How Often Should Pest Control Be Done? Let’s Break It Down (And Laugh While We Do It)

Let’s face it—pests aren’t just creepy. They’re freeloaders. Ants line up like they’re waiting for concert tickets in your kitchen. Spiders build mansions in your corners. And don’t even get us started on cockroaches—they think they own the place.

So, the million-dollar question: how often should pest control be done? The answer depends on the kind of pests you’re dealing with and your tolerance for uninvited houseguests. But first, let’s tackle the basics.

(Oh, and if you’ve had enough already, check out our no-nonsense one-time exterminator solution. One visit, and poof—problem solved.)

The Quarterly Club

For most households, quarterly pest control hits the sweet spot. Four times a year, Simpl Pest Control swoops in like superheroes with glue traps, barriers, and baits to keep your home fortress bug-free.

Why quarterly? Pests follow the seasons, like vacationers chasing the sun. Each season brings its unique pest problems—ants in the spring, mosquitoes in the summer, and spiders in the fall. Regular treatments ensure no bug overstays its welcome.

Special Circumstances

  • Living in a bug haven: Got a lush lawn or a creek nearby? You may need monthly pest control to keep mosquitoes, roaches, and other critters in check.
  • Big infestations: If your home’s starting to feel like the set of A Bug’s Life, you’ll want an immediate one-time exterminator to handle the situation. Start here: Simpl’s one-time extermination service.
  • Businesses: For commercial properties, pest control every month ensures your customers see clean counters, not crawling critters.

DIY Doesn’t Cut It

Maybe you’ve thought, “I’ll just spray some bug killer and call it a day.” Spoiler alert: it’s not that easy. Pests hide in the places you least expect, like behind the fridge or in the walls. Simpl Pest Control knows where to look and how to keep them from coming back.

Simpl’s Golden Rule

The key to pest-free living is consistency. A regular schedule ensures pests never get the chance to settle in, throw housewarming parties, or invite their friends.

With Simpl Pest Control, you get personalized recommendations for how often pest control should be done based on your home, your yard, and your tolerance for spiders named Kevin in your bathroom.
