Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers about pest control, our services, and what to expect when you work with GreenCore Environmental.
We understand that choosing a pest control company comes with questions — about what chemicals are used, whether they are appropriate around children and pets, how much service costs, and what happens if the treatment doesn't work. We've compiled the most common questions we receive from Central Florida homeowners and business owners below.
If you don't see an answer to your question, call us at (866) 816-BUGS or submit a message. Our team is available Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm Eastern time.
More About Our Approach
About Our Products
All products used by GreenCore Environmental are EPA-registered and applied in strict accordance with their label directions. Federal pesticide law requires applicators to follow the label — the label is the law. We do not use products in ways inconsistent with their registration, and we do not apply products where they are not needed.
We select products based on their efficacy against the target pest species and their potential impact on non-target species, people, and pets. Where effective alternatives with lower human exposure potential exist, we use them.
The GreenCore Guarantee
If you see pest activity between your scheduled service visits, call us. We will return and re-treat at absolutely no additional charge. This guarantee is not a marketing statement — it is built into every plan we offer. We stand behind our work because we are confident in our methods, and we believe that paying for pest control should mean your pest problem is actually solved.
About Florida Pest Seasons
Florida's subtropical climate creates year-round pest pressure. Termite swarming season in Central Florida typically runs from late January through May, peaking in March and April. Roof rat activity increases in the fall as rodents seek warmer nesting sites. Mosquitoes are active year-round but peak during the wet season from June through September.
Because Florida doesn't experience extended hard freezes that reduce pest populations, recurring pest control service is not seasonal maintenance — it is year-round necessity for most homeowners. Quarterly service visits align with the reproductive cycles of the pest species most common in our service area.
About Our Licensing
Pest control companies and individual applicators in Florida are licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). Certification requires passing state examinations that cover pest biology, pesticide chemistry, safety, application equipment, and integrated pest management.
GreenCore Environmental holds a current Florida pest control business license, and all of our technicians hold individual applicator certifications appropriate for the work they perform. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage.
