Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to leave my house for hours when you treat for cockroaches?

Roaches hide deep in wall voids, so we fumigate the whole space rather than spot-spray - like fogging a room instead of dabbing one corner. At True Pest Co., we ask you to step out for four to six hours so the treatment fully penetrates and settles safely.

Why does roach treatment take three separate visits instead of one?

One spray rarely ends a roach problem - think weeding a garden, not just snipping the sprouts you can see. The first trip fumigates, the second targets the surviving hotspots we identify, and the third monitors to confirm nothing's creeping back.

Do eco-friendly pest control products actually work as well as the harsh stuff?

Yes. At True Pest Co., we use products chosen for superior performance with minimal environmental impact - think precision tool instead of sledgehammer. You get the same knockdown power with far less chemical exposure for your family and pets.

What's the difference between pest control and wildlife control?

Pest control handles insects and rodents - ants, roaches, mice, spiders. Wildlife control covers larger critters like raccoons, squirrels, bats, and birds. Picture bugs in the walls versus animals in the attic: different access points, different tools, different tactics.

Why do you seal up my house instead of just spraying the bugs?

Spraying treats today's pests; sealing handles tomorrow's. It's like bailing a leaky boat versus patching the actual hole. We seal up the gaps where pests sneak in, so the problem doesn't just stroll right back through the same door.

Can you remove a large animal like a deer or coyote from my property?

No - we stop at animals large enough to require Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and we don't handle termites either. We focus on what we do best: rodents, insects, and mid-sized wildlife like raccoons, squirrels, bats, and snakes.

How does monthly pest control work for a commercial property?

Recurring pests need recurring defense - like regular oil changes versus waiting for the engine to seize. Monthly visits let us catch infestations early and keep your space consistently protected, instead of scrambling to react after pests have already cost you business.
