When moving into a new home, what is the recommended timing to perform pest treatment?

• A. As soon as possible, with access to most walls
• B. After several months
• C. Only after a year
• D. On weekend if available

Answer: (A)

Timing matters because many pests hide inside wall voids and around hidden entry points. Doing the treatment as soon as possible, with access to most walls, lets the technician reach these hidden areas to apply interior treatments and establish a protective barrier before you move in or bring in belongings. This reduces the chance pests move in with you and helps limit any disruption during the move. Waiting months or a year gives pests time to establish themselves, making control harder and potentially needing more visits. Scheduling on weekends isn’t the key—what matters is addressing the property early and allowing access to walls so the treatment can be thorough.
