Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common pest control questions from Sonshine Pest Solutions in Nassau County, FL.
Have questions about pest control? We believe in transparency and clear communication. Here are answers to the most common questions we receive from Nassau County homeowners and businesses. If you do not see your question here, call us at (904) 200-0004 and we will be happy to help.
How much does pest control cost?
+
Pricing depends on several factors including the size of your home, the type of pest(s) being treated, the severity of the infestation, and the service frequency you choose. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all pricing because every pest situation is different.
The best way to get accurate pricing is to call us for a free estimate. We will discuss your specific situation, inspect if necessary, and provide a clear quote before any work begins. Call us at (904) 200-0004 or contact us online.
Is your treatment safe for kids and pets?
+
Yes. We use EPA-registered products that are proven safe when applied according to label directions. Before any interior treatment, we provide you with clear preparation instructions and re-entry timeframes. Following these guidelines ensures your family and pets are protected.
For interior treatments, you will typically need to be out of treated areas for 1-2 hours while products dry. We will give you specific instructions based on the products used for your treatment. If you have specific concerns about a family member or pet with sensitivities, let us know and we can discuss your options.
How long does a treatment take?
+
A standard residential pest control treatment typically takes 1-2 hours from arrival to completion. This includes the inspection, treatment application, and any follow-up discussion. The actual time varies based on the size of your home and the extent of treatment needed. Larger homes or more complex infestations may take longer. We will give you a time estimate when you schedule your appointment.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
+
It depends on the type of treatment. For interior treatments, we ask that you, your family, and pets vacate treated areas for 1-2 hours while products dry. This is a standard precaution to allow products to set properly before re-entry.
For exterior-only treatments, you can typically remain in your home during the service. We will let you know exactly what is required when we discuss your treatment plan. We try to make the process as convenient as possible for you.
How often should I get pest control in Florida?
+
We recommend quarterly (every 3 months) pest control treatments for most Nassau County homes. Florida’s warm, humid climate means pests are active year-round, not just in summer. Quarterly treatments maintain a continuous barrier of protection that prevents pests from establishing a foothold in your home.
Some homeowners opt for bi-monthly (every 2 months) service for enhanced protection, particularly if they have had recurring problems. One-time treatments are also available for specific situations. We will discuss what makes sense for your home during your free estimate.
What pests do you treat?
+
We treat a wide variety of pests common to Nassau County including ants (all species), cockroaches (German, American, and others), spiders, silverfish, earwigs, fleas, wasps, termites, mice, rats, and mosquitoes.
If you have a pest not listed here, call us anyway. We handle most pest situations and can refer you to a specialist for anything outside our scope. Our goal is to get your pest problem solved, whether we do the work ourselves or point you in the right direction.
Do you offer a guarantee on your work?
+
Yes. We back our work with a real satisfaction guarantee. One-time treatments include a 30-day warranty: if covered pests return within 30 days of treatment, we return and retreat at no additional charge.
Quarterly maintenance plan customers receive ongoing coverage. If pests appear between your scheduled quarterly visits, call us and we will come back to address the problem at no extra cost. We are committed to your satisfaction, not just the initial service call.
What are signs I need termite treatment?
+
Warning signs of termite activity include: mud tubes (pencil-width tunnels along your foundation or walls), hollow-sounding wood when tapped, piles of small translucent wings near windows or doors (especially in spring when termites swarm), tiny pellets resembling sawdust near wood surfaces (termite frass), and paint that is bubbling or peeling without apparent moisture exposure.
Spring is termite swarm season in Florida, so seeing flying insects near your home in spring is a significant warning sign. If you notice any of these signs, call us promptly. Early termite detection and treatment is much less expensive than treating advanced structural damage. We offer termite inspections and can assess your situation quickly.
