 Residential Service Description
We are constantly under siege from pests that want to ruin our homes, health, and happiness. These pests come in many different varieties and they come at different times of the year. That's why Arrow has developed our Flexible Residential Pest Control Programs. Our services consist of regularly scheduled visits to your home throughout the year.
Our Residential Service Program includes several important components which guarantee our success.
- Inspection - We take the time to walk around your home. We look into those areas where we know that pests like to hide.
- Evaluation - Based upon the inspection results, we will then determine the safest, best way to take care of your problems. We carefully select our products to insure that your home, children and pets are protected both during and after our services.
- Education - We also let you know the results of our inspections and let you know what you can do to assist us. We see our service as a partnership with our customers and Education is critical to that partnership's success.
- Eradication - We then employ the tools of our trade, sticky traps, brooms, vacuums and yes, sometimes chemicals to rid your home of its unwanted visitors.
- Follow-up - On some occasions we recognize the need for additional services to completely remedy a particularly severe problem. We always let you know just where you stand with our services.
Why does Arrow have to come multiple times a year?
Two very important reasons. First, many pests are seasonal in their occurrence. Rats and mice are very common in the Fall and Winter but not as prevalent in the Spring and Summer. Wasps and bees are noticed more in the Summer after their colonies have become very large, but they can be better controlled with early treatments in the Winter and Spring. Other pests such as, ants, roaches, and beetles also have seasonal peaks in their activity. Our challenge is to eliminate them before they become a problem to you. Second, because we rely on our training and expertise to rid your home of pest problems, we are able to reduce the amount of chemicals necessary to accomplish a pest free environment. If we are only allowed access to a home once or twice a year, there will be a need to use substantially more chemicals that would have otherwise been necessary.
What is included in the Arrow Program?
Arrow will schedule trips to your home throughout the year, and will inspect and perform treatment as needed to the areas described
- Trash collection areas provide fertile feeding grounds for numerous pests, including ants, flies and rodents.
- Perimeter inspection and treatment reduces the chance of pest invasion from neighboring properties.
- Garages should receive the same thorough inspection that your home gets.
- Door and window frames are common entry points for occasional invaders.
- Cracks in foundation walls and chimneys provide easy entry points for pests like ants.
- Landscape plantings often serve as perfect harborage areas for house invading pests.
- Ants, earwigs, and pillbugs are among the insect pests that commonly live in river rock, bark mulch and gravel beds.
- Wood piles harbor harmful pests such as crickets and spiders. Wood piles can encourage termites to keep feeding in a specific area. Wood piles should be kept away from the home.
- Eaves and overhangs often harbor spiders and harmful flying insects, including wasps and hornets.
- The interior service of your home will consist of inspection and monitoring all accessible areas. Pesticides will only be applied if absolutely necessary to stop an existing pest problem.
