Pest control maintenance & prevention
Ongoing pest control keeps problems from starting. A recurring plan (about $40-$70/month) combines scheduled visits with re-treatments between them, plus simple steps you take yourself to keep pests out year-round.

How do recurring plans work?
On a plan, a technician visits on a set schedule - usually quarterly or monthly - to treat, monitor and adjust. Most plans include free re-treatments if pests appear between visits, so you’re covered year-round.
What can you do between visits?
- Seal gaps around doors, windows and pipe entries.
- Fix leaks and reduce moisture - many pests need water.
- Store food and trash in sealed containers.
- Keep mulch, shrubs and firewood away from exterior walls.
