Why does Honest only offer monthly treatments?
We take a progressive approach to our treatment frequency. At Honest Pest Services, we understand your concerns and strive to provide the most effective pest control solutions.
Our decision to offer monthly treatments is based on a combination of factors, including our extensive experience in the industry and the evolving nature of pest behavior and product effectiveness. As climate change has significantly impacted pest reproduction and tolerance to treatments. Many product manufacturers now recommend more frequent applications to maintain consistent protection.
In the past, when seasons were more predictable, bi-monthly or quarterly treatments may have been sufficient. However, with the unpredictable weather patterns we experience today, the effectiveness of exterior treatments can be significantly reduced by rain, extreme temperatures, and other environmental factors. This can leave your home vulnerable to pest infestations.
By offering monthly treatments, we can ensure that your home remains consistently protected throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions. Our 100% guarantee and free warranty services further demonstrate our commitment to your satisfaction.

Why does Honest only offer two service time wondows either morning or evening?

We understand that the scheduled service times may not always be perfectly convenient for everyone. However, offering morning (to noon) and afternoon (to evening) service windows allows our Certified Applicators to provide efficient service without feeling rushed to get to their next appointment. This flexibility also helps accommodate unexpected occurrences such as flat tires, accidents, traffic delays, and other unforeseen circumstances.
Why does Honest only offer year round Mosquito treatments?
It’s a common misconception that pests disappear during the winter. However, the truth is that our warm homes provide ideal nesting grounds for pests like mosquitoes, even in the coldest months. These pests seek shelter in weep holes, eaves, standing water, and other hidden areas to stay warm and reproduce.
The reason you might see mosquitoes in the middle of winter is due to temperature fluctuations and climate changes. Mosquitoes can become active at temperatures as low as 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and their eggs can survive in dormant states until warmer weather arrives. Even a winter storm can create stagnant water that allows mosquito eggs to hatch.
Also Aedes eggs known as time-capsules, laid in the summer and fall can easily hatch in water that settles after a winter storm, or simply from watering plants. So while it looks like mosquito numbers decrease during the cold season, stagnant water and climate changes is a major factor that can increase active.
Therefore, it’s important to remain vigilant about pest control throughout the year, regardless of the season.
