Frequently Ask Questions

1. I have indoor and outdoor pets. Will my pets be safe with the treatments that you do?

The treatments are not harmful to your pets, but if liquid applications are made you are required to stay off of the treated areas until they are completely dry.

2. I am finding little piles of "sawdust" under my window sills. Can you find the out what the problem is?

The problem would appear to be Carpenter Ants nesting in this area. The "sawdust" like material that you see is wood the ants are removing to enlarge the nest for a growing colony.

3. Do I have to leave my home when you do termite work?

No, it is not necessary to leave. We use low odor products, therefore there are no offensive odors that require you to stay away for a period of time.

4. I hear something running in my attic and I haven't seen what it is. Can you help me?

Yes, an inspection of the outside and attic can usually determine what has invaded your home.

5. How often do you need to treat my home so that I have a pest free home?

Quarterly treatments are recommended for most homes. However, some homes surrounded by adverse conditions may require more frequent treatments.

6. How do I know if I have termites?

Termites remain hidden within wood and are often difficult to detect. However, subterranean termites may be detected by the presence of winged reproductives, mud tubes, and wood damage. An inspection by a trained Pest Management Professional will determine if termites are present.

7. Do I have to sign a contract with your company?

No, you are not required to sign a contract with our company. We do not try to sell you services that you do not want or need.

8. Do you tell me what it will cost to treat my home before you come out?

At Stewart Pest Control, we do not quote prices over the phone because every home or business is different. We prefer to perform an inspection, determine what pests are causing you problems and then recommend a treatment.

9. Do you give free estimates?

Yes, we will perform an inspection and give a free estimate.

10. I have severe allergies. Will treating my home for pests affect me?

An outside perimeter treatment with no chemicals applied inside of your home may be an option to consider to minimize your exposure to the product.

11. How far ahead do I need to schedule for my home to be treated?

In emergency situations we usually try to provide same day service. Usually, if you call to schedule an appointment with us, we will be able to provide service within a week or less.
