What “Eco-Friendly” Means in Practice
Eco-friendly pest control emphasizes prevention, precise placement, and low-impact ingredients—so you protect people, pets, and pollinators without sacrificing results.
Step-by-Step: Picking the Right Provider
- Define the pests and pressure: Note species (ants, roaches, spiders, mosquitoes, rodents) and where you see activity.
- Ask about approach, not just products: Look for exclusion, sanitation, baits/dusts in cracks and crevices, and seasonal exterior service—avoid broad interior sprays.
- Request a written plan: Inspection findings, targeted treatments, entry-point fixes, and follow-up cadence.
- Match the plan to your home: Kids, pets, gardens, allergies, and your tolerance for activity during treatment.
- Verify licensing and reviews: Check current state license and recent customer feedback.
Questions to Ask
- Which low-impact actives and placements will you use for my specific pests?
- How do you combine exclusion and sanitation with treatments?
- What follow-ups are included, and how do you measure success?
- Can you tailor for kids, pets, vegetable gardens, and pollinators?
Pricing & Value: How Not to Overpay
- Expect a higher initial visit (inspection + targeted treatment), then lower maintenance visits.
- Favor quarterly exterior service to reduce interior work.
- Compare what’s included (follow-ups, re-service) instead of just the monthly price.
- Ask for seasonal timing to catch swarms and peak activity before it spikes.
Red Flags to Avoid
- Heavy interior broadcast sprays as the default
- No inspection or exclusion plan
- Vague product lists with no placement details
- Long contracts without clear service terms
