How often will my home be treated?
Most customers choose a recurring pest control program to provide ongoing protection. Routine treatments help stop pests before they become a problem and are one of the most effective ways to maintain long-term control. Your technician will recommend a service schedule based on your home and pest activity.
What does your pest control guarantee include?
Our recurring pest control programs come with a satisfaction guarantee. If pests return between scheduled visits, simply give us a call and we’ll come back to retreat your home at no additional cost. Your peace of mind is our priority.
What does your pest control process look like?
We start with a thorough inspection by a certified exterminator to identify the pests and entry points around your home. From there, we work with you to create a customized treatment plan, followed by routine services designed to prevent future infestations and keep your home pest-free year-round.
What pests are covered under your general pest control service?
Our pest control services cover a wide range of common household pests, including ants, spiders, cockroaches, fleas, ticks, flies, mosquitoes, rodents, birds, and certain wildlife such as moles, gophers, and possums. If you’re dealing with a pest not listed, our technicians can inspect your home and let you know the best solution.
Termite Control FAQs
Can I prevent termites from coming back after treatment?
Yes. Along with treatment, we provide professional recommendations to help reduce the risk of future termite activity. This may include addressing moisture issues, sealing entry points, and ongoing monitoring to protect your home long-term.
How do I know if I have termites?
Termites often go unnoticed until damage has already occurred. Common warning signs include mud tubes along foundation walls, damaged or hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near windows or doors, and visible swarms. Because termites can be difficult to spot, a professional inspection is the best way to confirm activity.
How do termites get into my home?
Termites can enter through small cracks in the foundation, expansion joints, hollow block walls, and even travel up foundation walls and piers. These entry points often go unnoticed, making professional inspections critical for early detection.
How does your termite treatment process work?
If termites are found, we’ll recommend a customized treatment plan based on the termite species and severity of the infestation. Our approach is designed to eliminate active termites and help protect your home from future infestations.
What happens during a termite inspection?
One of our expert termite technicians will perform a free, thorough inspection of both the interior and exterior of your property. We look for signs of termite activity, damage, and conditions that may attract termites so we can determine the best course of action.
Why are termites such a serious problem?
Termites feed on wood 24 hours a day, which means even a small infestation can lead to significant structural damage over time. Left untreated, termites can compromise the integrity of your home and result in costly repairs.
Bed Bug Control FAQs
Are bed bugs dangerous to my health?
While bed bugs are not known to spread disease, they can cause itchy bites, skin irritation, allergic reactions, and significant stress or anxiety. Bed bug infestations often impact sleep and peace of mind, which is why fast, professional treatment is so important.
Do your bed bug treatments come with a warranty?
Yes. Our bed bug treatments are backed by a 60-day warranty. If bed bugs return within that period, we’ll provide follow-up services at no additional cost, giving you confidence that the problem is fully resolved.
How can I tell if I have bed bugs?
Common signs of bed bugs include itchy bite marks, small blood stains on sheets, dark spots on mattresses or furniture, and seeing live bugs in seams or cracks. If you’re waking up with unexplained bites, a professional inspection is the fastest way to confirm a bed bug problem.
How does bed bug heat treatment work?
Heat treatment raises the temperature of the affected areas to levels that are lethal to bed bugs at all life stages. Heat penetrates walls, furniture, and crevices where bed bugs hide, making it one of the fastest and most effective ways to eliminate an infestation. It’s also a great option for customers with allergies or chemical sensitivities.
How long does it take to get rid of bed bugs?
Heat treatments often resolve the problem in a single service, while chemical treatments may require follow-up visits. Regardless of the method used, we provide free follow-up services until the property is confirmed clear of bed bugs.
What bed bug treatment options do you offer?
Allstate Termite & Pest Solutions offers both heat treatments and chemical treatments for bed bugs. Our technicians will recommend the best option based on the severity of the infestation, the layout of the property, and your specific needs.
Rodent Control FAQs
Do you offer rodent control throughout Oklahoma and Arkansas?
Yes. Allstate Termite & Pest Solutions provides rodent control services across Oklahoma and Arkansas, with customized solutions tailored to the specific rodent pressures in these regions.
How do I know if I have a rodent problem?
Common signs of rodents include scratching noises in walls or ceilings, droppings, chewed wires or packaging, unpleasant odors, and visible nests. Even occasional sightings can indicate a larger issue, as mice and rats reproduce quickly.
How quickly can rodent control start working?
Many customers begin to notice reduced activity shortly after treatment begins. Because rodents are cautious by nature, complete elimination can take time, which is why follow-up inspections are an important part of our process.
What does your rodent control process include?
Our rodent control service begins with a thorough inspection to identify rodent activity and entry points. We then place bait stations in affected areas, eliminate food sources, treat infested spaces, and return for follow-up visits to monitor and adjust as needed.
Why are rodents dangerous to my home?
Rodents can cause serious damage by chewing electrical wires, which increases the risk of electrical fires. They can also spread disease, contaminate food, create strong odors, damage insulation, and even attract additional pests such as snakes.
Will rodent control disrupt my daily routine?
No. Our rodent control services are designed to be efficient and convenient for busy schedules. Technicians work quickly and strategically, minimizing disruption while delivering effective results.
Commercial Pest Control FAQs
Can you customize a pest control plan for my business?
Absolutely. No two businesses are alike, which is why your commercial pest technician will tailor a program specifically to your needs. We also offer services on an as-needed basis for businesses that require flexible solutions.
How is commercial pest control different from residential service?
Commercial pest control requires a more customized and proactive approach. Our dedicated commercial services team designs programs based on your industry, facility layout, operating hours, and regulatory requirements to ensure effective, discreet, and consistent pest management.
What additional commercial services do you offer?
In addition to general pest control, we offer specialized services such as fly control, bird control, odor control, rodent control, and exclusion services to help prevent pests from entering your facility in the first place.
What pest control methods do you use for commercial properties?
Allstate uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, combining inspections, monitoring, education, and preventive strategies to reduce pest activity long-term. This helps minimize chemical use while maximizing results.
What types of businesses do you provide commercial pest control for?
We provide commercial pest control services for a wide range of industries, including warehouses, factories, schools and daycare centers, multi-family housing, grocery stores, restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, retail locations, and more. If your business has pests, we have a solution.
Why is professional pest control important for businesses?
Pests can damage your reputation, disrupt operations, and create health and safety concerns for employees and customers. Professional pest control helps protect your brand, maintain compliance, and prevent pest issues before they impact your business.
