Outdoor Pest Control in Lafayette, IN

Mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and the ants and spiders that find their way inside. Here's what we treat, how often, and what to expect.

UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS

What kind of pest problem do you have?

We offer three outdoor services, and the right one depends on where you're seeing the bugs. Bitten in the backyard at dusk: mosquito control. Pets scratching, or ticks after yard time: flea and tick control. Ants, spiders or earwigs showing up inside: perimeter pest control. All three run five treatments a season starting in mid-April, and you don't need to be home.

What do the three pest services do?

Mosquito control

We treat the shady, damp places mosquitoes rest and breed, not just the open lawn. Five visits through the season keep the population down so you can use the yard in the evening.

Flea and tick control

A liquid treatment over the whole lawn, edge to edge, five times a season. It protects kids and pets from bites and the diseases that come with them.

Perimeter pest control

A barrier sprayed 3 feet up the foundation and 3 feet out, with extra attention at doors and windows. It stops crawling insects before they get in. Exterior only.

What don't we do?

• We don't treat inside the house. If bugs are already indoors, perimeter control stops more from coming in but won't clear the ones that are there.

• We don't treat landscape beds, because that takes a license we don't hold.

• We can't make mosquitoes disappear. Treatments cut the population a lot; they don't zero it out, especially after heavy rain.

• We don't handle rodents, termites, bees or wasps.

How much does pest control cost?

Pest services are priced by property, because yard size and how much tree line and shade you have change the work. Tell us your address and what you're seeing and we'll give you a price before anything is scheduled. Pest services can be added to any lawn package or bought on their own.

Common questions about pest control

Is it safe for my dog and cat?

Yes. The product targets a nerve pathway only insects have. Keep pets off treated areas until they're dry, usually 1 to 2 hours.

How often do you come?

Five treatments a season, starting in mid-April and spaced through the warm months.

Do I need to be home?

No. The technician leaves a flag in the yard so you know the visit happened.

Ask before you choose

What pests are covered? How many visits? What do I do after a treatment? We'd rather you ask now. The Learning Center has the answers.

Ready to take your yard back?

Tell us where the bugs are and we'll call with a plan and a price.
