FAQs
How long has Sherlock Homes been in business?
Sherlock Homes Pest Control & Irrigation was established in 1995. Its staff has served Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties in one form or another since 1988.
What pest control approach do you use?
The company practices integrated pest control, which combines minimal spray treatments with non-chemical services and cultural practices that reduce pest activity in and around the home. A perimeter spray is the cornerstone of the household pest service.
What happens if I see a bug inside between services?
Household pest control customers are covered. Call as soon as you are able and a technician will be out within 24 to 48 hours to treat the affected areas.
How is your mosquito service different?
Sherlock Homes is a provider of In2Care Mosquito Traps. The trap contaminates mosquitoes with a slow-killing bioactive larvicide that they spread to other breeding sites. Because it is a non-chemical product, it can be used without endangering bees, butterflies and other flying insects.
How often should I have lawn service?
Monthly service is recommended for best results on lawns that have not had previous service or that have existing problems. Bi-monthly service is also offered, and staff will go over the options based on the needs of your lawn.
Can you treat Bahia grass?
Yes. Sherlock Homes has products to improve any lawn, including Bahia, even if other companies have said they cannot service it.
What parts do you use for irrigation repairs?
Sherlock Homes combines its service with Rain Bird parts and is a Rain Bird Specialty Contractor.
Why should I have a quarterly irrigation service?
Watering needs change season to season and the timer needs to be adjusted accordingly. An irrigation system has many parts and many points where issues can come up, so the quarterly service provides a full system tune up each season plus additional discounts on any repairs.
