents.

A standard general pest treatment takes 30–60 minutes for most homes. Rodent exclusion audits take longer — typically 60–90 minutes depending on the size and complexity of the property. Mosquito barrier spray treatments take about 20–30 minutes.

For interior treatments, we ask that you clear clutter from baseboards and under sinks, and put away any pet food or water bowls. For mosquito treatments, we ask that you close windows and doors during the application. We'll send you a prep checklist when you book.
