1.12 Quarterly Pest Control (Quarterly or monthly billing):

El Valle Pest Control takes care of and prevents issues by using a broad and intelligent approach towards pest management through initial knockdown and quarterly visits for season specific inspections, tactics and applications. We'll identify and help to fix conducive conditions to pest such as sources of food, water and shelter, all while using low risks products and integrative methods for eco-friendly pest control.

Schedule and Procedures:
The initial visit targets adults pests in hot spots, base and perimeter of your home for fast knockdown. After the initial service, reapplication may be arranged if needed within 7-40 days to re-target emerging pests and per technician's recommendations, if any. The following quarterly visits will be scheduled approximately every 3 months for season specific applications, durable results and control throughout the year.
After each visit, please allow a few days (at least 5-7 days) for pest populations to undergo treatment or any other recommendations given by the applicator/technician. Most pesticides work by contact, meaning that the bugs and insects have to get in contact (touch or eat) with the chemical for the pesticidal process to begin. It can be normal to see a 1 or a few bugs every once in a while (specially after rainy days), but they should die after a while from getting in contact with the different pesticidal products and formulations applied. If issues persists or any concerns, please contact us.
Service will be performed mainly to the exterior of the property. Interior spray and treatments can be done during every visit or if requested. The Company will contact the Customer to set up an appointment and the tech will arrive as scheduled to provide services. In most cases, good exterior control may decrease the need for interior applications. The Customer agrees to make the exterior of the property available for treatment(s) as needed. If the Customer is not available by the time of the pest control visit, the technician will provide service to the exterior of the property and leave a note. The card of file will be charged monthly as usual until cancelation of services.
To re-schedule, the Company must be contacted at least 24-48 hours in advance.

Covered Pests:
Standard pests covered are ants (except carpenter ants), spiders, scorpions, cockroaches (except german roaches), house crickets, paper wasps, silverfish, firebrats, centipedes and millipedes. Other pests such as rodents, german roaches, carpenter ants, birds, etc., can be treated at additional charge or change in pest control plan.
