Pest control isn’t done just for your peace of mind. It’s vital to your health and safety, as many insects and rodents can carry diseases that are harmful to the health of your family and pets.

Whether you’re a renter or a homeowner, it’s important to make pest control a part of your routine as you maintain your residence. You should factor the cost of pest control into your annual costs.

You may be thinking, “Well, I don’t have an infestation or bug problem.” However, that can quickly change and often at no fault of your own. There are many factors that come into play, including your building type, location, weather and more. So, it’s better to be proactive rather than reactive.

How often should pest control be done?

There are a variety of pest control plans available, typically on a quarterly or annual basis. You can also request a one-time pest control service if you want to test it out (although this isn’t the most cost-effective compared to regular visits).

However, most pest control services recommend quarterly visits (a minimum of four times – once every three months) spread out throughout the year to ensure you’re fully protected from pests and rodents.

Normally customers who opt for quarterly visits will work with a technician to determine a schedule that makes sense for them.

“Our technicians come out to your home quarterly to inspect and adjust your pest control treatments as needed. This ensures that certain seasonal pests don’t thrive in or around your home as seasons and temperatures change.
