Yes, we train our Field Experts to provide kid– and pet-friendly treatments and to prioritize your family’s well-being at all times. We will explain what to expect and provide guidance on re-entry times and precautions. We advise that you keep children and pets away from treated areas until those locations are fully dry. The drying time is typically 1 – 3 hours for indoor locations (depending on the ventilation), and around 30 minutes for outdoor locations (depending on the weather). If you keep aquariums, terrariums, or bird cages in your home, we may recommend additional precautions. 

Hartford’s dense urban layout, older buildings, and seasonal climate make it a hotspot for several types of pests. Rodents like mice and rats are especially common due to the abundance of food sources and shelter in basements, attics, and alleyways. Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid interiors and can spread quickly from house to house. Ants, particularly pavement and odorous house ants, invade homes in search of food and water.

In warmer months, mosquitoes and stinging insects like wasps also become a serious nuisance around yards and outdoor spaces. Our general pest service is built to target many of these common pests and help stop future infestations.

The problem with store-bought products is that they typically only kill the pests you can see, while the rest of them continue to live and breed behind the scenes.

Without a professional inspection of the pests’ entry and nesting sites, it’s easy to miss where the bulk of the pests are living, the conditions that attracted them, and how they got into your house in the first place.

Our Field Experts use professional-grade products and receive daily training on pest behavior, allowing them to find hiding spots in your walls, voids, and foundations, and provide you with more reliable and long-lasting pest protection.

Yes, our mosquito control services are very popular among Hartford homeowners fed up with the bites and buzzing in their yards. We provide monthly fogging treatments and the installation of In2Care Stations, discreet devices that disrupt mosquito breeding cycles and prevent larvae from maturing into adults. We service these stations every 21 to 30 days to reduce mosquito populations and help keep your yard comfortable all season long. 

Cockroaches are a persistent issue in Hartford, especially in older buildings and multi-unit housing where they can spread quickly through shared walls and plumbing. We address the problem by first identifying the species and locating nesting areas. Then, we apply targeted treatments to eliminate active infestations and disrupt breeding. We also help address the conditions that brought them into your home in the first place, like moisture and food access. Ongoing service helps prevent roaches from coming back.

Central Connecticut’s mix of humidity, rainfall, and moderate temperatures creates favorable conditions for many pests. Moist environments support cockroaches, ants, and termites because they rely on moisture to survive, breed, and build colonies. Combined with easy access to food and shelter, these conditions allow pests to thrive both indoors and out. That’s why professional pest control is so important here. With our deep insights into pest behavior and knowledge of local conditions, we know how to handle pests that take advantage of Connecticut’s damp, pest-friendly environment.

In spring, ants and termites become active in Hartford as warming soil and increased moisture trigger foraging and swarming. Summer brings peak mosquito and wasp activity due to the heat and standing water in which these pests thrive. In fall, rodents and spiders begin heading indoors to escape dropping temperatures.

Even in winter, pests like cockroaches and silverfish may remain active in warm, heated homes. Because pest activity shifts throughout the year, seasonal knowledge and proactive service from a professional are essential for keeping infestations under control.

Don’t worry about seeing more pests after your first treatment. This is actually a good sign, as it shows your pests have been driven out of their hiding spaces. In the coming days, expect to see a sharp decline in pest activity. If pest problems should crop up again between our regular visits, Moxie has you covered. Customers on our year-round plan receive warranty reservice treatments at no extra charge.
