Town and Country Can Help
Customer Preparation
- Most Centipede treatments can be completed in the basement alone which would need to be avoided for 1 hour. If another level of the home does need to be treated, people and pets will need to remain out of the house for 1 hour
Our Guarantee
- All treatments come with the Town and Country Guarantee!
