The first step is to make sure your home is clean by ensuring all food is properly stored and put away. Waynes can also help identify where entry points are for the pests and make sure those holes and crevices are sealed. Based on what we find, we will recommend a plan for your specific circumstances. This can include a bait approach that will target the ant colony and eradicate the ants for good.
Bees, Hornets, Wasps, and Other Pests
Hornets, wasps, and bees deserve a place to call their own, but not when it’s your home. The most effective way to eradicate an infestation from your home is to eliminate its source. If you think you may have an infestation, let a Waynes Service Professional conduct a thorough inspection and develop a treatment plan to help you win the war on these pests and gain back your home.

Huntsville Pest Control FAQs
What time of year is best for pest control?
Early spring is the best time for pest control in residential and commercial buildings. Spraying in spring helps you destroy pests' nests while their numbers remain low. With pest colonies at their lowest populations, the treatment should be more effective and last longer.
But if you wait for the number of pests to grow, controlling infestations at your home or business will become more challenging. You don’t have to wait until early spring to treat your home and take preventative measures against pests. If you believe there may be an infestation in your home, or if you spot insects or rodent activity in your home, it is never too early or too late to give us a call.
The treatment should be more effective and last longer with pest colonies at their lowest populations.
Keep in mind that spring is a rainy season, so we can expect to receive a great deal of rain. During this time, be sure not to apply pesticides to your yard or the perimeter of your home or business, if you know rain will be in the forecast.
Of course, pest activity is ongoing throughout all four seasons. Many insects and rodents are dormant or fly south in winter, but not all. Several remain in your home.
Do I need to clean before pest control?
The cleaner your home is, the better the outcome. Preparing for a pest control treatment ensures that we can successfully eliminate pest problems by treating every area affected by the infestation. A messy home makes it easier for bugs to hide, which can impact your results.
While it is our mission to eliminate pests from your home, there are a few maintenance tasks you can do before your appointment, such as:
1. Clear out empty dishes in the sink and eliminate any standing water.
2. Take care of specific preventative cleaning and maintenance issues.
3. Remove paper goods and other lures.
4. Take family and pets with you when pest control arrives, leaving the premises if necessary.
A professional pest control treatment can take up to six weeks to eradicate your pest problem. Still, there is an upside to a slow-acting treatment; it enables pests to carry poisoned bait back to their nests, spread it around, and wipe out the entire colony.
Do more bugs come out after pest control?
If you are seeing more bugs after a pest control treatment, it may seem like a red flag, but it is completely normal. The treatment requires time to take effect, so it is common to see a few bugs appear who are coming out of hiding, within 10 days or less from the date of your treatment. Most of the time, simply giving the treatment time to take effect will remedy the situation. But, besides timing, there are plenty of other reasons you see so many pests after a treatment.
For example:
- Pests may still be in the process of coming out of hiding and carrying the pesticide to their hideout areas.
- Even though disrupting the lifecycle is essential to get pests under control, the cycle still needs timely interruption.
- The humidity in Huntsville, AL, can be a natural pest magnet.
- An unkempt home is a pest's ideal place to find food and water.
If you are still seeing bug activity more than two weeks after your treatment, it is recommended to reach out to your pest control company and let them know. They can take additional measures if needed to eliminate your bug problem.
