Safety
Safe for the whole family.
Every product we use is EPA-registered, applied at the manufacturer's label rate, and listed on your written visit report. The actives bond to surfaces as they dry — once dry, there's no transfer risk to skin, paws, or food bowls.
Common safety questions
How long after spraying is it safe for pets and kids?▾
Until the treated surfaces are dry — typically 30 minutes on hard surfaces, up to 60 minutes on carpet/upholstery. Once dry, the active ingredient is bonded to the surface and won't transfer to paws, skin, or food bowls.
Do you use EPA-registered products?▾
Every product we use is EPA-registered, applied at label rate, and listed on your written visit report. We never use off-label rates or unapproved products.
What if I have a cat, bird, or fish?▾
Cats and birds are more sensitive to pyrethroid residuals. We adjust to lower-toxicity options (Alpine WSG, gel baits, dusts in voids). Fish tanks must be covered and the room sealed during interior treatment — pyrethroids are highly toxic to fish.
Do you protect pollinators?▾
Yes. We never spray flowering plants during pollinator hours. For honey bees on your property, we'll refer you to a local beekeeper for free removal — we won't treat them.
What products do you refuse to use?▾
Foggers / 'bug bombs' (scatter pests deeper into walls), older organophosphates banned for residential use (chlorpyrifos, diazinon), and any product at an off-label rate.
