What weather actually affects
| Treatment type | Rain effect |
|---|---|
| Interior crack & crevice / baits | Zero — interior unaffected |
| Gel baits (roach, ant) | Zero — placed in crevices, no weather exposure |
| Exterior perimeter spray | Light rain ok after 30 min dry. Heavy rain = reschedule. |
| Mosquito barrier | Light rain ok. Heavy rain within 7 days = free re-treatment. |
| Tick / flea yard | Same as mosquito. |
| Wasp / hornet | Best at dusk, dry conditions ideal. |
| Lawn granular | Best APPLIED before rain (waters in) but not during. |
Our rain policy
- Light drizzle / forecast clear within 2 hours: we treat
- Active light rain: we treat interior + protected exterior; reschedule full perimeter
- Heavy rain or thunderstorm: we reschedule entirely, no charge for the call-out
- Heavy rain within 7 days of mosquito barrier treatment: automatic free re-treatment
Why this matters
A common consumer-grade product like store-bought Spectracide can wash off in moderate rain. Professional microencapsulated products (the "CS" in Demand CS stands for "capsule suspension") are engineered to bond to leaves and surfaces. The active ingredient is in micro-droplets that survive normal weather.
If you're booked and it's raining, we'll call you 90 minutes before your window. You'll never get billed for a weather-driven reschedule.
