Are pest control treatments safe for kids and pets, and how do you ensure safety during and after service?

Quick Answer

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.

Detailed Answer

Pest control Athens GA families shouldn’t have to choose between protection and safety. As a licensed, insured exterminator Athens GA homeowners trust, Pete’s Pest Patrol follows an Integrated Pest Management plan that minimizes chemical use and maximizes peace of mind.

1. Kid- and pet-friendly products – We rely on reduced-risk, EPA-registered baits, gels, and micro-encapsulated sprays that stay where they’re applied and dry clear with no lingering odor or residue.

2. Certified technicians – Every pro holds state operator licenses and advanced termite, pest, and mosquito certifications, so treatments are mixed and applied exactly to label specs.

3. Clear prep guidance – Before we arrive, we’ll email a short checklist: put away toys and food bowls, cover aquariums, and keep little feet and paws indoors.

4. Safe service window – During treatment we block off work zones, ventilate if we’re inside, and ask that children and pets remain out until surfaces are dry—usually 30 minutes to two hours.

5. Post-visit assurance – Your technician walks the property with you, answers questions, and leaves a written re-entry time plus our Pet Safety tips for future reference.

From ant control to mosquito control Athens GA yards, every visit is designed to keep pests out and your loved ones safe. Request your free estimate today to get started.
