HUB Pest Solutions

  • How long does pest control take?

    The duration of pest control services varies depending on the specific situation. Some treatments may be completed in as little as 30 minutes, while others could take up to 8 hours. Factors that influence the time required include the type of pest, the severity of the infestation, and the size and complexity of the property being treated.
  • How long does it take for pest control to work?

    Typically, you'll notice a significant reduction in pest activity within one to two days after treatment. However, the exact timeframe can vary based on the type of pest and the treatment method used. In some cases, you might initially see an increase in pest activity, which is actually a positive sign. This means the treatment is working, disrupting the pests' habits and causing them to seek new habitats. If pest activity persists beyond two weeks, it's advisable to contact us for a follow-up assessment.
  • Is pest control really necessary?

    Professional pest control is often essential for effective and lasting results. While do-it-yourself methods can be tempting, most homeowners lack the expertise, time, and specialized equipment needed to address pest issues comprehensively. If you're experiencing pest problems, it's advisable to consult with our experts at HUB Pest Solutions for a tailored solution.
  • How are pests getting in my home?

    Pests can enter homes through various small openings and cracks. Ants, roaches, and mice can squeeze through incredibly tiny spaces. To minimize pest intrusion, it's important to maintain your property's landscaping. Keep branches, shrubs, firewood piles, and decorative rocks away from your home's exterior. Regularly inspect and maintain these areas to prevent pests from using them as entry points. Our team at HUB Pest Solutions can help identify potential problem areas during our inspections.
  • Can I get rid of pests on my own?

    While there are temporary DIY solutions available, they often provide short-term relief at best. Over-the-counter products typically require multiple applications and may not address the root cause of the infestation. Professional pest control services offer more comprehensive and lasting solutions. Our certified technicians use EPA-approved products and techniques to effectively manage pest issues while ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
  • Is pest control safe for kids and pets?

    At HUB Pest Solutions, we prioritize the safety of our customers and the environment. We use EPA-approved, biodegradable materials that are safe for use in sensitive areas like schools and hospitals. Our technicians are thoroughly trained in safety protocols and industry guidelines. We're committed to providing effective pest control solutions that are safe for families, pets, and the environment.
  • How long should pest control last?

    The most potent pest control products typically remain effective for 60-90 days before naturally biodegrading. Weather conditions can impact treatment longevity, but often less than you might expect. For instance, our barrier sprays often remain effective even after rain. Our yard treatments use water-activated granules, so rainfall can actually enhance their effectiveness. If you notice pest activity returning before your next scheduled treatment, we offer complimentary re-service visits.
  • Is preventative pest control necessary for my home and business?

    Preventative pest control is crucial for maintaining a pest-free environment. Insects and other pests will inevitably attempt to invade your space, and having a protective barrier in place is the most effective way to keep them out. Our preventative treatments create a protective shield around your property, addressing potential pest issues before they become problematic. We're always available to answer questions and provide guidance on maintaining a pest-free home or business.
