Recommended Interval vs Base Treatment Interval
Formula
## Pest Control Treatment Scheduling The right treatment frequency depends on the pest type, treatment method, and severity of the problem. ### Formula **Adjusted Interval = Base Interval / Severity Level** **Annual Treatments = 365 / Adjusted Interval** Preventive treatments (quarterly) work well for mild situations. Active infestations may need monthly or bi-weekly treatment until controlled, then transition to maintenance.
Esempio Risolto
Quarterly (90-day) base treatment, mild severity, $80 per visit.
- 01Adjusted interval = 90 / 1 = 90 days
- 02Annual treatments = ceil(365 / 90) = 5 treatments
- 03Annual cost = 5 x $80 = $400

How often should I get pest control?
Preventive: quarterly (every 90 days). Active problem: monthly until controlled. Termites: annual inspection with treatment as needed. Mosquitoes: monthly during active season.
Are regular treatments necessary?
In most climates, quarterly preventive treatment is cost-effective. It prevents infestations before they start, which is much cheaper than treating an active problem.
DIY vs professional pest control?
Professional treatment is more effective for serious infestations and offers guarantees. DIY works for prevention and minor issues but may miss hidden problem areas.
