1. Can I spray and get rid of my pest problem?
While you can try DIY pest control methods, they often don’t provide the long-lasting results that professional services can. An exterminator uses professional-grade products and treatment techniques designed to target pests at the source, ensuring a more thorough solution. Additionally, pest control experts can assess your specific issue and recommend the most effective plan of action to prevent re-infestation.
2. Why should I hire a professional pest prevention firm?
Hiring a professional pest control firm ensures that you’re getting tailored solutions from experienced technicians. They can identify the specific type of pests affecting your property and apply the appropriate treatments. Additionally, professional firms can offer preventative measures to ensure long-term protection, safeguarding your home from future infestations. For example, a comprehensive termite control treatment plan not only addresses current issues but prevents potential damage to your property.

5. How soon can your exterminators come to my home?
We strive to offer fast, efficient service. Typically, we can schedule appointments the same day or the next day, depending on availability in your area. We understand that pest problems require urgent attention, and we prioritize quick response times to resolve your issue as soon as possible.
6. Do I have to leave my home when you provide service?
In most cases, you don’t need to leave your home. The products we use are colorless, odorless, and safe once they dry, which typically takes about 30 minutes. Our natural pest control options provide further peace of mind, offering effective pest solutions without harsh chemicals.
7. How soon before we can expect results?
The time it takes to see results depends on the type of pest, severity of the infestation, and the treatment plan. In many cases, you’ll start noticing a significant reduction in pests within a few days. Our goal is to provide quick, long-lasting relief from your pest problems with minimal disruption to your home.
8. Is a preventative plan necessary?
Yes, preventative plans are highly recommended to keep your home pest-free year-round. Regular inspections and treatments can identify emerging issues before they become major infestations. A comprehensive pest control plan can save you money and prevent property damage in the long run.
9. Do you offer pet-friendly pest control options?
Absolutely. We offer pet-friendly pest control treatments that are designed to minimize risks to your pets while still being highly effective against pests. Our technicians are trained to apply treatments carefully, ensuring a safe environment for your furry friends.
10. How long do regular pest treatments take?
The length of a regular treatment depends on the size of your property and the pests being treated. Typically, a general treatment takes around 30 to 60 minutes. Our technicians can provide a more accurate time estimate during your initial inspection.
11. What actions do I need to take prior to a regular pest maintenance visit?
Before a regular pest maintenance visit, it’s usually recommended to remove any food and water sources, clear clutter, and ensure that areas where pests are suspected are accessible to the technician. This allows our pest control team to work more efficiently.
12. How is Ivy Green Pest Control different from other local exterminators?
We stand out from other local pest control companies by focusing on personalized service, high-quality products, and long-term solutions. At Ivy Green Pest Control, we take pride in our fast response times, attention to detail, and customer-centric approach to every job.
13. I noticed more bugs than usual after my first treatment. Why is that?
It’s normal to see increased pest activity after the initial treatment. This is a sign that the treatment is working, as pests are being driven out of their hiding places. Within a few weeks, this activity will decrease as the treatment takes full effect. Regular follow-up treatments help maintain these protective barriers, ensuring a long-term solution.
14. Do I need an interior treatment every service?
While the exterior is typically the focus of regular treatments, we recommend an interior pest control treatment once or twice a year, especially if you’ve noticed activity inside. Indoor treatments tend to last longer since they aren’t exposed to the elements.
15. I signed up for quarterlies, why do you recommend a second treatment within 30 days?
The initial treatment is designed to target existing pests, but a follow-up treatment is recommended within 30-45 days to break up egg cycles and prevent further infestations. This step is essential for ensuring that pests don’t re-establish themselves in your home, especially with more persistent problems like termites, rodents, or mosquitoes.
16. What is termite control, and why do I need it?
Termites can cause extensive damage to your property if left untreated. Termite control involves inspecting and treating affected areas to eliminate termites and prevent future infestations. Professional termite treatment plans are essential for maintaining the structural integrity of your home.
17. How do you handle rodent infestations?
Our rodent removal services target both mice and rats using safe, humane methods. We first identify entry points and nesting areas, then implement effective trapping and exclusion techniques to ensure rodents don’t return.
18. What is mosquito control and why is it important?
Mosquitoes can be more than just a nuisance—they can carry harmful diseases. Our mosquito control services involve targeted treatments to reduce mosquito populations around your home, creating a safer outdoor environment for you and your family.
19. Do you offer natural pest control options?
Yes, we offer natural pest control treatments, which use environmentally friendly methods to manage pests. These treatments are effective while minimizing the use of harsh chemicals, making them safer for your family, pets, and the environment.
20. How do you prevent termites from returning after treatment?
After the initial termite treatment, we apply a preventive barrier around your home to stop termites from re-entering. Regular monitoring and inspections ensure that any new termite activity is detected and treated promptly.
