What if I still see bugs between pest control visits?

    Short answer

    Call us. On Hydra's recurring general pest plans, if pests keep showing up between your scheduled visits, we come back and re-treat at no extra charge. We call these free re-services. We use premium products chosen to hold up in Arizona's sun, heat and monsoon rain, so visits can be spaced out, but Mother Nature is unpredictable, and re-services cover the gaps.

    Arizona context

    Seeing a bug or two after a treatment is normal while products work, but persistent activity between visits is what re-services are for. Even homes on very frequent service plans can see live activity between visits; more visits doesn't automatically mean fewer bugs. Arizona weather swings — monsoon storms, heat waves, a warm spell in winter — can push pests to move and spike without warning. Customers tell us this guarantee is one of the things they love most about Hydra.

    What you can do

    • Note where and when you're seeing activity; photos help.
    • Call your branch office and tell us what you're seeing.
    • Don't spray store-bought products over the treated barrier.
    • We schedule the free re-service and treat the problem areas.

    How often do I need pest control?

    It depends on the pest, your property and the season, and we recommend a schedule as part of your free custom quote. For ongoing protection, a recurring plan works far better than a one-time spray, because Arizona pest seasons run long and the barrier has to stay active between visits. Hydra chooses premium products designed to last outdoors in Arizona's sun, heat and rain, which lets us space visits out instead of coming back constantly. If something pops up in between, a free re-service takes care of it.

    How Hydra handles it

    Our services are guaranteed to take care of our customers. We choose premium, longer-lasting products to maintain protection between normal paid visits. On recurring general maintenance plans, free re-services cover persistent activity between scheduled visits, so you can call us when something keeps showing up.

    Frequently asked

    Are re-services really free?

    Yes. On our recurring general pest plans, return visits between your regular scheduled service for persistent activity are included at no extra charge.

    How often do I need pest control?

    It depends on the pest, your property and the season. We recommend a schedule in your free custom quote, use premium products chosen to last in Arizona's weather, and cover persistent activity between visits with free re-services on recurring general pest plans.

    Is once or twice a year enough?

    It depends on your home, the pests you're dealing with and where you live. We'll recommend the schedule that fits your property in your free custom quote and explain why. Whatever the schedule, re-services cover activity between visits on recurring general pest plans.

    Why am I seeing bugs right after a treatment?

    Treatment often flushes pests out of hiding, so you may see some activity for a short time as products work. If it keeps up, call us and we'll come back.
