Welcome to ChemTec Pest Control! We are excited to offer you quality pest control!
Full payment is collected before service, so please have your debit/credit card, personal check or cash ready.
This is a 1-treatment process for the interior of the home and a 2-treatment process for the backyard. If time allows, you will receive 2 texts and 2 emails before each appointment. You will only need to confirm once for the initial treatment and once for the follow-up.
The weather is unpredictable and we may need to reschedule at anytime due to the wind or rain.
All pesticides used by a licensed pest control company are child-friendly and pet-friendly when dry.
In flea and tick control, sanitation is essential. The following steps must be completed before we arrive to perform each treatment. If you are not prepared for service, please request more time before the scheduled appointment. Success of our treatment depends on you!
If the prep is not complete when the technician arrives, they will not perform service and a trip charge will be applied.
UNCONFIRMED APPOINTMENT: If you do not respond to our texts or emails for notification of service, we will assume you want to cancel the service. We do not show up for unconfirmed appointments.
If you have any questions, please call us at (806) 773-0527.
*********************************************
PRE-TREATMENT PREPARATION – INTERIOR:
1. Remove all items from the floors (clothes piles, boxes, papers, books, etc.) so we can apply the product more efficiently. We will not treat if you have items on the floor.
2. Remove as much clutter as possible. Everything must remain off the floors until dry. Leave furniture in place, so this will not disturb the areas we need to treat.
3. Vacuum or shampoo carpets and furniture, including under the furniture and between the cushions, etc. Carefully empty contents of the vacuum canister into a plastic bag, seal it tightly, and dispose of it in an outdoor trash receptacle.
4. Children’s toys, pet toys, food dishes, and exposed food should be placed in a protected area.
5. If you applied any dust to bed frames, baseboards or floors, it must be removed completely before our service. Our product will not adhere to a surface that has dust on it. If you applied dust to the exterior, it needs to be washed away.
6. Arrange to have your pets out of the house during the treatment and for approximately 1 hour afterwards. The carpet must be dry before they return. (This is a good time to have them treated at your veterinarian.) Aquariums containing fish, reptiles, etc. should be covered, and aerators should be turned off.
7. There may be a slight smell, so please be ready to spend some time outside of the residence.
AFTER INITIAL TREATMENT – INTERIOR:
1. Do not shampoo carpet after treatment for at least 30 days.
2. No pets or humans are allowed in the room during treatment. No one should re-enter treated rooms until all surfaces have dried (approximately 1 hour).
3. Wash pet bedding at least once a week in hot, soapy water until the infestation has been eliminated.
4. Vacuum frequently to remove any remaining fleas, eggs, and flea dirt (feces and dried blood that adults leave behind and the larvae feed on). The vibration of the vacuum also stimulates fleas to come out of their cocoons, exposing them to the pesticide.
5. Work with your veterinarian to maintain treatment for your pets.
*********************************************
PRE-TREATMENT PREPARATION – EXTERIOR BACKYARD:
1. We will need access to your front and back yards. Do not run your sprinklers the night before, so the product can adhere to the landscape.
2. Mow and weed eat the grass as short as possible, as insects have to move across the grass to contact the insecticide. The shorter the lawn is mowed, the better the coverage is.
3. Remove as much animal waste (poop) as possible.
4. Pick up all toys in the yards.
5. Remove pet food and water dishes from the treatment areas.
6. Remove as much clutter as possible before the treatment.
7. Arrange to have your pets in a kennel in the garage or off the property. We cannot and will not service your property with pets in treatment areas.
AFTER INITIAL TREATMENT – EXTERIOR:
1. DO NOT RUN THE SPRINKLERS WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER SERVICE.
2. Please DO NOT let your pets or children return to any area until the product is dry (approximately 1 hour).
*********************************************
PREPARATION FOR FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION – EXTERIOR ONLY (TWO WEEKS LATER):
UNCONFIRMED FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT: If you do not respond to our texts or emails for notification of service, we will assume you want to cancel the service. We do not show up for unconfirmed appointments.
NO-SHOW FOR FOLLOW-UP APPOINTMENT: If the technician arrives and you are not available between the confirmed hours, we will not wait. You will forfeit your free follow-up.
1. We will need access to your back yard. Do not run your sprinklers the night before, so the product can adhere to the landscape.
2. Mow and weedeat the grass as short as possible, as insects have to move across the grass to contact the insecticide. The shorter the lawn is mowed, the better the coverage is.
3. Remove as much animal waste (poop) as possible.
4. Pick up all toys in the yards.
5. Remove pet food and water dishes from the treatment areas.
AFTER FOLLOW-UP TREATMENT:
1. DO NOT RUN THE SPRINKLERS WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER SERVICE.
2. DO NOT let your pets or children return to any area until the product is dry (approximately 1 hour).
*************************************************
CONTINUED MAINTENANCE
1. Keep mowing your grass and weedeating as short as possible.
2. Wash pet bedding frequently.
3. Vacuum frequently.
4. Keep animal waste picked up to help eliminate pest attraction.
5. Due to the environmental factors breaking down the potency of the pesticides on the exterior, treatment is recommended every 30-45 days.
6. If you would prefer continuous protection, you will need bi-monthly service. This program will cover other pests as well. Ask us for details.
7. Success of our treatment depends on you. SANITATION IS ESSENTIAL!
