Yes — and we take this seriously. We use only EPA-approved products, applied by trained technicians who know exactly how and where to use them safely. Before any treatment, we'll walk you through what to expect and whether you need to vacate any areas temporarily.

We also share simple precautions you can take after service — like keeping pets off treated areas until dry — so there's no guesswork on your end. If you have specific concerns about a product or your pet's sensitivities, just ask. We're always happy to discuss our options and find the right fit for your household.

Don't ignore it. One pest is rarely just one pest; where there's one, there's usually a colony nearby. Take a quick look around for other signs: droppings, shed skins, damage to wood or food packaging, or nests in dark corners.

If you're seeing repeated activity or signs of a larger problem, call us right away. We offer same-day emergency service and will send a technician to assess the situation, identify the species, and put a targeted treatment plan in place. We'll also walk you through what to watch for going forward so you can catch any recurrence early.

For most homeowners, an annual inspection is a solid baseline, but if you've had a previous infestation, live near a greenbelt, or start noticing activity, don't wait. Catching problems early is always cheaper and easier than treating an established infestation.

For commercial properties, especially those in food service, healthcare, or hospitality, quarterly inspections are strongly recommended. Regular professional visits keep you compliant with health standards and protect your reputation with customers and staff. Not sure what schedule is right for you? Give us a call, and we'll give you an honest recommendation.

The most effective prevention starts with making your property less inviting. Seal gaps around doors, windows, and your foundation; eliminate standing water; and keep food stored in airtight containers. Inside, regular cleaning and decluttering to remove the hiding spots pests love. Outside, keep mulch and firewood away from the building's exterior.

That said, San Antonio's climate means pests are persistent — even well-maintained homes can get hit. A proactive treatment plan with Accurate Pest Control adds a professional barrier layer that DIY measures simply can't replicate. We tailor every service to your specific property, so you're protected year-round, not just seasonally.
