Wet and Winter Weather Treatments
keep you bug-free all year long

A common question people ask is how effective our products are in the rain. Our technicians are trained on which products to use in different climates and weather. There are some products that are enhanced by moisture, which make the treatment more effective than they would otherwise be. Our technicians will generally treat with a liquid product by the home's foundation and on the base of the windows. They will also use this treatment for the eaves of the house and entry ways. Water-enhanced granule will be spread out from the foundation into the yard to create a barrier around the home. This treatment method is extremely effective and very important in preventing future infestations.

Some people see an increase in insect activity just after it rains. This is usually because rain disturbs insect dwellings and the reproductive cycles of the pests near your home. It is important to have already applied the treatment in order to minimize invading pests. If, for any reason, you feel that you are experiencing abnormal amounts of insect activity during wet periods, please inform us--we are more than happy to return and retreat your home free of charge.

Winter Weather Methods

The colder temperature in the winter compels pests that noramlly dwell outside your home to seek refuge inside. Because of this, the fall and winter months are considered rodent season. While your garage and attic are generally too hot for mice and rats to dwell in during the summer months, they become the primary areas where rodents are found in the winter. Ants, spiders, earwigs and other pests can become an increasing problem inside your home during the winter as well.

Our winter method of treating for these common pests is extremely effective. We focus our treatment in areas closer to the home where pests are reproducing and nesting. In addition to a barrier which we maintain around your home, we have an injection system that consists of tools which inject treatment into the cracks and weep holes near the home's foundation. Many specialists believe that the winter treatment is the most important because as the weather begins to warm and pests become more and more active, with the treatment in place, the pests will come into contact with the products as they emerge from their nesting areas before they have a chance to multiply and dwell inside your home. By choosing a year-round treatment schedule, you will enjoy the benefits that thousands of our customers who are already part of the A+ family enjoy.
