How much is pest control? And the other questions people ask

Not as a flat yes, because no pesticide label says that. What we do instead follows the US EPA, Citizen's Guide to Pest Control and Pesticide Safety: before we start we tell you which product goes where and show you its label; food, dishes, pet bowls and toys are moved or covered first; baits go in cracks and in stations a child or pet cannot reach; and children and pets stay out of a treated area until it is dry and for the time the label states, which we tell you on the day. If anyone, or a pet, touches or swallows a treated surface or a bait, follow the first aid on the label, wash skin with soap and water, and call a doctor or your vet with the product name.

Most treatments take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size of your property and the severity of the infestation.

For long-term protection, we recommend quarterly (every 3 months) treatments. However, some properties may require monthly or bi-annual visits depending on the pest situation.

You need to stay out of the treated area, and children and pets need to stay out until it is dry and for the time the label states, as the US EPA, Citizen's Guide to Pest Control and Pesticide Safety advises. For a single kitchen or a few cracks that is one room; for misting, fogging or a bed bug treatment it can be the whole house. We tell you which before we start and give you the re-entry time on the day.

No. Our treatments are designed to control pests without causing damage to your home, furniture, or business equipment.

Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the type of pests, and the severity of the infestation. We provide free inspections and quotes so you know the exact cost before we begin.

There is no single figure, and any site quoting one is quoting for a property that is not yours. Five things move the number: how big the property is, which pest it is, how far the infestation has gone, whether it is a home or a business, and whether you want one visit or a plan. Send those five and you get a real quote back.

We do not publish a rate card. Termite soil treatment on a standing house and a gel treatment for cockroaches in one kitchen are different jobs with different materials, and averaging them would mislead everybody. The inspection and the quote are free, so the honest way to find out is to ask.

Tell us as soon as you see them. Whether a follow-up visit is included depends on the treatment, so ask for it to be written into your quote before any work is agreed.

We do not call any pesticide eco-friendly or harmless. What we can do is use less of it: sealing entry points, traps, and baits in cracks and stations first, with sprays kept to limited areas such as cracks, which is the order the US EPA, Citizen's Guide to Pest Control and Pesticide Safety recommends. Ask which product goes where and we show you its label.

Send the pest and the town through the form, say it is urgent, and we will tell you the earliest visit we can offer.

We cover Pampanga, Bulacan, Bataan, Tarlac, and Olongapo, including nearby towns and cities in Central Luzon.

No. Plenty of messages start with scratching in the ceiling at night or small piles of what looks like sawdust, and that is enough to work with. Describe what you have seen or heard and where, and the inspection settles the rest.

We’re here to help. If you have other concerns, feel free to contact us directly with your question or to schedule a free inspection.
