How often will I need treatments?

Romex recommends an every-other-month to quarterly cadence for most properties—roughly every 60 to 90 days. That range is tight enough that the residual insecticide barrier stays strong between visits. Stretching past 90 days lets the active ingredients weaken to the point they become ineffective. Higher-pressure properties and active infestations do best on every-other-month or monthly service during peak season.

How long should kids and pets wait after treatment?

Children and pets should wait 30 to 60 minutes before going back to treated areas. Or wait until the product is completely dry. We use tested and approved products. Our licensed technicians follow all label directions.

How long does it take to see results?

Most customers see big improvement within the first week. Complete removal depends on how bad the problem is. Our follow-up visits make sure the problem is fully solved.

Do you offer a warranty on your services?

Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee. If earwigs come back between scheduled treatments, we will treat again at no extra cost.

What should I do to prepare for treatment?

We'll provide specific preparation instructions based on your treatment. Generally, this includes clearing access to areas being treated and following any pet or family member guidelines we provide.
