If you are struggling with pest infestation, getting rid of them can be a daunting experience. Some pests are more troublesome than others and could destroy your valuables or even spread diseases. Here are some frequently asked questions that will help you learn more about Las Vegas pest control.
Do I need to hire a professional?
Yes, you do need to hire a professional. Rat infestations, for instance, are difficult to control, and it’s not just a matter of killing the rats but also preventing them from returning. A professional can advise you on what to do for your home or business property to stay pest-free and safe for everyone who lives in or visits there!
How long will it take to eliminate rat infestation?
The time it takes to get rid of a rat infestation depends on the size and severity of the infestation. If your home hosts a few rats, getting rid of them can take only a few days. However, the process will take much longer if your building has been infested for months or years. The longer an infestation has been going on, the more difficult it will be to control because rats have adapted their behavior accordingly.
What is the cost of eliminating rats in my home?
The cost of getting rid of rats and other rodents depends on how long it takes to complete the assignment and the number of visits needed. A single visit may include extermination and clean-up services, and companies have variable pricing.
Can’t I use traps or poison?
Traps are not always effective against many pests, especially rodents. Rats can sense traps before they go off and often go back and forth between areas where you have trapped them before disappearing for a few days. Similarly, poison is unsafe for pets or children to ingest and can cause severe health problems if consumed by humans (or other animals).
How do you prevent rats from coming back?
To prevent rats from returning, you must ensure your property is clean and free of food sources. If a rodent infestation is already present, it’s best to call in a professional Las Vegas pest control company like Progressive Pest Control.
We don’t have an infestation yet, but how can we keep rats away?
If you’re new to Las Vegas or haven’t had any infestations yet, your best bet is to start by keeping your yard clean and free of debris. You can also use rat repellents around windows and doors leading into your home.
What happens if a rodent gets inside my house and dies?
If a rodent has already made it inside your home and died there, disposing of its body is important because dead animals smell awful! You may need professional help from a Las Vegas pest control company to dispose of the dead rats properly. That said, it’s best not to attempt this task yourself (unless necessary) if you fear getting sick after handling something dead.
Are your pest control products safe for pets and small children?
You should know that most chemicals are dangerous if they land in the wrong hands. Several pest control products are on the market, and we use the least toxic ones available. Our pest control products have been tested and proven safe for our customers and pets, so rest assured that we will always use them in a safe manner.
How long should I wait before cleaning the treated surfaces?
We recommend not cleaning the treated surfaces at least 24 hours after applying our pest control products. If we have used a gel, we recommend waiting at least 48 hours before putting anything back into your home or apartment. Similarly, bait stations should be undisturbed for up to a week or two to ensure maximum effectiveness against pests such as cockroaches, termites, and ants.
