Frequently Asked Questions

For routine residential pest control service, you generally don’t need to leave the house. This includes pets as well. With traditional service, such as a liquid spray, you do need to make sure that all pets and children are kept off of the treated surface areas until they are dry. The materials generally dry within 20-30 minutes.

Some specialty services, like bed bug treatments and flea treatments, require all pets and persons to be out of the home for a period of time. This is not the case with routine pest control service.

Yes! At Patton Termite & Pest Control we do not give you a generic window of time for service.  We call you to schedule the appointment on a day and time that works best for you. We try our best to be on time, usually no later or earlier than about 15 minutes within the scheduled time. If we are going to miss that time frame, we will call you. Patton tries to make scheduling easy and convenient for every client.

No, you do not need to pull things away from the wall. We work around the furniture and objects in your home or office. Patton strives to cause as little disruption as possible

Yes! We are very happy that you aren’t seeing bugs. The absence of pests is the result of effective service. To maintain a pest free environment in your home, however, you shouldn’t skip services. The materials will break down and wear off after time. With the pest pressures in Wichita, we recommend sticking with an every other month pest control program. We stay ahead of pests by inspecting and responding to changing, seasonal needs.

Patton treats structural pests. This generally does not include the yard. Our main concern is inside and outside of the home and garage and around the foundation, door seals and windows. We do offer some specialty services, however, for fleas, ticks and mosquitoes in the yard. If you have health-related pests that sting, bite, or suck blood we can extend the service to your property lines. Usually we charge extra for the extended service so give us a call to see what the right approach is for your needs. We can assess your residential pest control needs in Wichita and surrounding areas and come up with a solution specifically for you!
