Question: My wife is pregnant.
Is your bug spray safe for her? Can she stay in the house while you spray? If not, how long must she be away?
ANSWER Families who are expecting or who have children often ask about the safety of insecticides that are used during pest control service. Technicians appreciate those concerns. They can customize treatments to accomodate individual sensitivities and keep homes pest free.
Since most pest problems begin outdoors, many homes receive routine treatment only on the outside. This prevents most pests from entering the home. If a pest is found inside, the technician can perform the specific treatment for that pest.
Technicians are able to customize treatment methods that will solve a particular pest problem with minimum risk to people, pets, or property.Each insecticide formulation is intended for a particular application.
Dusts and aerosol insecticides are intended to be applied into cracks and crevices. The treatment will be effective against pests, but there will be no residue on the surface for people tobe exposed to.
Baits that are used for cockroach and ant control are injected into cracks and crevices or put into plastic stations. The stations are placed out of reach of children or pets.
Insecticides that are intended for application to surfaces have specific directions on their labels. The directions require that people and animals stay off of the treated surface until the treatment has dried.
Modern insecticides have very little odor, however each person has a different sensitivity to odors. Technicians can customize treatments to accommodate individual sensitivities and keep homes pest free.
