| Q: Why does Alchemy need to treat on the inside of the home? |
A: Alchemy prefers to have access to the inside of the home for the first visit. This enables us to inspect key areas such as under sinks, in attics, along windows, and in garages. |
Q: Do I need to be home for the treatment? |
A: We prefer homeowners to be home for the first treatment so we can inspect key areas inside the home. After the first treatment you do not need to be home. Our preventive barrier is designed to keep pests out of your home without using chemicals inside your home. |
Q: Is the treatment safe for my kids and pets? |
A: Our treatments are pet and child friendly. They are labled by the Environmental Protection Agency for use in dog kennels, day cares, and hospitals. We do ask that people and pets wait to touch treated areas until dry. |
| Q: What if my back yard is gated and I have a dog? |
