Does RTPC work weekends?
We have a skeleton crew available on Saturdays. We primarily use this time for initial services due to scheduling requirements. Most of our recurring prevention services are set during the regular work week.
I sprayed my house and now the Ants are everywhere! Why is it getting worse?
Most ants are chemically sensitive, and some are especially sensitive. The Odorous House Ant for example will shatter their one colony into multiple sub-colonies when they are treated with certain materials. Each colony has multiple queens and they will continue dividing their forces as long as they think they are in danger. The materials
I have been using diatomaceous earth to eliminate the Ants, but I am not seeing lasting results.
There are many home remedies for pest control. Cleaning products, boric acid, lemon juice, cinnamon, peppermint, boiling water, chalk, baking soda, vinegar, to name only a few. In the end, you can kill Ants with just about anything, but unless you destroy the entire colony you will not stop them. If you want an
I have been using ant bait for a while now. The ants usually eat the bait and then disappear, but then they pop up in a different room. Why is the bait not working?
Ant bait is meant to be one part of the control process. Bait alone will not wipe out an entire colony, and using bait alone will take a very long time to get you the results you want. Ants are also very good at adapting to their environment. They can determine if a food
I sealed up the entry points I found, but they are still getting in. What’s happening?
The Rodent Exclusion process can be extremely difficult. A fully-grown rat only needs to find an opening the size of a quarter to get into your home, and sometimes that small opening is not somewhere easily found. It is also important to use the correct materials when you seal up entry points. Using expanding
I am using Sonic/Sound Repelling Devices. Why are they not working?
These devices come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and designs. The logic behind their function seems like it makes sense, but these devices simply do not work. Rodents and Insects are masters of adapting to their environment. Their capabilities to adapt far exceed that of people in many ways. In the same way
I have sealed up rodent holes inside my house, why do they keep getting in?
The goal for rodent exclusion is to keep the rodents out of your home. Once a rodent accesses your crawlspace, attic, garage, or other wall or ceiling void, they have complete access to your home. The construction materials used on the inside of your home are easily gnawed through or bypassed. Rodents will also
Why hasn’t my cat/dog been catching the rodents?
Some species of cat and dog are excellent mousers. Some are quite the opposite and have zero desire to chase or catch a rodent. In many cases the rodents are intelligent enough to actively avoid your pet, and they often travel and live in areas your pet cannot access. In some cases, the rodent
I have removed or trapped the rodents we had, but new ones keep showing up.
Rodents are very dependent on their sense of smell due to their poor vision. Because of this they leave grease/scent trails and small spots of urine and feces everywhere they travel. This allows them to navigate quickly without being solely dependent on their sight. The more these trails are used, the stronger the smell.
