We don\u2019t apply chemical products indiscriminately; in fact, many companies who do so have to dilute the concentration of their pesticide to save wastage and costs. Unlike them, we focus our treatment on specific areas with a product approved by Health Canada. And if you have a special request or a particular place where you\u2019d like us to spray, we will be happy to do that as well.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1500046182794{background-color: #ebebeb !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Service_Text_Margin Service_Col_Padding&#8221;][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Title_Text&#8221;]\n<h2>How long should I wait before washing my windows after outdoor spraying?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;SubTitle_Paragraph_Text&#8221;]We recommend waiting 24 hours, after which you can wash or rinse your windows with a hose or pressure washer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1500046187456{background-color: #e0e0e0 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Service_Text_Margin Service_Col_Padding&#8221;][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Title_Text&#8221;]\n<h2>Should I continue annual exterior spraying beyond two years?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;SubTitle_Paragraph_Text&#8221;]A preventive treatment helps you avoid unforeseen events and rises in insect populations that we can\u2019t control. An infestation problem can occur even if there is no visible nest on your land. In fact, a colony often originates on a neighbour\u2019s property and migrates to your home.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; equal_columns=&#8221;true&#8221; el_class=&#8221;row-faq&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1500046182794{background-color: #ebebeb !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Service_Text_Margin Service_Col_Padding&#8221;][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Title_Text&#8221;]\n<h2>Following an ant-control treatment, is it normal to still see live ants?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;SubTitle_Paragraph_Text&#8221;]Yes! During the actual pest-control intervention, some ants will be exterminated, but keep in mind that our goal is to eliminate the hidden colony. For that, we need live ants to carry the pesticide to the others at the nest. Our approach and timing are calculated very carefully; if we drown the visible ants in poison, the colony will perceive that there is a problem and evacuate the nest. We don\u2019t want the colony to simply move from one place to another in your home. With our approach, all the ants will eventually die after encountering the pest-control products we apply.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1500046187456{background-color: #e0e0e0 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Service_Text_Margin Service_Col_Padding&#8221;][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Title_Text&#8221;]\n<h2>Can I apply a pesticide myself, or should I deal with a pest control service?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;SubTitle_Paragraph_Text&#8221;]There are many ready-to-use pesticides on the market, but by working with a certified extermination specialist, you\u2019re guaranteed that the treatment will be suitable and effective. Elite Extermination technicians can identify the exact kind of insect and carry out a treatment using the correct dosages to solve the problem.
