When can I return to my home after fumigation?

What does "hospital grade" mean?

So, "hospital grade" refers to treatments that are safe for sensitive locations like health care facilities.

How do I know if I have flying ants or termites?
It can be challenging to tell these pests apart. However, there are three identifiers to look for. First, termite's wings are symmetrical and extend past their abdominal section, while ant's wings are unequal in length and end at the tip of their abdomen. Second, termite antennae are bead-like and straight, while ant antennae elbow out from the middle. Last, termites have straight bodies, while ants have narrow waists.

I have treated my home with store-bought sprays, but I still have a horrible flea problem every summer. Is there anything else I
Fleas are a common problem during the summer, and treatment for these pests requires more than just spraying inside your home. Flea removal and prevention usually involves treating your yard, home, and pets. The best way to go about treating a flea infestation is by contacting pest control experts. Although spraying on your own may seem logical, it won't eradicate the problem. Experts treat to break the life cycle of pests, which will keep them from reinfesting.

How do I know if I have fleas in my home?
Check for small bites on your skin, specifically around your ankles. Also, examine your carpet by passing over it with a white rag, and inspect your pets with assistance from a veterinarian.
-
Is it true that one cockroach can be an indication of many more?
Yes, cockroaches travel in packs, which means the possibility of having more than one inside your home is high. Insects, like cockroaches, carry diseases that are dangerous to people. Unfortunately, our homes and businesses can attract these pests, often providing easy access to food.
