PRIOR TO TREATMENT INSIDE THE HOME:

  • Reduce clutter in the entire residence, especially the infested areas.
  • If there are any large or heavy items in the infested areas, please remove them in order to give better access to our technician for the treatment.
  • We may need access to the attic or basement areas where possible.
  • If we have to fog or spray, please be aware you will need to leave your home for 6-8hrs.

PRIOR TO TREATMENT INSIDE THE HOME:

  • If possible remove everything touching the external walls of the house (outside).
  • No firewood, lumber, old tree stumps, or any large items within two feet of the building.
  • All vegetation and tree branches should be two feet away from the walls.
  • No soil up against the siding or foundation of house if possible.
