Identify the concern before choosing the work
Termite activity, stinging insects and yard pests need different assessments. Tell Swift whether the issue is in the building, close to an entrance or across an outdoor area.
- Mud tubes, discarded wings or visible wood damage
- Repeated insect traffic around a nest opening
- Mosquito or tick concerns in a particular outdoor area
Termites and signs around wood
Winged ants and termite swarmers can look similar. Note visible wood changes, mud tubes or discarded wings without opening walls or disturbing structural material. Mention known moisture issues.
Wasps, hornets and bees
Describe the nest position and insect traffic from a distance. Do not disturb the nest or block an active opening. Work at height and honey-bee relocation need specific confirmation.
Yards and outdoor spaces
Describe the outdoor area, how it is used and the pest you have noticed. Ask which pests and areas any proposal covers; a termite enquiry does not imply a general yard treatment.
Are outdoor pests covered by one service?
The scope depends on the pest and location. Confirm the named pests, property areas, preparation and any follow-up before booking.
