Frequently Asked Questions

Ant Control

  • HOW DID I GET ANTS?

    Ants invade homes looking for food and water. So if you leave dirty dishes in the sink, food residue on your counters, or crumbs on the floor, you’re essentially inviting meal-seeking ants into your home. This becomes a problem when those ants set up their nests in your walls, on your lawn, and around your home’s foundation.

  • HOW SERIOUS ARE ANTS?

    Ant infestations are a pretty big deal. One of the biggest problems related to ants is food contamination. Ants carry bacteria on their bodies, which spreads when they crawl in your sink and across your countertops. Now, only a few ant species carry insect-borne diseases, but finding any ants in your home is an unpleasant surprise.

  • I HAVE ANTS! WHAT DO I DO NEXT?

    To get your ant problem under control, a proper inspection is your very first step. This allows us to design a unique program for your specific situation. So please give us a call at (910) 813-7614 to schedule your ant inspection. Our team is thoroughly trained in eliminating ant colonies and will keep these pests where they belong: out of your business and home.

Bed Bugs

  • DO I NEED TO THROW AWAY MY MATTRESS?

    The answer to this question depends on your mattress’s condition and the size of the bed bug infestation. If there are holes or tears in the mattress, bed bugs and their eggs may be harboring inside. So we usually recommend discarding the mattress in this case. But if your mattress is in good shape and the infestation isn’t severe, we carry mattress-safe encasements and active guard liners. Both of these products are effective as preventative and proactive bed bug treatments.

  • WHAT DO BED BUG BITES LOOK LIKE & DO THEY CARRY DISEASES?

    Let’s set the record straight… bed bugs do NOT transmit diseases through their bites. They do, however, suck blood from their host with piercing mouthparts, but the bite itself is painless. Bed bugs also do not live under the skin. Their bites often appear as red, itchy bumps or welts on the skin, usually on the arms or shoulders. So if you’re noticing bites like this on your skin, please call us at (910) 813-7614 today!

  • HOW DO I PREVENT BED BUGS FROM ENTERING MY HOME?

    After we treat your home for bed bugs, we recommend that you inspect any used furniture you purchase before bringing it into your home. This is especially true for bed frames, mattresses, and couches. We also recommend that you check for bed bugs in your hotel room while traveling. You may want to inspect or vacuum your luggage and wash any clothing you used on this trip once you get home.

  • HOW MUCH DOES A BED BUG TREATMENT COST?

    Pricing for bed bug treatments starts at $300 per room. Pricing includes the initial treatment and 2 follow-up visits. Your exact price will depend on the size of the infestation and how many rooms are affected. So we recommend you call (910) 813-7614 to schedule your bed bug inspection today! We’ll check your mattress, box spring, bed frame, head & footboards, furniture, walls, and carpet for these blood-sucking pests.

  • DO I NEED TO LEAVE MY HOME DURING THE TREATMENT?

    This depends on the severity of your bed bug infestation. On average, our bed bug treatments take 1 to 2 hours per room to complete. Furthermore, it’s unlikely that all the bed bugs will be killed in the initial treatment, so we recommend two follow-up visits spaced ten days apart. To get an accurate estimate, please call (910) 813-7614. We’ll gladly answer this question and any other bed bug questions you have.

  • HOW LONG DO BED BUG TREATMENTS LAST FOR?

    We guarantee our bed bug treatment for 180 days. Of course, most of our customers enjoy the results of our bed bug treatment for much longer than that. We do a great job of assessing your unique situation, implementing a proper solution, and monitoring activity after the job is done! To schedule your service, please call (910) 813-7614.

Roach Control

  • HOW DID I GET ROACHES?

    The most common culprit is poor housekeeping. But cleaning your kitchen, floors, and bathrooms sometimes isn’t enough. Roaches are accomplished hitchhikers, which means they can also get in by riding boxes, hiding in furniture, and latching onto other items brought into your home. Furthermore, roaches can enter through cracks and gaps in your walls and drains or sewer pipes. So your best bet is to call (910) 813-7614 to schedule your FREE roach inspection! We’ll pinpoint the type of roach you have and the issue causing them to come back for more.

  • HOW SERIOUS ARE ROACH INFESTATIONS?

    Not only are roaches one of the most common pest problems in Fayetteville, NC, but they’re also one of the hardest to eliminate. The reason for this is that roaches are often scattered throughout your home, have high breeding potential, and can develop a resistance to pesticides. This is problematic because roaches transfer E. coli and salmonella from one food source to the next. So if you’re dealing with a roach problem, or simply want to protect your home from future infestations, please call (910) 813-7614 today!

  • HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET RID OF ROACHES?

    The answer depends on the species and severity of the infestation. Keep in mind many over-the-counter solutions are ineffective and sometimes even make the problem worse. Roaches are incredibly adaptable, which means they can scatter through your home and develop a resistance to do-it-yourself treatments. So we recommend calling (910) 813-7614 to schedule your FREE roach inspection. This will allow us to give you an estimate of how long it’ll take to get rid of roaches in your home.

Fleas

  • HOW DID I GET FLEAS?

    Flea infestations usually start with your cat or dog. These pests attach themselves to your pets when they’re outside, and then infest their fur and areas they sleep indoors. This means to control fleas successfully, you need to treat the inside of your home and your yard! Luckily, Sure Kill Pest Elimination can help. If you’re dealing with a flea infestation, or want to safeguard your home from these jumping pests, call (910) 813-7614 today!

  • ARE FLEAS DANGEROUS?

    Flea bites leave you with swollen, itchy marks. Hence the reason why your pets scratch so much after they’ve been bitten. And, in some cases, flea bites cause allergic reactions in humans. But the real problem is fleas carry insect-borne diseases just like mosquitoes and ticks. According to the CDC, the number of illnesses caused by flea bites tripled from 2004 to 2016. So if you’re dealing with a flea infestation, you need to act fast!

  • HOW DO I GET RID OF FLEAS?

    Flea control starts with your pet(s). There are plenty of options available to treat your cat or dog, and these should be discussed with your veterinarian. Next, call us at (910) 813-7614 to schedule your flea treatment. We’ll inspect your home, then use an insecticide and insect growth regulator to kill adult fleas and prevent future generations from breeding.

  • IF MY PETS TAKE MEDICINE, WHY SHOULD I TREAT MY YARD?

    Fleas love warm-blooded animals, like your pets. They consume 15 times their body weight in blood daily, which can cause anemia and significant blood loss. So we recommend that you supplement your flea and tick preventative with 2-3 flea treatments during the warmer months in Fayetteville, NC. This will create an additional line of defense from these pests.

  • HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE I CAN GO OUTSIDE?

    After we treat your yard for fleas, you need to ensure the product is completely dry before going outside. Depending on a variety of factors, like outdoor temperatures and humidity, we recommend you wait at least an hour to re-enter the treated area. After this time has elapsed, it is safe for you and your family to enjoy your deck, pool, and yard again!

  • HOW DANGEROUS ARE MOSQUITOES?
