❓ Common Questions — Lexington Park Pest Control

What's the best way to remove a tick?
Use fine-tipped tweezers, grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible, and pull upward with steady pressure. Don't twist, crush, or apply heat or petroleum jelly — those increase disease transmission risk. Clean the area with rubbing alcohol. Save the tick in a zip bag if you develop symptoms in the following weeks.
How do I find a reputable pest control company in Lexington Park?
Check for a current Maryland 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.
