frequently asked question
We treat a wide variety of pests, including ants, roaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, bedbugs, rodents, wasps, and more.
We use EPA-registered products applied according to their labels—the legal standard for safety and effectiveness. We follow all guidelines, and recommend keeping pets and kids away from treated areas until dry, per label instructions. While we target pests safely, no treatment is risk-free due to factors like sensitivities. We’ll provide specific guidance after each service.
We ensure our exterior pest defense treatments are safe and effective by strictly following product label guidelines and monitoring local weather. For wind speeds above 10-15 mph, we may postpone exterior service to prevent product drift. Heavy rain or recent downpours can require rescheduling, as wet surfaces reduce treatment efficacy, but when applied to dry surfaces, our products create a moisture-resistant barrier.
Severe weather, like thunderstorms, also prompts delays for safety. We keep customers updated on our status regarding weather conditions and promptly reschedule, typically within days, to maintain your pest control plan. Contact us with any weather-related concerns—we’re here to help.
Most treatments begin working immediately, with visible improvement within 24–48 hours. Some infestations may require follow-up treatments for complete elimination.
For most services, no evacuation is required. However, for certain treatments (like bedbug or flea treatments), we may recommend a brief period away for safety.
We recommend quarterly pest control for year-round protection. However, monthly or bi-monthly plans may be needed for high-risk areas or severe infestations.
We stand behind our services! If pests persist after treatment, we’ll return to re-treat at no additional cost within a specified period.
The ideal pest defense maintenance interval for your property depends on several factors, as every home and situation is unique. Key considerations include:
Home Conditions: The age, structure, and materials of your home can influence pest activity. Older homes or those with wooden structures may attract pests like termites, while cracks or gaps in foundations can invite ants, rodents, or other intruders. Regular inspections can help determine how often treatments are needed based on your home’s vulnerabilities.
Environmental Conditions: Your local climate and surrounding environment play a significant role. Properties in humid, warm areas may face more frequent issues with pests like mosquitoes or cockroaches, while those near wooded areas might deal with ticks or wildlife. Seasonal changes also affect pest behavior, so intervals may need adjustment throughout the year.
Personal Pest Tolerance: Everyone has a different comfort level when it comes to pests. If even a single ant sighting feels unacceptable, you might prefer more frequent maintenance, such as monthly or bimonthly treatments. If you’re more tolerant and only concerned about major infestations, quarterly or biannual services might suffice.
Pest Type and Activity: Certain pests, like carpenter ants and bed bugs, require more proactive and frequent monitoring due to their destructive nature. Others, like occasional spiders, may not need as much attention. Tire Swing Pest Solutions can assess recent pest activity on your property to recommend an appropriate schedule.
Preventive vs. Reactive Needs: If you’re focused on prevention, regular maintenance (e.g., quarterly or seasonal) can keep pests at bay before they become a problem. If you’re addressing an active infestation, more frequent visits may be necessary until the issue is resolved.
We recommend starting with a professional inspection to evaluate your property’s specific needs. From there, a tailored plan—whether monthly, quarterly, or seasonal—can be designed to balance effectiveness and convenience.

We get this question a lot. While we’re great at identifying pests, we’re not medical professionals—so we can’t diagnose bites or skin reactions. Many insects leave similar-looking marks, and even experts can’t always tell just by the bite alone.
What we can do is inspect your home, identify what’s active, monitor the situation, and build a plan to get it under control. For any health concerns, it’s always best to check with a doctor.
