Are pest control methods safe for my family?

Modern pest control is built around your household's safety: reduced-impact products, precise placement, and an approach that minimizes exposure.

How safety is built in.

The products used in professional pest control are EPA-registered and applied strictly per label, which sets the rates and placements that keep them safe around people and pets. Precise placement - in cracks, voids, and bait stations rather than open surfaces - keeps treatment where pests travel and away from where your family lives.

The bigger safety gain is the Integrated Pest Management approach, which leads with prevention and exclusion so chemical treatment is the targeted exception. We walk you through what we are using and where during the inspection, so nothing about the treatment is a mystery.
