Frequently Asked Questions
Q - How much does it cost to treat my house for termites, ants, etc.
A - Not as much as you think. Most residential pest
programs cost less than $500 for an entire year of service. Controlling
insects that can
damage the wood in your home is a little more difficult to estimate.
Prices may vary from $300-$3000, depending on the size of your home and
the severity
of the infestation. PermaTreat offers a free inspection to determine
how an Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM) can protect your family
and
home. Speak with one of our customer service reps
who can help customize a pest control program for you.
Q - Why can't you just come out once and get rid of all my pests?
A - If only it was that easy! The fact of the matter
is, once pests are sighted, it might mean the population is out of control.
When a homeowner
sees one mouse, or one cockroach, or one silverfish, it is usually an
indication that the infestation has grown large enough for pests to seek
new nesting
sites or food sources. If an Integrated Pest Management Program is not
completed, the source of the infestation will continue to produce new
pests. PermaTreat's
Pest Protection Plan provides year-round pest maintenance with only four
scheduled visits per year to minimize applications, but includes free
callback service.
Q - What are the effects of long-term exposure to the
pesticides you use?
A - New formulations, such as baits, have nearly
eliminated airborne pesticides indoors. Liquids and aerosols used by
PermaTreat have minimal
amounts of active ingredients. In fact, the inert ingredients in some "over-the-counter" pest
control products are more harmful to homeowners and the environment than
anything a Pest Management Professional (PMP) would consider using. Let
our expertly trained technicians find a treatment that works best for
you and your family.
Q - Will your treatment hurt my pets?
A - No. The danger to your pets lies in not having
a PermaTreat IPM program. Fleas, ticks, bees and rodents, can be a problem
for your
pet as well
as your family. State-licensed and trained professionals at PermaTreat
work quickly and efficiently to be sure that the treatment
we perform
targets the pests only. The safety of our customers and their pets
is our biggest concern.
