Should you clean before pest control service?
You’ve set the appointment for your exterminator to make life better. Should you clean before pest control service?
Here are 3 reasons why you should not clean before pest control service:
Cleaning messes with pests by interrupting normal foraging behaviors
Typical feeding areas
Regular trafficking behaviors
Pheromone and scent trails
It makes the pest control technician’s job more difficult potentially removing key details for identification. With fewer clues, the exterminator may have to apply a less targeted approach.
It may counteract the treatment - some cleaning chemicals can alter or negatively impact certain baits, sprays and dusts that may be the otherwise ideal option for achieving efficient pest control.
When preparing for your exterminator to come, leave things as is knowing you will have plenty of time to make necessary adjustments after you receive the expert instructions. If you aren’t sure if a specific practice will interfere, just reach out to Rove Pest Control to get the answer.
