S&S Pest Control

  • How long does pest control take?

    The duration of pest control treatments varies depending on factors such as the type and severity of the infestation. A standard service can range from 1 to 4 hours, or in some cases, a full day. Our technicians will provide an estimated timeline after conducting an initial inspection of your property.
  • When can I clean after pest control?

    It's important to wait for the period specified by our technicians before cleaning treated areas. This allows the applied products to work effectively. Our team will provide specific guidance on when it's safe to resume your regular cleaning activities following the treatment.
  • Is pest control safe for my family and pets?

    At S&S Pest Control, we prioritize the safety of your family and pets. We employ pest control methods and products that are approved and pose minimal risk to humans and animals. Our technicians adhere to strict safety protocols throughout the treatment process to ensure the well-being of your household.
  • How much does pest control cost?

    Pest control costs vary based on several factors, including the pest type, infestation severity, and treatment area size. Basic services for common pests like ants or roaches may be less expensive, while treatments for more complex issues such as termites or bed bugs can be considerably higher. We provide customized quotes based on your specific situation.
  • What types of pests do you handle?

    Our services cover a broad spectrum of pests, including various insects (such as ants, cockroaches, and spiders), rodents (mice and rats), bed bugs, stinging insect hives, and even nuisance wildlife like raccoons and squirrels.
  • Can I remove a beehive or wasp nest on my own?

    We strongly advise against attempting to remove beehives or wasp nests independently. This task can be hazardous and is best left to trained professionals equipped with proper protective gear and specialized tools.
  • What happens to the bees after you remove the hive?

    When possible, we collaborate with local beekeepers or humane removal partners to relocate honeybee hives, ensuring the preservation of these important pollinators.
  • How do I know if I have bed bugs?

    Common indicators of bed bug presence include itchy red bites on your skin, small blood stains on sheets, and tiny dark spots (bed bug droppings) on mattresses or furniture.
  • What's the difference between chemical and heat treatment for bed bugs?

    Chemical treatments involve the application of insecticides over multiple sessions to eliminate bed bugs. Heat treatments, on the other hand, raise the room temperature to lethal levels for bed bugs in a single session. Our experts will recommend the most suitable approach based on your specific situation.
  • How long does it take to get rid of an infestation?

    The time required to eliminate an infestation varies. Minor issues may be resolved in a single visit, while more severe or persistent infestations might necessitate follow-up treatments over several weeks. Our team will provide a more accurate timeline after assessing your specific situation.
