    Interesting Facts

    Cause for Concern

    Town & Country Can Help

    Customer Preparation

    • Most Maggot treatments can be completed in the affected area alone which would need to be avoided for 1 hour. If the entire home does need to be treated, 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!
