Questions people ask about this
Should I clean before or after pest treatment?
Clean and declutter before so products reach harborage areas. Afterwards, avoid mopping or wiping treated baseboards and cracks for the period your technician specifies — usually one to two weeks — or you remove the residual you paid for.
Do I need to cover my fish tank during treatment?
Yes. Cover aquariums with plastic and turn off air pumps during any interior spraying or aerosol application, since fish and invertebrates are extremely sensitive to pyrethroids, then restore airflow once the room is dry and ventilated.
