DURING TREATMENT
Please plan to be away for at least two hours following our treatments. Healthy children and adults may return at that time, but infants and persons with chronic respiratory ailments such as allergies, asthma or bronchitis should remain away for at least 4 hours. If you have any doubt, please stay away for the four hours.
FOLLOWING TREATMENT
Our treatment will be completely dry within two hours following application. Open windows for ventilation and to dissipate chemicals odors. Food preparation areas and counter tops should be washed thoroughly with detergent and water. Do not wash inside cabinets, drawers or baseboards. Return all kitchen and bathroom items to their proper places in cabinets and drawers. Maintain sanitary conditions, especially in the kitchen.
Please Note: It is normal to see a temporary increase in insect activity immediately after our treatment. We have made harborages uninhabitable so insects will spend more time in the open. But, if you do not notice a steady decrease in sighting after one week or if you still see insects two weeks following treatment, please contact us so we can arrange re-treatment.
Remember to call us for a follow-up appointment two weeks after to be sure we did get them all. Eggs may hatch after the initial treatment.
