Frequently Asked Questions
How are residential service appointments scheduled?
Residential appointments use a two-hour arrival window. The window sets when the technician is expected to arrive, not how long the service will take.
Does American Pest require preparation before intensive services?
Yes. Treatment areas must be prepared in advance for infestations and other intensive services.
How are emergency service requests handled?
During scheduling, American Pest asks whether the customer needs emergency service within 24 hours or whether the problem can wait until the next service.
Can customers find out which products were used at a service?
A materials list may come with the service notes; if it was not included, a copy can be requested.
