❓ Common Questions — Aurora Pest Control

Can I use poison bait myself or should I hire a pro?
DIY rodenticide bait is legal for homeowners, but the bigger issue is finding and sealing entry points (1/4" for mice, 1/2" for rats). Without exclusion, new rodents re-infest within weeks. A professional focuses on exclusion, not just bait — that's the lasting fix.
How do I find a reputable pest control company in Aurora?
Check for a current Colorado Department of Agriculture license, read Google and Yelp reviews from the last 12 months, and look for NPMA membership. Get at least two in-person quotes — phone estimates are rarely accurate for serious infestations.
Is pest control safe for my kids and pets?
Most professional treatments are safe once dry (typically 1–4 hours). Ask your technician for the specific products and their re-entry intervals. For sensitive households, ask about low-toxicity options like baits, dusts, and IGRs which minimize broadcast spray exposure.
What's the difference between one-time and ongoing pest control?
One-time treatments address an active infestation but provide no ongoing barrier. Quarterly service contracts maintain a perimeter treatment that prevents re-infestation — typically more cost-effective than repeated one-time calls once you've solved the initial problem.
