Terminix uses a variety of EPA-registered professional products that vary by pest, region, and treatment plan, so there is not a single spray used for all jobs. For general household pest control, technicians may use residual insecticides from classes such as pyrethroids, which are synthetic versions of natural pyrethrins, as well as insect growth regulators that prevent pests from maturing, and baits that pests carry back to colonies. For termite control, Terminix may use liquid termiticides applied to soil or bait systems containing slow-acting active ingredients that termites share. For mosquito control, products may include adulticides and larvicides applied to foliage and standing water areas. The specific product names and active ingredients should be listed on service reports and can be explained by your technician. Professional products are applied according to label directions that specify where and how much can be used, with emphasis on crack and crevice and perimeter applications rather than broadcast spraying. If you have concerns about chemicals, pets, children, or sensitivities, you can ask the technician for safety data sheets, active ingredients, re-entry times, and whether low-toxicity or non-chemical options like exclusion and trapping can be emphasized.
