If you’re like most homeowners, you probably put off some home projects longer than you should. Maybe you notice a small water leak and ignore it for a few weeks. Maybe a door isn’t closing properly, but you get good at putting it in just the right position to make do. Maybe one of your smoke alarms won’t stop chirping… actually, you probably take care of that one right away!
It’s pretty normal to get busy with work, family, and responsibilities, and put off fixing things that need to be fixed. The same is true of home pest control. You might notice a few pests around your house and hope they go away on their own. Or you know you should implement a preventative pest control plan, but you aren’t sure what the process entails or how much it will cost, so you choose to avoid it instead.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, but you also don’t need to continue down the same path. If you’ve avoided pest control because you don’t know what it involves, All-American Pest Control is here to answer your questions. Our home pest control plans are structured, thorough, and designed to provide long-term prevention, not just quick fixes. Learn more about what happens before, during, and after your first pest control visit below.
What Happens During the Initial Pest Inspection?
The first step in a professional pest control plan is the initial pest inspection. In order to get an accurate picture of current pest activity, pest harborage areas, entry points, and conducive conditions, our experts have to look around your property. When we arrive at your home, we will:
-
Inspect both exterior and interior areas
-
Identify pest species and activity levels
-
Locate entry points, such as cracks, gaps, and vents
-
Check high-risk zones like kitchens, basements, attics, and crawl spaces
Our inspection is vital because it determines everything that comes after it. We use the information we gather to create a customized treatment plan for your home.
How Is a Treatment Plan Created for Your Home?
Your home pest inspection is complete. Now what? Now we create a customized treatment plan for your home. While some aspects of the home pest control process are the same for all homes, others are unique to each home’s special set of circumstances. We’ll review the information we gathered during your inspection and recommend a pest control service based on the needs of your home and family.
Our pest control plans focus on:
-
The type of pests that are active around your home and how severe the infestation is
-
Your home’s layout and the surrounding environment
-
Which treatment methods will best meet your home’s pest control needs
In order to deliver effective pest control, the professionals at All-American Pest Control know that the approach has to be tailored to the home. One-size-fits-all treatments do not provide the long-term solutions and protection you want for your home.
What Types of Treatments Are Used?
With over 60 years of pest control experience under our belt, the experts at All-American Pest Control know a thing or two about effective treatments. We’ve determined which types of treatments work best for various pests, we know what products are most effective, and we know where, how, and in what quantities to use these products.
Not every treatment is needed for every pest control issue. You can rest assured that our treatments are only applied where needed. Modern pest control is precise and strategic.
How Does Perimeter Protection Work?
One of our most effective and popular services is our perimeter protection. This treatment is done exclusively around the exterior of your house and provides ongoing protection to keep pests out of your home.
Our perimeter service includes an application around your foundation and entry points to create a protective barrier. Since most pest problems begin outdoors before moving inside, this treatment stops pest problems before they begin. Our perimeter service is available as part of most of our pest control plans. Reach out for more information.
How Are Entry Points and Risk Factors Addressed?
A lot goes into a solid pest control plan. Only addressing active pests or only providing perimeter services will not provide comprehensive protection. Entry points and other risk factors have to be taken into consideration and addressed so that pests can’t make their way inside. At All-American Pest Control, we recommend you add these exclusion tips to your spring clean-up:
-
Sealing cracks and gaps around foundations, doors, and windows
-
Identifying structural vulnerabilities
-
Recommending repairs of torn screens, damaged door sweeps, etc.
-
Reducing access to food and moisture
A good exclusion plan prevents new pests from getting inside and stops reinfestations from occurring.
What Happens After the First Visit?
After our initial inspection and our first treatment, is there anything left to do? If you want long-term protection from pests, we won’t stop there. Routine follow-up treatments are essential for monitoring pest activity, adjusting treatments as needed, and ensuring your house remains pest-free now and in the future.
All-American will schedule routine service visits for your home that are typically done around the exterior only. This makes it easy for homeowners, as you don’t usually need to be home for us to provide our services. If pests do show back up in your house, we’ll provide free re-treatments between scheduled visits to ensure your home stays pest-free.
Why Do Most Homes Need Ongoing Pest Control?
In Tennessee, pests are active year-round. No season is free of pests, which means there’s no season when you get a break from the threat of a pest infestation. If you want long-term pest protection, you need to protect your home against the different pests that show up in each changing season.
Another benefit of ongoing pest control is that it stops infestations before they begin. Regular services maintain your home’s protective barrier, keeping pests out in the spring, summer, fall, and winter. Ongoing pest control in your Tennessee home gives you peace of mind.
