How long does it take the treatment to work?

What happens if it rains after my service?

Exterior treatments dry within 1-2 hours. Once the material dries, rain will not wash it away. If rain is predicted all day, we do have a specialized treatment that we can do instead. We also have our 100% service satisfaction guarantee, so if you start to see activity or feel the treatment was not as effective, we can go back out and treat again.

Are both the interior and exterior of my home covered?

After the initial appointment, we will treat exterior only unless you start seeing activity inside the home, then we would gladly retreat the interior

Is there any notification before services are performed?

Yes! We will notify you by email a few days prior to service. You may also opt in to text message or phone call notifications.
