Your Guide to Murfreesboro Pest Control Services: What to Expect

Sometimes the unknown can cause us to avoid doing things we know we should do. We put off an important doctor’s appointment because we think ignoring our symptoms will make them go away or we don’t pursue a new job opportunity because we can’t fully predict how it will change our current situation.

Doing things we need to do can be easier if we know what to expect. This is true for many things in life, including pest control. Knowing what will be required of you before, during, and after a pest control treatment can help you understand your role in the process, how the process works, and how everything works together to make it successful. This guide to pest control in Murfreesboro includes helpful tips about what to expect and a post-service checklist to take the unknown out of the process.

What to Expect: How to Prepare for a Pest Control Treatment In Your Murfreesboro Home

Getting ready for a pest control treatment will require different things depending on what pests are in your house. For example, the treatment for mice looks a lot different from the treatment for termites. For a general pest control treatment in your Murfreesboro home, there is not much you will need to do to prepare for your service:

• Pest History: Ensure that someone is available at the time of the service. Your technician will have questions that will help them better serve your needs. Knowing when the issue first began, what you’ve tried to do to correct it, and where you’ve noticed pests will help us provide you with the best service.

• Notify of Special Concerns: Prior to your service, or when your All-American technician arrives at your house, mention any pets, allergies, or sensitive areas that require special attention. 

• Access: We often need access to areas of your home that you may not use often, such as the attic or crawl space. Providing access to these areas, as well as unlocking gates or doors, will help keep your pest control service on track. We also request that you secure your pets prior to our treatment. 

• Minimal Prep: Most of our services do not require prep work from our customers. If you need an indoor flea treatment or a treatment for pantry pests, there is a bit of prep work necessary, and we ask that you do not use household cleaners on the pests. This allows us to better inspect the affected areas and allows the materials to work more effectively. Learn more here.

What to Expect During Your Pest Control Service

If you are having our Perimeter Plus pest control service performed, most, if not all, of the treatment will take place outside. 

• When we visit your home, we’ll start by removing spider webs around the exterior of your house up to 20 feet high. 

• We’ll then create a protective barrier around the perimeter of your house by treating all around the foundation, windowsills, pest entry points, splash blocks, garbage cans, and door openings. 

• In the warm months, we’ll finish with a misting treatment around your yard to keep mosquitoes at bay. 

• In the winter, we’ll do a granule application for an extra layer of pest protection.

If an interior treatment is needed, we’ll also perform that treatment during our routine visits. 

For specialized treatments, we’ll go over the process with you prior to performing it. Our customers’ satisfaction is our priority, so feel free to ask questions and voice concerns, either prior to, during, or after a treatment. We are happy to discuss our treatments with you and answer any questions you have.

Post-Service Checklist: Ensuring Long-Term Pest Control Success In Your Murfreesboro Home

When you’ve had a pest control treatment performed, you want it to work! There are several things you can do to improve the efficacy of the treatment.

• Avoid Treatment Area Until It Dries: This typically takes a few hours.

• Wait Before Cleaning Treated Areas: Avoid mopping or wiping down treated surfaces until pests are eliminated.

• Monitor for Pest Activity: Some pests may appear after treatment as they are being eliminated. If the activity doesn’t dissipate after a couple of weeks, contact All-American. We will provide realistic expectations for your treatment results specific to each pests and check back with you on results and next steps.

• Keep Up with Routine Prevention: The best thing you can do to keep pests out of your house is to make sure you’re in a routine of pest prevention. Proper sanitation, moisture control, and decluttering can all help maintain a pest-free home. 

• Ongoing Protection: Regular treatments provide ongoing protection. With All-American’s home pest control, you won’t have to worry about forgetting to schedule an appointment. We’ll get you set up on a routine treatment schedule so you don’t have to think about it.
