Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to a new pest problem?
Response time depends on current scheduling and the urgency of your issue, but we often offer same-day or next-day appointments for urgent pest problems when our calendar allows. For less urgent concerns, we will work with you to find a convenient time.
What if I keep seeing scorpions inside my home?
If you continue to see scorpions indoors, we may recommend interior crack-and-crevice treatments, more aggressive exterior service, and sealing around doors, windows, utility penetrations, and attic or wall void entry points. Regular maintenance is especially important in high-pressure scorpion areas.
Do you provide rodent control for mice and rats?
Yes. Uni-Tech offers rodent control services that may include inspections, trapping, baiting in appropriate areas, and exclusion work to seal entry points. We focus on both removing existing rodents and reducing future access and harborage.
Is rodent control included in my regular pest control plan?
Rodent services may be included in certain maintenance plans or priced separately, depending on the severity of the problem and the type of structure. Your estimate will specify whether rodents are covered under your current plan.
Are your products safe for my family and pets?
Uni-Tech uses EPA-registered products applied according to label directions, with an emphasis on targeted applications and minimal exposure. When used properly, these treatments are considered safe for families and pets. We will advise you of any specific precautions for your service.
How should I prepare my home before a pest control service?
Preparation depends on the type of service, but common steps include removing clutter from baseboards and under sinks, putting away pet food and dishes, securing pets, and providing clear access to areas where activity has been seen. Your technician or office staff can give you specific instructions for your service.
What should I do after a treatment is performed?
After treatment, follow any re-entry times given by your technician and avoid mopping or hosing treated exterior areas immediately. Keep children and pets away from still-wet surfaces. You may see some pest activity as treatments take effect, but it should decrease over time.
Why am I still seeing pests after a recent treatment?
Some pests may remain active for a short time after treatment, especially if baits or growth regulators are being used. Outdoor pests may also continue to move around the property. If you are still seeing significant activity after the expected control window, contact us so we can evaluate the need for a follow-up visit.
How long should it take before I see results?
Many general pests begin to decline within a few days of treatment, while others, such as heavy roach or severe rodent infestations, can take several weeks and more than one visit. Your technician will explain the expected timeline based on the specific pests and level of activity at your property.
