Beware of Discount Pest Control
These companies use low quality or low concentration surface sprays with only 10 to 14 days of protection.
The tip off is when they offer to do a “follow-up spray” two weeks after the first treatment. While this may seem extra thorough, fleas may remain hidden and continue to emerge for up to four weeks and new eggs can hatch up to two weeks after that point.
By this time the cheap treatment will have long worn off and the new population of fleas will be free to re-infest your home.
These budget services can breed pesticide resistance in the bed bugs in your home, making future treatments increasingly challenging.
