Town & Country Can Help

Customer Preparation

Most Box Elder Beetle treatments are completely exterior. If an interior treatment does need to be applied, a light spray around windows and doors may leave a very light film which should be left on for as long as possible to prevent entry. People and pets will need to remain out of the house for 1 hour

Our Guarantee

All treatments come with the Town and Country Guarantee!
