Frequently asked questions: PEST CONTROL

 

do I have to be home for application?

Nobody is required to be home during the application. We ask that you leave a gate unlocked, or leave other instructions with SafeYard staff to make sure we can access all areas of your property. If you’re home, please stay inside while we spray and wait 45 minutes or so until the product is dry before going outside again.

How long does it last?

For our standard barrier spray each application should last anywhere from 3-4 weeks.

Will the application harm my plants or stain my furniture?

The products that we use dries clear and odorless, except for the plant based application which has a mild scent post application. There is no scent in our standard barrier spray. We do not use any product that isn’t safe to apply directly to apply your plants, furniture or home exterior. All the products are tested and approved by the EPA.

should i mow my lawn prior to application?

If possible, mow your lawn prior to application. If this isn’t possible or you forgot, don’t worry! Most mosquitoes spend their time in vegetation taller than ankle height, so while we do spray your grass, it’s not the most crucial piece of the pest control puzzle. Plus, you aren’t cutting off more than 1/3 or so of each blade so there will be plenty of product left to go to work for you. Please wait at least a few hours after application to mow your yard.

Do you have a referral program?

We love to give out discounts! Refer your friends or neighbors and earn credits towards future services.

How does your pricing work?

We use Google Maps for the majority of our estimating and price out on a variety of factors: lot size, landscaping, proximity to other yards on our schedule and for areas outside of Horace/Fargo/Moorhead we factor in our travel time. We have some neighborhoods/towns with special group rates (Osgood, Horace, Mapleton, Marten’s Way, Rivers Bend all have discounts, to name a few!). If you’ve got a group of neighbors interested in having us out to spray, please let us know and we’ll take care of you!

can I run my sprinklers? What if it rains?

Yes! You can run your sprinklers, we just ask that you pause them the day of application to ensure they don’t run directly after the application takes place. Once the product is dry, it’s set and can withstand normal rainfall and/or irrigation. We are unable to provide our services while your sprinklers are running.
