Editorial policy
Our editorial policy explains who writes the original articles, which later edits use AI assistance and whether a human re-review has been completed.
Antoine Ouellette, founder and owner of The Pest Control Guy, writes the original articles on this site. He does not use AI to draft those original articles.
AI assistance was used for this SEO update, including copy, formatting, source links and technical changes. Antoine’s authorship credit does not imply that he has reviewed every later edit. Items requiring his field experience, original data or approval are kept in an editorial review queue.
What do the dates mean?
The published date records when an article first appeared. The updated date records a real change to the article; it does not imply a new field test or a review by a different expert.
Which instructions should you follow?
Treatment preparation, re-entry and cleaning depend on the product and method used. Follow the product label and the instructions supplied for your appointment rather than a general timing example in an article.
