Pre & Post-Service Tips to Get the Most from Your Pest Control Treatment

Having your home and lawn sprayed regularly can help control insects from infesting your home. However, if you do spot an insect crawling across your counter, Best Pest Control can help you get rid of your infestations. Before your routine preventative maintenance, here are a few things you can do to get the most out of Lake of the Ozarks' best pest control services.


When a pest control company at the Lake of the Ozarks comes to your home, they will determine what type of infestation you have and how frequent you should have your home sprayed. Although you do not have to be home for treatment of the outside of your home, there are some preparation items you can tackle before they treat the inside of your home to ensure better results, depending on what type of infestation you have.

Spiders
  • Move small items away from walls.
  • Make sure there are no items underneath the beds. 
  • Clean along walls. 
  • If you have a fish tank, make sure it is covered and that the pump is turned off. 
After service, all residents and pets should remain out of the building for several hours until the product is completely dry. In addition, do not have your carpets steam cleaned.

Cockroaches
  • Move small items away from walls. 
  • Clean and remove items from the kitchen counter.
  • Clean along walls. 
  • Vacuum carpets and sweep/mop hardwood floors.
  • Tightly seal and store any open food. 
  • If you have a fish tank, make sure it is covered and that the pump is turned off. 
During service, children and pets should be kept away and should not return until the treatment is dry. After service, do not clean the edges for a few months. If you are planning to shampoo the carpet, do so before the treatment, as this could maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

Ants
  • Move small items away from walls.
  • Move items away from the back of the counter-tops. If moved elsewhere, make sure they are covered with cloth or plastic.
  • Clear items away from window sills.
  • Clean all floors, window sills and counter tops, especially the edges. 
  • If you have a fish tank, make sure it is covered and that the pump is turned off.
After treatment, do not clean the edges of the floors and counters for several days or weeks, if possible.
