Mr. Bavan Singh is an excellent pest control professional. He was on time and did a thorough job. He took the time to listen to our concerns and addressed all our issues. We've worked with other pest companies in the past but they only did a superficial job and that yielded temporary results. Bavan went into details, got into all the nooks and crannies which this job requires to eliminate the problem from the source. I highly recommend him for your home or business.

Bret is the technician that came to our house, he was very friendly and efficient. He had an answer to all of my questions and a solution to keep our home bug free. Last year they sprayed for bees and this year we dont have a bee problem. Highly recommend!

A relatively new species to the area, the spotted lanternfly is also a problem around here. They will fly right into your head and can wreak havoc on local trees and plants. We can deal with them at every stage of life so don't wait with this one.

What are some common signs of pest activity around homes and commercial properties?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

Signs of pest activity in homes can be ant trails, paper nests, and spider webs. Droppings are often the first sign of a problem in businesses. Other signs are staining around pipe chases, openings, and tight areas. This shows that pests are moving in and out of these areas frequently.

How do the seasons affect pest activity around West Orange?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

Ant activity begins in late winter and early spring, due to the moist/mild weather. When the weather changes to being hot and dry, stinging insects like hornets, wasps, and yellow jackets become much more prevalent. Colder months drive the rodents inside structures for nesting materials, shelter, and food.

The residential pests that we experience the most in Essex County are ants and stinging insects. Businesses face a lot of rodents and roach activity in our area.

What happens if it rains? Do you have to re-treat?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

A good, soft rain can actually activate some of the products we use, making them more effective. If we are spaying, then that may need another application. We monitor the weather to make sure we are using the products according to the directions on the label when it comes to any weather events. No matter what the weather, our techs have been trained to place the spray in sheltered spots where treatment will be done and under edges where the rain may not hit. So, often, we don’t need to return before our next regularly scheduled visit.

How soon before I see results?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

It’s difficult to say because it will depend on if there are conditions that are contributing to the problem, the size of the infestation, and what treatment was chosen. The technician can give you an estimate on when you may start seeing results after they have fully inspected and assessed the situation.

Do I need to leave my home or business when you provide service?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

Sometimes, yes. We do use products like sticky traps that can be placed while you’re there. And some treatments just require time for the product to dry, so just keeping people and pets away from it until it’s dry is fine. You can still be in the building. The time it takes for a product to dry can vary because of humidity in the air, but about 90 minutes is a good estimate. Our disinfectant treatment is quicker – about 20 minutes. Doing a bed bug treatment, on the other hand, will require you, your family or staff, and your pets to be out of the building until the treatment is done and for a certain time after. No matter what treatment is being done, we ask that you keep people and pets away from the technician while he/she is performing the services. No matter what service you’re having done, the technician will keep you fully apprised of the safest options for you and your family or staff.

Can I spray to get rid of my pest problem?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

Using over-the-counter treatments for pests can oftentimes exacerbate the issue. They can also interfere with the products a professional would use. Off-the-shelf remedies mostly repel pests – all that does is make them spread out to more hospitable areas of your home or business. Think about how hard it is to get rid of bed bugs. If you repel them into other rooms or into even better hiding spots, they will be harder to reach with the correct product and that could create an infestation. Also, we use products that are regulated by the EPA. Many over-the-counter products could cause issues to people and pets. If the product you used didn’t work, you may be tempted to use another. Many products should not be mixed, but how do you know which ones that includes? Nobody should be doing a chemistry experiment in their home or business. In addition, you may not use all of it. Getting rid of a chemical isn’t as easy as throwing it in the garbage, but you don’t want it around where kids can get to it. All of this will only create a longer period of time you’re living with pests and possibly a larger infestation that is increasingly difficult to treat. Not only are our technicians certified to use the products that will actually work, they are trained to use them only where needed and they take the excess product with them.

How long does a service call take?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

It’s important that our technicians take their time to treat efficiently and effectively. And just like price, how long a treatment takes is dependent upon several factors. Just some of those factors are: what service is being performed, is there an infestation, how large is the area being treated, are we treating to prevent future pests, and are we treating both outside and inside or just one? For some context, a normal, routine, exterior services takes about 25 minutes (depending on the size of the property) as long as there are no pest issues at the time of service.

How much does pest control cost?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

Just like an estimate, the price is dependent upon the kind of pest issue you have, the location of the pests, and the size of both the infestation and the home or business. The best choice from a cost perspective is to purchase a plan that has routine services included throughout the year and also has emergency service visits for any pests covered in the plan at no cost. Those types of issues can certainly surprise you in between the routine visits, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to get treatment for them. Having frequent routine visits can catch a problem before it becomes an infestation – saving you the money you would spend on a larger problem. And per-service cost can go down when you plan more frequent visits. Consult your salesperson for a cost estimate and the most cost-effective ways to treat for your current pest issue.

Do you give estimates over the phone?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

We would much rather inspect your home or facility to see what’s going on so we can come up with a custom plan – and therefore a custom estimate, but for some general pest issues, we can do an over-the-phone quote. For more difficult pests like bed bugs or termites or for large infestations, we will have to inspect the area to be able to give you an accurate price.

What products do you use?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

The kind of product we use depends on the pest we are treating for. We live by this mantra: the label is the law! We always follow the instructed directions on the product’s manufacturer’s label, which is reviewed and approved by the EPA. Our technicians are also given and use the proper equipment and are trained to treat only where the product will have the most success (targeted treatment). That determination is based on the biology of the pest in question.

Do you have to use chemicals to get rid of pests?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

Oftentimes, we don’t. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as much as possible. That strategy includes non-chemical in addition to chemical management techniques. We also have green products and lower-risk products such as baits that we use regularly. The point is to assess the situation and create the correct method of treatment (which may or may not include chemicals) to deal with that particular pest issue. Frequently, we use physical, mechanical, and preventative controls in lieu of going right for chemicals. The products we use are only a small part of our pest control strategy. IPM includes thoroughly inspecting, teaching you and your family or staff on how to make the area less hospitable to pests, and installing exclusions to keep the pests out in the first place. Our technicians are trained and certified for the chemicals we use. So, you can rest assured they are using the least amount possible in the safest manner possible to control your pest issue effectively. The technicians will also target the product so they only use it where the treatment will have the most success. It’s the most effective way with the least risk.

How long does it take to get rid of pests?

Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022
Western Pest Services | Aug 6, 2022

That answer is dependent on several different factors. The most important three are is the area’s conditions contributing to the pest issue, just how bad is the infestation, and what’s the biology of the pest. The Waltham Pest Services trained professionals will inspect and create a customized solution to your personal pest problem. Not only will they treat, but they will recommend things you can do to fix any conditions that may be contributing to the issue. We will also educate you, your family or staff, and anyone that is often on the property on what they can do to help keep them out.
