Questions & Answers Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common household pests?
In our area, some of the most common household pests include ants, spiders, rodents (mice and rats), cockroaches, termites, fleas, bed bugs, and stinging insects like bees, wasps, and hornets. Each of these pests can cause significant damage to your home or business, as well as pose health risks, which is why early detection and proper pest control are essential.
How do I know if I have a pest infestation?
Signs of a pest infestation can vary depending on the type of pest, but common indicators include:
Rodents:Droppings, chewed wires or materials, scratching sounds in walls.
Insects: Visible insects (ants, spiders, etc.), nests, or damage to food, fabrics, or structures.
Stinging Insects: Buzzing sounds, visible nests around your home, or stings.
Fleas or Bed Bugs: Itchy bites on your skin or visible fleas in your carpet or blood spotted bed linens.
If you're noticing any of these signs, it's important to contact Lanser Pest Solutions for a professional inspection.
What should I do if I see a mouse or rat in my house?
If you spot a mouse or rat in your home, take immediate action:
Don’t ignore it: Rodents multiply quickly, and just seeing one could mean there are many more.
Avoid leaving food out: Store food in sealed containers and clean up crumbs or spills right away.
Contact us for an inspection and treatment to eliminate the problem.
Are your pest control methods safe for pets and children?
Yes! At Lanser Pest Solutions, we prioritize the safety of your family and pets. We use the most up-to-date and safe pest control methods available. We’ll always ensure that the treatments we use are appropriate for your home environment and provide guidelines for when it’s safe for pets and children to re-enter the treated areas.
Do you offer emergency pest control services?
Yes, we offer emergency pest control services! We provide emergency services for urgent wildlife trapping/removal, rodent control, or situations where pests like bees, wasps, or rodents pose a direct danger to your home and family.
Our emergency services are available 24 hours a day. If you need assistance outside of regular business hours, simply call and leave a message. A technician will return your call within one hour to address your needs.
What is the All Season Protection Plan, and what does it include?
Our All Season Protection Plan is designed to provide continuous, year-round pest control coverage. It includes:
Three preventative treatments each year to address common pests like ants, spiders, rodents, and stinging insects.
Free corrective treatments if any covered pests return between treatments.
Regular monitoring to ensure your home or business stays protected and your peace of mind remains intact.
How do I prepare my home for a pest control treatment?
Preparing your home for a pest control treatment can help ensure the treatment is effective. Here's what we typically recommend:
Clear areas: Move furniture, appliances, and items away from baseboards, cabinets, or other areas to allow easy access. Sweep or vacuum to remove food or debris that could interfere with treatments.
Pets and children: If necessary, keep pets and children away from treated areas as directed by your technician.
We’ll always give you specific instructions based on the type of treatment being performed.
What is the difference between preventative and corrective pest control?
Preventative pest control is aimed at stopping an infestation before it starts. With our All Season Protection Plan, you’ll receive three preventative treatments per year, targeting common pests before they become a problem.
Corrective pest control addresses existing infestations. If you already have an insect or rodent problem, corrective treatments will reduce pests and prevent further damage.
How can I reduce pest activity around my property?
Preventing pests starts with proactive steps:
Seal entry points: Close cracks and gaps in doors, windows, and around pipes.
Maintain cleanliness: Clean up food and crumbs promptly, store food in airtight containers, and take out the trash regularly.
Trim foliage: Keep trees and shrubs trimmed away from your home, as they can act as bridges for pests.
Proper waste disposal: Ensure outside trash bins are tightly sealed.
Maintain proper drainage: Eliminate water sources that can attract pests and create breeding grounds.
Add our Exclusion Services to your pest control plan to seal potential entry points and further reduce the likelihood of pests getting inside your home.
