Q & A
You asked it, we answered.
This is a list of the most asked questions we receive.
Why does profishant only offer 100% all-natural mosquito and tick treatments?
Here on the South Coast, we’re surrounded by water, wetlands, and ocean life. Using synthetic pesticides can create drift that affects neighbors, pets, and the environment. Our all-natural products control mosquitoes and ticks effectively without those risks.
They may need to be applied more often and cost a bit more, but they’re safer for you, your family, our technicians, and our oceans. It’s also worth remembering that professional treatment is just one tool for protection. Combining it with good property maintenance and personal precautions gives the best long-term results.
Do you have a rodent control program that does not use rodenticides?
Yes, we offer a rodent control program that uses CO₂ (carbon dioxide) instead of traditional rodenticides.
Our CO₂-based program is a modern, effective, and environmentally conscious solution for managing rodent populations without the use of poisons. This system uses a controlled release of carbon dioxide gas to humanely and quickly eliminate rodents in burrows and other contained spaces.
This method has several benefits:
- Non-toxic and residue-free – Safe for use around children, pets, and sensitive environments
- No risk of secondary poisoning – Predators and scavengers are not exposed to rodenticides
- Fast and humane – CO₂ causes a painless and rapid loss of consciousness
- Ideal for sensitive properties – Great for schools, parks, organic farms, and homes concerned with traditional chemical use
Our team is trained in the use of CO₂ systems and will assess your property to determine the best, most responsible course of action for your rodent issue.
Have questions or want to know if this solution is right for your property? Contact us and we’ll be happy to help.

How do I schedule a pest inspection or service?
You can easily schedule a pest inspection or service by contacting our customer service team at 888-776-0444 or email at [email protected].
Are your pest control methods safe for my family and pets?
If any pest control company says “Yes” to this question, I would not work with them. I will refer you to the National Pesticide Information Center "safe" is a bad word in our industry. Is glass cleaner safe? To drink, no. To clean the windows per label, maybe. The truth is that with education and communication, we can provide a service for your home or business in the most responsible manner possible. But by denying that there could be risks, without care and education, we would be doing you a huge disservice. Even with our mosquito services, which are 100% all-natural, I would not use the word “safe”.
What areas do you provide pest control services in?
profishant offers pest control services in MA, RI and NH. Did you know we also offer OSHA consulting nationally and Food Safety Consulting internationally?
Do you offer one-time pest control services, or do I need a contract?
We provide both one-time services and customizable service plans to meet your specific needs. No long-term agreements are required. Notice that we use the word agreement. We do not have contracts we lock folks in. If you are not happy with our services, you may cancel the agreement at any time. The only exception is if you the customer have agreed to amortize the cost of start up across a period. Please keep in mind that a one-time service could mean one time or, it could mean a few months of services to rid a population from your home. But we do not require a long-term agreement for that.
How quickly can you respond to a pest issue at my property?
Our policy is to respond to emergency calls within 48 business hours however, we typically respond within a few hours. Emergency services are available for urgent situations.
What precautions should I take before and after pest control treatment?

How do I know if I have a pest infestation?
Signs of pest infestation include droppings, unusual noises, damaged property, and sightings of pests. Our team can conduct inspections to confirm and address the issue.
Do you offer eco-friendly or organic pest control options?
Yes, profishant pest services provides eco-friendly and organic pest control options for customers who prefer environmentally conscious solutions.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Absolutely. All our technicians are licensed, certified, and fully insured to ensure the highest quality of service. They are also encouraged to have the highest license they can get. Most companies require technicians to only carry an apprentice license in fear they will have to pay them more or that they will leave. At profishant, we actively mentor our technicians to get the highest education and licenses available. An educated staff is the real key to a “safe” service.
Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.
