One of the most commonly asked questions in Pest Control is this, will the Pests be gone after just one treatment. Now one thing in any industry should be sure, that if you are dealing with professionals, the aim should always be to get results as quickly as possible.


A fireman would want to put a fire out immediately and not struggle days and days on end, now we would want to believe that a financial advisor would want you to also have the best solutions possible. Now Pest Control Services should be no different, people that are in the industry to help rid people of pests would want to do so in the shortest amount of time possible. I can not imagine a Pest Controller that would be pleased knowing that not all efforts were taken to rid a facility of these nasty pests.


However the above question is a little bit of a two edged sword, so the short answer is that Pest Control Service efforts can be applied and the problem sorted within one treatment in most instances, however the question first needs to be what Pests are we dealing with, what extent is the problem at hand, what location issues are there and has there been any environmental changes in the area as of late. These are all very important questions to ask.


So why can Pests be treated in one treatment in most cases but not all. Well in most cases people will for one keep up there general pest control services during the year, also in most cases people will contact pest control services at the first sight of nasty pests like Cockroaches, Rats, Rodents, Ants etc which can lead to the problem to not go from bad to worse.


The Pests that you are dealing with could be a very important factor, as some species of Pests could warrant more than one visit, even if Pest Control was contacted at first sight. Like a mischief of Rats or a colony of Ants or in some cases an intrusion of Cockroaches, below is some more relevant questions to be asked to formulate the possible answer of the above, yes possible, because most professionals use a number of relevant factors and signs at hand to determine a possible outcome. Now due to the fact that not all can be seen at all times, there are instances that even the most calculated outcome could be way off, just due to one or two hidden elements.


Now there are obviously some instances where the infestation is already severe by the time Pest Control Services are contacted, this could be as a result of many things, failed DIY efforts, an infestation left for to long due to funding issues, it can also be that in some cases by the time the infestation was noticed, it was already a great problem, these are but some of the possible reasons, there are many more.


Location issues are a next question to be asked, how many facility issues are we dealing with, how big is the exclusion efforts going to be, how deep do some of the harbourage concerns run, cracks, crevices, voids, foundation and many other structural concerns must be looked at, now before we make you go into a panic and you grab the brown bag to help yourself to breath, with a good professional service, most of these things are relatively within the realm of possibility to be fixed easily.


The last last thing to sometimes take into account is recent environmental issues, see with some Pests the change in the environment can bring about infestations, sometimes servere ones. Has there been recently clean up efforts done in your area, be it the cutting down of trees, cleaning and cutting down of bushed areas, new restaurant openings or even new shop owners, dump clean outs, burning of materials or areas, new tenants etc etc the list can be very long.


Now although we haven't covered all the possibilities at hand that could lead to a no on our initial question, one thing will always stay true and should be part of any Pest Control efforts. Tell your Pest Control Service anything that could help them with there efforts, always be truthful and remember, you shouldn't feel embarrassed if you have pests, especially if you are not the cause of it.
