Q: One pest company quoted $89 and another quoted $600 for the same termite inspection. Why?

The $89 fee is almost certainly a free/low-cost inspection used to generate a treatment quote — the real revenue comes from the treatment. The $600 may be from an independent inspector with no treatment services (less conflict of interest). For termite inspections, using a company separate from the one that will treat reduces the incentive to find problems. Independent WDO (wood-destroying organism) inspectors charge $75–$150 for unbiased reports.

Q: My neighbor has mice and I'm worried they'll spread to my house. How do I prevent this?

Mice move to where food and shelter are available. Prevention: seal all exterior gaps 1/4" or larger (steel wool + foam or caulk for small gaps; hardware cloth for larger openings), eliminate outdoor food sources (bird feeders, pet food), keep firewood away from the house, and reduce interior clutter. A preventive exterior perimeter treatment or monitoring stations from a pest control company can intercept them before they enter.

Q: Is pest control safe for my pets and children?

Modern pest control products, when applied correctly by a licensed technician, are generally safe once dry. The critical safety window is during application and for 1–4 hours after (varies by product). Ask your technician for the specific product's re-entry interval and Safety Data Sheet. For pets especially, ask about pet-safe formulations — most companies use targeted applications that minimize exposure.

Q: Bed bugs are back 3 weeks after treatment. Is the company responsible?

Most reputable bed bug treatment companies offer a guarantee and will re-treat at no charge within 30–90 days. Bed bug treatment failure is common with a single treatment — surviving eggs hatch 7–14 days after treatment. Two treatments spaced 2 weeks apart, or heat treatment (which kills all life stages in one visit), are the standard approaches. If the company won't honor a re-treatment guarantee, dispute the charge.

Q: Does homeowner's insurance cover termite damage?

No — standard homeowner's insurance excludes termite and pest damage, which is considered a maintenance issue. This is why termite warranty/prevention contracts (offered by pest companies) exist — they cover re-treatment and sometimes structural repair if termites are found. Annual termite inspections ($75–$150) can catch infestations before damage becomes severe.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

I see new bugs after a pest control treatment. Did it fail?

Often this is the treatment working. Many pesticides are repellents or slow-acting — insects flushed from harborage points become more visible before dying. You may see increased activity for 7–14 days after treatment. If you're still seeing the same pest population levels after 2–3 weeks, contact the company — most reputable pest control companies include a re-treatment guarantee.
