Frequently Asked Questions
What repairs are included in Lakewood Exterminating’s mouse service?
The initial service includes ground-level patchwork repairs to potential exterior entry points within a one-square-foot area; listed materials include spray foam, Xcluder/copper fabric and clear sealant. Interior repairs, work requiring a ladder or different materials, and repairs exceeding that area are excluded.
Does Lakewood Exterminating treat indoors under its quarterly plan?
Scheduled treatments are exterior by default. An interior treatment for an active infestation must be requested in advance.
Does Lakewood Exterminating schedule bed bug treatment based on bites alone?
No; live bed bugs must be found before treatment is scheduled. Bites alone do not qualify for a retreatment.
How long must occupants leave during Lakewood Exterminating’s two-treatment cockroach service?
For the first visit, occupants must vacate for two to three hours or until the spray has dried. Whether they need to leave for the second treatment is determined during the initial service.
