Pest control is serious business in Atlanta. From spiders and roaches to ants and bees, every Atlanta homeowner will eventually find himself with at least one type of unwanted house guest. As opposed to operating on a strictly reactive basis, some pest control companies offer pest prevention programs designed to keep bugs from becoming a problem in the first place.
What are the advantages of a quarterly pest control program? There are several, says Atlanta pest control expert Brian Lunsford of Inspect-All Services. His company’s quarterly prevention program helps to get rid of pests and keep them out of your home year-round.
Why It’s Necessary
It’s always a good idea, Lunsford says, to have a preventive pest control program in place when you live in the Southeast. There’s an old saying: “It’s not a matter of ‘if,’ but ‘when’ you’re going to get termites in Georgia.”
The same saying applies to pests in general – spiders, ants, roaches and other common household insects. If you don’t have a problem with one of these pesky populations now, Lunsford says, then there’s a good chance that you will eventually. A good proactive prevention program is the best way to ensure that you don’t find yourself suddenly battling a major infestation.
What’s Involved?
Inspect-All’s popular pest control program involves thoroughly treating your home against common pests on a pre-determined schedule. The company recommends, but doesn’t require, that these treatments be performed quarterly for the best results. “Our customers are not locked in like they might be with other pest control companies,” Lunsford says, “and it’s a pay-as-you-go program. “
Inspect-All’s program is both highly effective and convenient for the homeowner. The first treatment, Lunsford says, involves applications both indoors and outdoors. Each application thereafter, however, is a “perimeter” (exterior) treatment, which means that there’s no need for the homeowner to be present at the time the treatments take place; nor does the homeowner need to worry about the constant re-application of chemicals inside the home.
Because treatments take place on a pre-scheduled basis, the customer doesn’t even need to remember to set up an appointment each quarter. “We really keep it very simple for our clients,” Lunsford says.
Why Choose Inspect-All?
Inspect-All Services was recently named one of the 100 fastest growing businesses in Georgia. One of the reasons for this is that the company does solid pest control work at a reasonable price. A full-service inspection business as well, Inspect-All even offers reduced rates on pest control services for homeowners that have used the company for home or termite inspection services.
An additional benefit to partnering with Inspect-All is that the company’s quarterly pest control service comes with a “security blanket.” As a quarterly customer, if you do experience any type of insect activity in your home, the company will re-treat for that insect at no additional cost. “No matter what type of problem or what time of year,” says Lunsford, “we’ll do whatever it takes to correct the problem, and you won’t need to worry about additional fees.”
