Many homeowners ask us why they see bugs when they keep their homes clean? The reason is that not all pests can be deterred just by keeping a clean home. The problem is that pests constantly forge looking for food and water. Unfortunately, our homes make for the best nesting and food for these unwanted residents. Doing things like inspecting for pest activity and entry points can go a long way in keeping the pests outside where they belong. Caulking and sealing entry points around plumbing and wire entrances helps to greatly decrease activity.

Some homeowners have asked us, “If I live on a slab, do I need to worry about termites?” The answer is, yes! If you live on a slab, you are closer to the ground and cannot see under the slab floor or in the walls. In this situation, termites should be a concern and you should have some sort of preventative measures in place to deter them from taking residence.

Wondering why you can’t get rid of the ants in your kitchen? Ants can be difficult to get rid of because they are constantly forging, looking for food. So, in a situation where you are having trouble with ants, finding their entry points and baiting heavy outside is your best solution.

Many homeowners ask, “Why should I continue a pest maintenance program if I no longer see pests?” At Priority Pest, we suggest you always continue a pest maintenance plan even if you no longer see evidence of any pests. If you lapse in your pest control maintenance plan, the pests could decide to come back in, and having an infestation inside your home gives them a better chance to get a firm hold and cause more damage. Keeping pests out is easier and less expensive than letting an infestation re-occur. If the pests return, then you will have to re-treat and, if there is hesitation in addressing the problem, the infestation can become much worse.

For termites, a termite control maintenance plan is something you most definitely should have and want to keep current because this gives you a lot of advantages. At Priority Pest Services, we offer termite treatment and protection plans that include free yearly home termite inspections.

How long does it take to see results after a Priority Pest pest control treatment? The time will vary on how it takes to see results. Since it all depends on how bad the infestation, and other circumstances of your home, the time tends to vary. Regardless, typically, if you do not have a bad pest problem, then you should see results in as early as a month. On the other hand, if you have a more severe pest problem, it could take up to three months to see results. This also does not factor in whether the home owner, or resident, follows through with suggested efforts to remove, or eliminate the problem that attracted the pests, and follow preventative measures to deter any future pests.

Another thing to realize is that, many times, after a pest control treatment, you may notice the pest activity is worse. This is common since we actually treated right into where they are living and this usually disturbs and agitates the pests. Just as if someone sprayed into your home, you would come running out and go somewhere else, too. As for a termite treatment, right after the termiticide as been applied around your home, you may still see activity for up to 60 days. The reason being is that the termite treatment chemical is designed to be a slow kill on the termites, not a contact kill.
