Pure Pest FAQs

A service program comes with year round guarantee, while a one-time treatment is only guaranteed for a short period of time. The majority of pest issues are best resolved in a proactive and preventative manner, as opposed to trying to fix an infestation after it’s begun.

Most treatments require 7-10 days to be fully effective, but your technician will educate you based on the service being provided.

With the exception of our mosquito reduction program and jobs requiring roof access, all of our treatments can be performed in the rain. We use products with micro-encapsulated pesticides that are actually activated by the rain, and granular products that blend well with moisture.

While the bugs may change, the winter is still a time to be vigilant with your pest management. Smaller flying insects like mosquitos and gnats will be reduced by the cold, but rodents will be seeking warmer temperatures during that time as well. Additionally, pests that need indoor moisture like roaches and drain flies will still be present regardless of the temperature outside. For these reasons, Pure Pest has designed a year round treatment plan designed to protect your St. Louis area home.

At Pure Pest, we offer both eco-friendly and traditional treatment options. Both treatment options have benefits and drawbacks, and we are always glad to discuss these with you.
