Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Pete’s Pest Patrol uses low-odor, EPA-approved products and targeted application methods that are proven safe once they’ve dried. Our technicians give clear prep and re-entry instructions, ask homeowners to keep kids and pets away while surfaces are wet, and perform post-service checks to ensure your family can return to treated areas with confidence.

Absolutely. Every product we apply is EPA-registered and labeled for use in commercial kitchens, dining rooms, and other customer-facing areas. Our Georgia-licensed technicians follow state and local health codes, use Integrated Pest Management, and provide safety data sheets so you stay compliant and can keep serving customers without worry.

Yes. Pete’s Pest Patrol supplies lender-ready paperwork for every visit. Our certified inspectors produce itemized pest inspection reports, documented treatment records, and Official Georgia Wood-Destroying Insect Reports (WDIR) that meet VA, FHA, and conventional loan requirements—so your real estate closing stays on schedule.

Yes! Pete’s Pest Patrol offers seasonal mosquito control that treats your entire yard. We are now offering spray free mosquito treatment using the In2care system which is a pollinator friendly approach to mosquito control. Each application knocks down adult mosquitoes quickly and keeps new swarms away for about 21–30 days, so we recommend follow-up visits every three to four weeks to maintain bite-free outdoor fun.

Absolutely. Our team builds a custom pest control program for each space—kitchen, storage, dining area, or showroom—based on pest pressure, equipment, and foot traffic. After a free inspection, we choose targeted products and adjust service frequency seasonally, adding summer fly barriers or winter rodent sweeps so you stay compliant and pest-free year-round.

Yes. Pete’s Pest Patrol offers year-round maintenance plans with pre-scheduled service visits and inspections, so your property stays inspection-ready. Choose our Plus, Premium, or Pete’s Plan and licensed technicians return automatically—quarterly for general pests, with annual termite checks and free re-services when needed.

Yes. Pete’s Pest Patrol offers customized multi-unit service plans for property managers and one-call coordination across all your properties. You get a single point of contact, grouped service dates, and digital service reports that simplify access, billing, and tenant communication.

We start with a thorough outside-in examination: look for mud tubes, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, swarmers and moisture issues, then move inside to probe baseboards, crawl spaces and attic framing. We use flashlights, moisture meters and mirrors and document findings in a written Wood-Destroying Insect Report with recommend treatment.

Crawl space encapsulation seals off the damp earth under your home with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, dehumidifier, and proper drainage. By blocking outside moisture and stale air, you starve termites, ants, and rodents of the damp environment they crave, while keeping indoor humidity and musty odors in check.

We can normally inspect a vacant unit the same day you call, having it ready for new tenants within 24–48 hours as long as the rooms are prepared for our treatment.

Most emergency calls are answered the same day, usually within two to three hours, and our technician begins treatment immediately upon arrival. If you’re in or around Athens, GA, call anytime and we’ll be on-site fast.

Yes. Our Worry-Free Pest Protection Plans put an end to recurring ants and spiders. We start with a thorough interior-and-exterior treatment, then return every quarter (four times a year) to refresh the barrier. If pests pop up between visits, just call and we’ll re-treat at no extra charge. We will return every 2 or 3 months depending on the purchased protection plan. Bi-monthly treatment plans are also available.

After every Pete’s Pest Patrol visit, you get a same-day service report (emailed) detailing pests found, areas treated, products applied, technician credentials, safety notes, and follow-up recommendations. This clear, timestamped document makes it easy to reassure tenants, satisfy ownership, and track progress toward a pest-free property.

Every visit comes with a signed digital service ticket that lists target pests, treatment areas, products and EPA numbers. We also maintain a master records that hold everything a state health inspector or third-party food-safety auditor needs to verify compliance.

A one-time pest control visit targets the immediate infestation, while a recurring plan schedules routine treatments and inspections to break breeding cycles and block re-entry. For stubborn, fast-breeding pests like ants, spiders, and roaches, a recurring plan is the smarter, more cost-effective choice for lasting relief.
