Will your products hurt my plants & foliage?
Our products do not harm plants, shrubs, or foliage around your structure. However, we do require that homeowners take necessary steps to cover any edible plants, such as vegetables or herbs, prior to application.
Will your products stain or damage the siding of our structure?
No. Our products are water based and do not cause damage or staining.
Are there any steps I should take before getting my home sprayed?
Yes. Any painting or power washing should be done prior to having Hogarth’s spray. During application, we require that all doors and windows be closed, and people and pets remain inside until the product has dried. If you plan on washing your windows, we strongly recommend that you do so after Hogarth’s has finished their application, as it can leave some residue on the windows.
Do you send out reminders to customers that it’s time to spray?
Yes! Hogarth’s makes it a top priority to notify all customers via email that it’s time to schedule their spring treatment. Reminder emails are typically sent out in early spring, but we encourage customers to notify Hogarth’s if they’re interested in being put on an automatic, yearly treatment program. This way, we’ll automatically schedule you every year in the spring so you don’t have to worry about contacting us.
Will I be notified before you come to spray?
Yes! As with yearly reminders, we make it a top priority to notify customers before your scheduled appointment. Appointment times are confirmed the day prior. If you’d like to request a specific day or time, please notify Hogarth’s of your request when scheduling. We typically service specific areas on certain days, and do our very best to accommodate any and all customer requests.
