❓ Common Questions — Edinburg Pest Control

Are cockroaches dangerous or just a nuisance?
German cockroaches trigger asthma and allergies — their shed skins and feces are a documented asthma trigger, particularly for children. They also spread bacteria. American cockroaches (palmetto bugs) are less of a health risk but indicate moisture problems.
How do I find a reputable pest control company in Edinburg?
Check for a current Texas 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.
