Treatment

How we treat crawling insects

Inside and out

Baseboard and foundation treatment

Crawling insects travel along edges, so we treat the edges they use.

  • If they are inside, a residual is applied to all baseboards on every floor
  • If they are outside, the affected areas and exposed foundations are treated
  • Boxelder beetles get an exterior treatment, an interior treatment or both, depending on where you see them
  • Most crawling insects are killed within 14 days
How it works

What happens after you call.

  1. Call or send a request

    Tell us what you are seeing and where. A photo helps.

  2. Prepare

    Move furniture and outdoor items away from walls and the foundation, per the checklist.

  3. Treatment

    Baseboards inside, foundations outside. You stay out for 4 to 5 hours for interior work.

  4. Leave it working

    Most crawling insects are killed within 14 days. Several treatments may be needed.

Safety and preparation

Before and after your visit.

For interior treatments, everyone, including pets, stays out of the home for 4 to 5 hours. Anyone pregnant or with breathing problems stays out for 24 hours.

After the treatment

  • When you mop, stay about 12 inches away from the baseboards. The longer the treatment stays, the better it works.

  • How far the problem has spread
  • The condition of the property
