FAQ

General Pest Control Questions

What if my neighbors don’t get pest control?

Your home will still be protected. We guarantee your pest issues will be controlled, regardless of whether you are the only person on the block with pest control.

What if I have an ant hill or some other problem way out in my yard?

Let your technician know about it and he'd be happy to do a spot treatment on your property.

How often should pest control be done?

For most homes, we recommend quarterly pest control treatments to maintain a protective barrier and keep pests out year-round. In areas with high pest activity or for specific pest problems (like flies or rodents), monthly treatments may be more effective.

What is exclusion in pest control?

Exclusion refers to the process of sealing off entry points in your home to prevent pests from getting inside. This can include caulking cracks, installing door sweeps, and screening vents. It's a key part of long-term pest prevention.

How long after pest control can I go inside?

Most treatments are safe to enter once they've dried completely, usually within 30 minutes. We'll let you know at the time of service if any extended wait times are needed for safety.

How does pest control work?

Our pest control treatments combine inspection, targeted application, and prevention strategies. We use products designed to eliminate existing pests and create a barrier around your home to stop new ones from entering, all with your family's safety in mind.

Is pest control safe for pets?

Yes! At Valor Pest Solutions, we use pet-friendly products and techniques. We always recommend keeping pets away from treated areas until the product is dry, and our team is happy to answer any specific safety concerns you have.

How soon can I clean after pest control?

It's best to avoid cleaning treated areas for at least 24-48 hours, especially baseboards, corners, and windowsills. This allows the treatment to remain effective.

How should I prepare for pest control?

Preparation varies by treatment plan, but here are some general guidelines:

  • Remove clutter from floors and baseboards
  • Store food and pet dishes
  • Secure pets
  • Give access to problem areas

Before your scheduled service, our technicians will provide detailed prep instructions so your pest control treatment goes smoothly.

First Treatment

Why do I see more bugs after the first treatment?

Pest activity is normal, we target pests where they hide. When we apply a treatment, it forces the pests from their hiding places and out of your home.This is a signal that the treatment is disrupting their nest and they are leaving your home.

What will be done on my initial service?

Exterior treatment and spot treatments on the interior as needed / necessary. All services are customized based on the needs of each individual customer.

Will I need to leave my house?

Valor Pest uses quality products that are safe for children and pets. Your technician can provide more information.

Recurring Treatments

Will my services always be on the same day?

Due to the different seasonal needs and the specific pests' issues at your home the exact day of services may vary slightly.

Will I need to be home for recurring services?

One of the reasons people choose Valor is because we focus on preventing pests from entering your home. We provide an extensive exterior treatment reducing the need for excessive interior treatments. Interior treatments are free upon request.

Are the services the same during each season?

Valor Pest Solutions customizes your individual service plan to account for the environmental and pest difference during each season as well as the specific needs of your home.

How often should pest control be done for flies?

Fly infestations can be persistent, especially in warmer months. Depending on the severity of your fly infestation, monthly treatments may be needed until the issue is resolved. Preventative treatments and sanitation practices also help keep flies away long-term.

Technicians

How can I leave private feedback about my technician?
