OUR TREATMENT APPROACH

What Our Preventative Maintenance Program Includes

Every visit follows the same steps: inspect, treat, and keep a regular schedule so problems are caught while they’re small.

What happens during a preventative visit?

Your technician inspects your home, business, and the grounds around it. They look for signs of pests and for conditions that invite them, such as cracks in the foundation or plants leaning against exterior walls. Then they identify and eliminate possible entry points before pests can use them.

What do you treat?

After the inspection, we make recommendations, such as installing traps or seals. We then apply a liquid treatment along the foundation, eaves, and other entry points to keep pests from getting in.

How often will a technician visit?

Customers choose a regular interval, such as monthly or quarterly. Some customers prefer a visit every other month. Your technician will recommend a schedule based on your property and the pests common in your area.

Prevention vs. Reaction

Why Prevention Beats Reacting, and What It Costs

Is preventative pest control worth it?

Seattle’s damp climate keeps pests moving. Mice and rats move indoors in cold weather, carpenter ants favor water-damaged wood, and wasps nest in wall voids in late summer. Regular inspections catch these problems while they’re small, and a perimeter treatment makes it harder for new ones to start. You spend less time reacting to infestations and more time not thinking about pests.

What affects the cost of a preventative plan?

The cost depends on the size of your property, how often you want visits, the pests common in your area, and whether it’s a home or a business. Customers who enroll in a service agreement receive discounts, and new customers and senior citizens save $25. We give free estimates by phone.

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Preventative Pest Control FAQs

Helpful answers before you set up a preventative plan.

What is preventative pest control?

Preventative pest control is a regular program of inspections and perimeter treatments that keeps pests from getting in. A technician looks for signs of pests and conditions that invite them, treats along the foundation, eaves, and other entry points, and recommends fixes like traps or seals.

How often should I schedule preventative service?

Most programs run monthly or quarterly, and some customers choose another interval, such as every other month. The right schedule depends on your property, your pest history, and the season. Your technician will recommend a schedule after an inspection and adjust it as results come in.

Is a plan better than a one-time treatment?

If you have an active infestation, you’ll usually start with a treatment. A preventative program then keeps new pests from moving in. Regular visits are often easier than dealing with each new problem, especially in rainy months, when pests head indoors looking for shelter.

Do I get any discounts?

Yes. Customers who enroll in a regular service plan receive service agreement discounts. New customers and senior citizens also save $25. Call (206) 510-0464 to ask about current plan pricing and offers.

Does preventative service work for businesses?

Yes. We provide preventative maintenance for businesses as well as homes. A technician evaluates entry points, recommends traps, seals, or electronic devices, and visits on a regular schedule. See our commercial pest control page for details, or call (206) 510-0464.
