III.PROCESS

How a Pest Control Program Works

1. 1

   Initial inspection — a licensed pest control technician walks the interior, exterior, garage, and accessible attic or crawlspace to identify pests, entry points, and moisture sources.

2. 2

   Initial treatment — a more thorough first service knocks down existing activity inside and out, including baiting for ants or cockroaches where needed.

3. 3

   Program schedule — you choose quarterly or bi-monthly service, and visits are booked on the calendar so you never have to call to request them.

4. 4

   Recurring perimeter service — each visit treats the foundation line, eaves, doors, windows, and landscaping transitions, plus interior areas when activity calls for it.

5. 5

   Monitoring and bait stations — rodent stations and monitors are checked, serviced, and moved as activity changes.

6. 6

   Visit notes — you receive a summary of what was treated, what was found, and any conditions that are drawing pests in.

7. 7

   Repair recommendations — construction-related entry points, like gaps, damaged screens, and leaks, are quoted separately so the root cause gets fixed.

VI.FAQ

Pest Control — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does pest control cost in the South Bay?

Recurring residential pest control in the South Bay typically runs about $100–$175 per visit for a standard single-family home on a quarterly plan. The first service usually costs more, often $150–$300, because it covers a heavier knockdown. Price depends on home and lot size, how severe the activity is, whether interior service is needed, bi-monthly versus quarterly scheduling, and whether rodent stations are part of the program. Rodent exclusion work is quoted separately. Paragon gives you a firm price after the initial inspection.

Is quarterly or bi-monthly pest control better?

Quarterly service works for most South Bay homes that don't have an active problem. It keeps a protective perimeter in place through each season. Bi-monthly service makes more sense for homes with recurring Argentine ant pressure, heavy landscaping, nearby open space or canyons, a past rodent problem, or a history of cockroaches. Some homeowners start bi-monthly to get activity under control, then switch to quarterly once it settles down. The technician will recommend a frequency based on what the inspection actually finds.

Why do I still have ants after pest control?

It's common to see ants for a week or two after treatment. Non-repellent products and baits work because foragers pick them up and carry them back to the colony, so you may see more activity before it drops off. Argentine ant colonies also span entire neighborhoods, so new ants can move in from next door. If activity continues past about two weeks, or ants show up between scheduled visits, call us and we will schedule a follow-up treatment. Wiping trails with soapy water helps; spraying store-bought repellents over baits works against the treatment.

Is pest control safe for kids and pets?

Licensed technicians apply products registered for residential use, following the label directions, and the modern approach relies heavily on targeted baits and crack-and-crevice applications instead of broad spraying. For exterior perimeter treatments, the usual guidance is to keep children and pets away from treated areas until the product has dried. The technician will tell you the specific re-entry instructions for your visit. Let us know about pets, aquariums, vegetable gardens, or anyone in the household with sensitivities, and the treatment plan is adjusted to fit.

How do I get rid of roof rats in my attic?

Getting rid of roof rats takes three steps: reduce the population, seal the entry points, and remove the pathways to your roof. Bait stations and traps handle the first step. Then every gap larger than about a quarter inch at eaves, attic vents, roof returns, and pipe openings needs to be closed with durable materials like hardware cloth or sheet metal. Tree limbs, palm fronds, and vines touching the house should be cut back. Paragon can do the sealing and vent screening itself as a licensed contractor.

Does recurring pest control cover termites?

No. General pest control covers ants, cockroaches, spiders, silverfish, rodents, and similar household pests, but termites are handled as a separate service. Drywood and subterranean termites call for a dedicated inspection, a written report, and specific treatment methods that aren't part of a perimeter program. That said, recurring visits are a good time to spot warning signs like frass pellets, mud tubes, or discarded wings. If a technician sees any of those, they'll flag it, and Paragon can schedule a termite inspection.
