Factors To Consider
Its time to talk about how often to do pest control.
Its very situational, says Benson.
Every pest problem and structure is different so theres no one-size-fits all approach.

How Often Should Pest Control Be Done?
Generally,most professional pest control is done quarterly or annually, says Benson.

You dont have to just ride it out, says Benson.
If you see something, dont wait until theyre scheduled to come out in two months.
Thats especially important if youre only contracted for annual visits because a lot can happen in between inspections.
