HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GET PEST CONTROL?
Pest control isn’t just for emergencies—routine treatments keep your home or business pest-free year-round. But how often do you really need it?
Ideal Pest Control Frequency
- General Prevention: Every 3 months is best for most homes.
- Active Infestations: Monthly treatments may be needed for issues like roaches, rodents, or bed bugs.
- Seasonal Pests: Schedule treatments 2–4 times a year to manage pests that appear during specific seasons (e.g., ants in summer, rodents in winter).
What Affects Frequency?
How often you need pest control depends on:
- Location & climate
- Property type & cleanliness
- Nearby trees, water, or food sources
For Businesses
Commercial spaces—especially food or retail—may require monthly services to meet health standards and avoid costly infestations.
When to Call Sooner
Watch for:
- Droppings or chew marks
- Unusual smells
- Frequent pest sightings
If you notice these, it’s time to call the pros—regardless of your schedule.
Pro Tip: For most households, quarterly pest control keeps pests away all year. Talk to a professional to customize your plan.
