What to Expect During a Pest Control Visit

If you've never had a professional pest control visit, it helps to know what happens before, during, and after. Here's how a visit works at JM Pest Control Solutions, so you can plan your day and get the most out of the service.

Before the visit

Booking. Call or text 786-849-8713, or send the form on our website with your address and what you're seeing. Photos of the pest or the damage help us come prepared.

Scheduling. We confirm a day and a time window that works for you. If anything changes on our side, we'll let you know.

Preparation. Most general pest control visits need very little prep. Some services need more, and we'll send instructions ahead of time:

• German cockroaches: be ready to empty the kitchen cabinets and drawers we need to reach, and clean up grease and food debris.
• Bed bugs: launder bedding and clothes on high heat, bag clean items, and pull furniture away from the walls.
• Fleas: vacuum thoroughly, wash pet bedding, and schedule your pets' treatment with your veterinarian.
• Termites and rodents: make sure we can get into the attic, garage, and any crawl spaces.

Tell us about pets, children, allergies, or anyone in the home with health concerns, so we can plan the treatment and re-entry times.

During the visit

Inspection first. We start by finding out what's going on: which pest, where it's living, how it's getting in, and what's attracting it. Identifying the pest matters, because different pests need different treatments.

A clear explanation. Before we treat, we tell you what we found and what we recommend. If something isn't part of the service, like sealing entry points or treating areas we can't reach, we say so.

Treatment. We treat the problem areas inside and outside the home as needed, following every product label. Labels are legal requirements, and they set where a product can go and how people and pets should stay off treated areas.

Before we leave. We tell you what we did, how long to stay off treated areas, and what to expect over the next few days.

After the visit

Some activity is normal at first. With many pests, you may see some activity for a few days while the treatment takes effect. Roaches may come out of hiding, and ants may keep visiting baits before activity drops.

Follow-up visits. Some services, like German cockroach, bed bug, and flea treatments, include a planned follow-up visit. For recurring plans, we come back on the agreed schedule.

Between visits. If pests come back between scheduled visits on an active plan, call or text us with what you're seeing and where. Follow-up visits are provided when your service and plan include them, and we'll explain what's covered.
