Termite Pest Control and Safety

Pet-friendly pest & termite control for your home

Orkin's exclusive Points of Service™ approach strives to provide pest and termite control in the safest way possible. Your home, family, and pets are always considered when applying pesticides to surface areas in and around your home.

Is there pet-safe pest & termite control?

Pesticides for termites are applied at low concentrations, making treatments effective at killing them with no threat to people or pets. Pets should be kept from the treated area until the surface area dries to ensure they don’t ingest the chemicals.

Is termite control safe for humans?

Termite treatment is applied with safety in mind, tailored to your household’s needs. Worried whether it’s safe to have pest control while pregnant or if pest control is child-safe? You may want to leave the house after treatment for added peace of mind.

Environmentally safe termite control

Home termite treatments include Integrated Pest Management programs, combining solutions grounded in science, treatment is designed to achieve acceptable levels of control with the least possible impact on humans, non-target organisms, and the environment.
