Q: How often should a Gettysburg home be treated?

Most Gettysburg homes run on a quarterly schedule, with the treatment shifting to match the season. The fall visit is the most important, because that is when rodents and overwintering pests move indoors.

Yes. We use EPA-registered products with posted re-entry times, and every plan is adjusted around children, pets, and sensitivities. Baits go in tamper-resistant stations out of reach of animals.

We treat the structure and the immediate yard, including the foundation line, the garage, the shed, and the entry points. The perimeter work is what keeps the pests from moving back in.

The inspection walks the interior, the foundation, the crawl space, and the attic, maps the active pressure, and produces a written quote. There is no charge and no obligation.
