Town and Country Can Help
Customer Preparation
- For interior treatments, all people and pets need to be out of the home for 1 hour. The treatment can take up to 3 weeks to take care of infestation
- Sanitation Tips: The large battle when dealing with any type of fly is removing their habitat. Residual treatments will not prevent reproduction but removing preferred conditions will. They are often found around trash cans, dumpsters, rotting corpses, and general filth. Until these issues are dealt with, the fly infestation can not be controlled.
Our Guarantee
- All treatments come with the Town and Country Guarantee!
