Introduction
Pest control is not a one-time job. Pests are persistent, and so your protection should be too. But how often do you really need general pest control services? Here’s a quick guide for homeowners and businesses in 2025.
1. Standard Frequency: Every 3–4 Months
Most general pest control services recommend a quarterly schedule. This helps break the pest breeding cycle and maintain a pest-free environment.
2. High-Risk Areas: Monthly Treatments
If you live near garbage dumps, water bodies, or have an old structure, you may need monthly visits for:
- Mosquito control
- Rodents
- Cockroach infestations
3. Seasonal Treatment
- Summer: Ants and cockroaches increase
- Monsoon: Mosquitoes and termites thrive
- Winter: Rodents look for warmth indoors
Seasonal pest control helps target pests when they’re most active.
4. Commercial Needs
Offices, restaurants, and warehouses should opt for monthly or bi-monthly services to meet hygiene standards and avoid fines.
5. Post-Construction or Renovation
Always schedule a pest control visit after major work—termites, ants, and spiders often invade disturbed areas.
6. AMC Plans Offer Best Value
Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMCs) from companies like Lex Hygiene ensure you stay protected with regular visits, emergency support, and warranties.
Conclusion
To keep your home or business truly pest-free, regular general pest control services are a must. Frequency depends on the season, pest type, and property condition. When in doubt, consult an expert and create a tailored plan that suits your space.
