Is It Normal To See Bugs After A Pest Treatment? Somerset KY

Why Am I seeing More Bugs? Shouldn’t I Be Seeing Less?

It’s not unusual that homeowners will call in pest control expecting an immediate fix to the couple of bugs they saw. But what you may not realize is that these few bugs are likely just a small portion of a more serious infestation. This means that there could be hundreds more bugs hiding away in your home that you didn’t even know about, and as the treatment sets in, these bugs are often pushed out of hiding and, although most of them will die, it can take up to a few days once the treatment has dried.

But don’t be alarmed. Just because these bugs are coming out of hiding does not mean your treatment isn’t working! In fact, this means it’s doing its job! the bugs are simply running from the treatment in place- but they aren’t going to get away! With Four Seasons on your side, you can rest assured that your pest problem will be conquered!

Different pests call for different treatment protocols. With modern advances in pesticides, like lower toxicity levels and pest-specific targeting, non-repellency, and sometimes tandem active ingredients, kill times can be potentially slower, but much longer lasting.

So, what this means is that while sometimes immediate results can be seen, it isn’t always the case. This doesn’t mean these treatments aren’t effective though. When we use products designed to be used for specific pests and for extended periods of time, some pests, like spiders, ants, and beetles, may take a bit longer to eliminate, but that elimination and prevention is often much longer lasting. Our goal is to reach the entire infestation for complete elimination, not simply eradicate what you are seeing and only suppress the remainder of the infestation.
