  • Wildlife

    • What can I do to reduce the chance of wildlife entering my home or building?

      There are several straightforward steps to help keep unwanted wildlife at bay:

      • Place screens on vents.
      • Use caps for your chimneys.
      • Store trash in sealed containers to avoid attracting animals.
      • Keep firewood at least 20 feet away from your home.

      By implementing these preventive measures, you can significantly reduce the chance of wildlife intrusions.

    • What are the warning signs of a termite infestation?

      Termite infestations typically start unnoticed, but warning signs to keep an eye out for include shed termite wings around the exterior of your property, termite frass that appears like wood shavings near wooden areas, and mud tubes around exterior or interior areas.

    • Is professional termite control safe?

      Professional termite control is relatively safe as we apply our treatments to the exterior of your property. Both Termidor, our soil treatment for termites, and our baiting systems for termites are targeted towards termites and their nests, and these nests are typically out of reach of individuals you might be concerned about, such as children and pets. Speak to a technician today if you have concerns.

  • Tick and Mosquito

    • Is the treatment safe for my children and pets?

Our tick and mosquito control treatments are specifically designed to be tough on pests but entirely safe for both children and pets. We always ensure that the products we use meet the highest safety standards while remaining effective against those pesky invaders.

    • How long does the treatment last?

      Our treatments are designed for durability and come with a 90-day guarantee. However, the environment and conditions can vary, so for continuous, uninterrupted protection, we highly recommend our bundled service plans. These ensure that your space remains pest-free throughout the changing seasons.

    • Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

      Not at all! At ProfExt Pest Control, we value flexibility. We do offer comprehensive bundled plans for consistent, year-round protection, but if you're looking for a one-off solution or want to test our services first, you can choose our one-time, non-contracted services.

While some mosquito-borne illnesses are more common in certain areas than others, it’s essential to take precautions regardless of where you live. By utilizing professional pest control services, you can reduce your risk of contracting a severe illness from mosquitoes.
