It is always possible to find companies that charge less however, here at Fast Action we strive to offer the best value for the cost. We use only the highest quality products and always strive to do the job right the first time. In the event mother nature does not cooperate, we take pride in in quickly responding to any additional needs that may arrive. Our service technicians are paid very competitive wages above the minimum wage that is offered by many other pest control companies, which can save you money and time in the long run by avoiding mistakes, shortcuts, and problems created by an under qualified and poorly motivated pest control employee. We feel it is very important to have a reliable, competent, and consistent service technician that you can trust in your home.
How can I get a discount?
New customers can receive a $100 discount on the initial service just by mentioning that you saw it here on the website.
Customers who pay for a year in advance will receive a 5% discount on the year.
Our referral program will get you a $25 credit if you refer someone who signs up for a service agreement.
I do it myself, why get a service?
Consistency: Like many things in life, a consistent pest control program can keep your home pest free and provides the most desirable results.
Cost: What is your time worth to you? Inferior products that are publicly available can still cost more than regular service when you consider the treatments for the many pest we get year round.
Safety: Why does the government continue to ban the manufacture of certain pest control chemicals? Why is the pest control industry as regulated as it is? Our procedures enable us to use less materials with far superior results than “home based” pest control. Most pesticide problems happen when individuals mix far too much pesticide thinking it will provide a better result or when children and pets have access to improperly stored pest control products.
Is regular service necessary?
Today, products for treating pests are designed to break down very quickly in order to avoid contamination.
As pests continue to creep into your home and yard, we will be there to make sure they stay out. Our regular service is custom to your needs and will change during the year to eradicate pests, no matter their season. Bugs are just a reality in the climate in which we live. However, we at Fast Action Pest Control are confident that our program is the most effective way to maintain the pest population and give you a pest free environment.
Are the products you use safe?
We incorporate the practice of Integrated Pest Management into our treatment plans. This means that pesticides are not always the first option in controlling unwanted pests. We work with the homeowner to design a safe plan of attack. This involves customer education as to the breeding, eating, and nesting habits of common household pests, and what the customer can do to prevent infestation.
With our expertise and your cooperation, pests will find our solutions hard
to defeat. For information on specific products we use and their MSDS sheets, please click here for more information.

What can I do to control my household fly problem?
Fruit flies usually reproduce in decaying and overripe fruits and vegetables. They can be controlled by keeping trash sealed and removed daily, keeping fruit in sealed containers, and by using an anti-bacterial and/or sterilizing agent in the kitchen drain and garbage disposal. Trash compactors should also be checked for possible breeding potential.
If these tips still do not get your fly problem under control, please contact our office for additional information.
