FAQs

What are the prices for your services?

Struckum’s goal is to give each customer a customized plan. Each service plan takes into consideration your building, pest problem, and surrounding environment. Contact your local Struckum Pest Control Branch office to discuss pricing for your home.

How long is the fumigation process?

The fumigation process is a three day process for drywood termites.

How long does it take to put the tarps on?

It takes approximately two hours to put the tarps on depending on the size of the structure.

How long does it take to remove the tarps?

It takes approximately two hours to take the tarps down depending on the size of the structure.

What items do I need to remove from the property?

Any foods, medications, anything living: people, animal/pets, and plants.

Is there a need to clean inside the building and wash items following a fumigation?

The gas Struckum uses leaves absolutely no residue, so cleaning the building and washing items is not necessary.

Will there be any live termites in my building after whole-structure fumigation?

If you see a few live termites immediately after your building has been fumigated, don’t be alarmed. Sometimes it can take three to five days for all of the termites to die. Rest assured whole-structure fumigation with gas fumigant will eliminate all of the drywood termites in the building.

What pests are covered with quarterly pest control?

Struckum Pest Control’s quarterly pest control covers most insects except fleas, ticks, mosquitos, bedbugs, flies, and bees. These pests present special problems and require a special procedure. Depending on the degree of the infestation and the situation, we have other programs that we can put in place to eliminate these pests. Our quarterly pest prevention program does include sweeping of eaves, awnings and other areas where wasps, bees, and other flying stinging insects may place nests, to keep them away from the building.

What if I still spot a problem inside the building after you’ve serviced the inside and outside?

If you ever spot a problem inside, we’ll come back at no additional charge, and at your convenience, to diagnose and eliminate the problem. We’ll also come back as many times as needed to eliminate the problem.

How will your products affect my animals/pets in the building?

We love pets too. All of the products that in our programs are not harmful to animals/pets as long as you follow our recommendations. Keep in mind that some treatments require time to dry before animals/pets can be allowed back into the treated area. Your Struckum Pest Control team will give you specific information on the product application we used and how to keep animals/pets safe.

Are your products environmentally responsible?

All of the products we use have been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Why do I need to have my building inspected before you can give me a price?

No two buildings are exactly alike and neither are their treatments. That’s why we thoroughly inspect the building – inside and outside. We then design a program customized for your situation without any pricing surprises.
