Common questions about pest control

Straight answers to the questions people ask most.

Frequently asked

Do you do the pest control yourselves?

No. This is a referral and advertising service. Calls are connected to a qualified pest control provider serving the Lexington area, and any work and pricing are arranged directly with that provider.

Is the treatment safe around children and pets?

For a Lexington-area visit — whether it is general seasonal work, a wasp nest, or the year-round subterranean-termite protection many Bluegrass homes already carry — the referred provider should say what they will apply and whether children or pets need a short re-entry window. Ask before they treat; a good one answers plainly.

How often is recurring service?

Recurring service in Lexington is usually quarterly or every other month so it tracks the central Kentucky rotation already on this site: ants, spiders, and wasps and hornets in the warm months, mice and rats moving indoors in fall, plus the year-round subterranean-termite risk across the Bluegrass. A one-time treatment can still cover a single nest or a contained problem.

Do I really need termite protection?

Subterranean termites are an established, year-round risk across central Kentucky, and many Bluegrass-area homes carry ongoing termite protection for that reason. An inspection tells you where you actually stand.

Can't I just handle it with store-bought spray?

For a single wasp nest, sometimes. For ants, rodents, termites, or bed bugs, do-it-yourself methods usually treat what you see and miss the source, which is why the problem returns.
