Western Exterminator may recommend more frequent visits at the start if there is active pest activity, then adjust the schedule over time. A professional inspection can help determine the best plan for your home.

Properties near water or with consistent moisture may see earlier activity. We may recommend starting early and continuing with regular treatments through the season to help manage populations.
