Questions
Questions we hear most
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size of the house, the number of entries we find and the visits it needs. The list of what decides it is on the how pricing works page, and we write the number down before any work starts.
How often do I need service?
Many houses do well with a spring visit and a fall visit. A house with a leak, or a known entry, may need more. We say what we'd recommend in the report.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Our applicators are licensed and follow the label on everything they use. We tell you where to keep children and pets away, and for how long, and we send the product list if you ask.
How long until I see results?
Sealing works the day it's done, though anything already inside takes longer to leave. Most homes see a difference within a few weeks, but it varies.
Do I need to be home?
For the first visit, yes if you can. We walk the house with you. After that we need access to the cellar and the attic.
What if the pests come back?
Call us. We come back and look at how they got in. Whether the return visit is covered depends on your plan, and the terms are in the written estimate.
Do you offer a no-contract option?
Yes. A single fall visit is a job on its own, and you decide afterward whether to book a second.
Do you handle termites?
They're rare here. If we see signs we tell you, and we say who to call for an inspection. A report records what was found; it isn't a promise.
Where do you serve, and when can you come?
Burlington and the valley towns around it. We book in the order the calls come in, and we tell you the day when we reply.
Still have a question?
Call, or send a note, and we'll reply the next working day.
