Prompt, Qualified Pest Control Services
One of the most important things you can do when dealing with pests is to act fast: the longer you let them exist in your home, the more damage they’ll do, and the bigger the infestation will grow. When you team up with us, you’ll have the benefit of our rapid service, so you won't have to wait for treatments or results. Our pest control in Florida is broken down into easy steps:
- An initial inspection and treatment designed to diagnose specific issues and gain control of the initial infestation. Our team will treat the attic, the inside of the home, garage, and screen rooms. A full perimeter treatment around the structure is included for webstering and ant prevention.
- Follow-up applications are typically performed 2-4 weeks after the initial application to ensure control of any possible remaining infestation.
- Maintenance applications are then performed every two months or as scheduled and are all performed on the exterior of the structure. In some cases PPC (Perimeter Pest Control) is not possible; in turn, IPM (Interior Pest Management) will be used. The application to be used will be determined by our local exterminator.
- Services are warranted between applications. Carpenter, Pharaoh, Ghost, White Footed, and Big Headed ants, German Roaches, and Fleas are not covered by our General Insect Control program. Your home may have unique needs and need a more advanced clean-out. Please contact us for a free estimate or more information.
- Ongoing exterior perimeter treatments to maintain control of any future pest issues.
Family-and-Pet-Friendly Pest Treatments
It can be challenging to find eco-friendly pest control. Many options on the market utilize toxic products that can risk your health, your pets, and our environment, and local wildlife. You can put that worry aside when you call up the experts at Tony’s Pest Control. From removal to prevention, our exterminators treat bugs with environmentally friendly, safe products that are not harmful to your pets or children.
How Are Treatments Applied?
Your recurring treatments are performed on the outside of your home and consist of approximately five steps:
- Removing spiders and webbing so that they do not entice other insects into your home.
- Spraying the structure and base of your home with a power perimeter sprayer.
- Placing baits around the perimeter to lure roaches and other invaders out of your home and prevent them from reentering.
- Applying a granular insecticide on the ground approximately 10 feet out from the structure to kill pests before they reach your home.
- Freezing wasp nests around the outside of your home.
Prepare for Your Treatment
We are often asked how to prepare for service. It is important to follow directions so you can get rid of bugs quickly. To make it more convenient we have added information on how to prepare for our service. We also provide information on what to expect and how to prevent future infestations.
It won’t take long for one of the exterminators to evaluate and inspect your house. However, you can take a few easy steps to make sure his visit is quick and efficient. Not following our preparation instructions and guidelines may result in additional treatments at your cost. Help us provide the best service by taking a closer look at our instructions.
