Yes, continue your maintenance plan even when you don't see pests. Lapses in protection can invite pests back, and once they return, an infestation takes hold faster and costs more to remedy.

Prevention is easier and cheaper than dealing with re-infestation. Priority Pest Services recommends ongoing maintenance to keep pests out permanently. You can arrange a custom service plan that fits your needs-no long-term contract required. Call (757) 204-4523 to discuss what works best for your home.
