Tell us about your pets first

Before any treatment, we ask: what animals live here, where do they go, and what do they get into? A free-roaming cat, a dog that eats everything in the yard, a reptile tank, backyard chickens — each one changes the plan. Put it on the form so we arrive prepared.

How we keep treatments pet-conscious

Targeted placement. Baits and products go into cracks, crevices, wall voids, and tamper-resistant stations — places pests travel and pets can't reach. We don't broadcast product across floors where paws walk.

Dry times matter. Most liquid treatments are a concern only while wet. Once dry (usually 1–2 hours), treated surfaces are fine for normal pet contact. We'll tell you exactly when to let pets back into each area.

Yard treatments and dogs. Dogs are the big yard question. We treat the perimeter and resting areas, keep product off toys and water bowls, and tell you when the yard is ready for paws again.

What to watch for

After any treatment, watch pets for drooling, vomiting, wobbling, or unusual tiredness — and call your vet if you see them. These reactions are rare with professional targeted treatments, but knowing the signs matters. Keep the product information we leave you; your vet may ask what was used.

The honest bottom line

No pest control product should be treated as harmless — that's why placement, product choice, and dry times exist. But a professional treatment planned around your pets is far safer than the alternative most people try first: bug bombs and over-the-counter sprays used too heavily in living spaces. Tell us about your pets on the form and we'll build the plan around them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are flea treatments safe for my dog?

Flea treatments target the home and yard — your dog's own flea prevention is a separate conversation with your vet. We coordinate timing so the pet's treatment and the home treatment work together instead of overlapping.

What about fish tanks and birds?

Aquariums and caged birds are more sensitive than dogs and cats. Tell us upfront — we'll cover tanks, turn off air pumps during treatment, and keep product away from bird rooms.

Should I board my pet during treatment?

Usually not necessary. Securing pets in an untreated room (or with a neighbor for an hour or two) during the visit is enough. We'll confirm the plan for your specific situation.
