The speed at which you see results will vary based on the individual pests threatening your home and the severity of the infestation. For instance, treatments for stinging insects will typically be effective almost immediately while pets that require baiting (such as rodents and ants) will take longer before visible results are apparent. However, the key benefit of having a professional residential pest treatment plan in place is the ability to stop infestations before they start. Treating new infestations before they have time to fester and grow into huge problems will enable the technician to address pest-conducive conditions around your home before they can become hot spots for pest activity.
