FAQs
How often should I schedule pest control?
It depends on your property, the type of pest activity, and whether you want treatment or prevention. Some customers only need a one-time application for a specific issue, while others use monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or annual maintenance service. For active infestations, more frequent service may be recommended at first, then a maintenance plan for continued prevention. Commercial properties often benefit from regular service because they have more entry points, higher traffic, frequent deliveries, and strict cleanliness standards.
What should I expect during a pest control visit?
A technician begins by reviewing your pest concerns and inspecting the affected areas, inside and outside the property depending on the service requested. The goal is to identify signs of pest activity, entry points, nesting areas, moisture sources, food sources, and structural conditions that may be contributing. Mug-A-Bug focuses on clear communication, so the team explains what is being done, why it matters, and what you can do to reduce future problems.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes. One-time applications include a 30-day warranty, and if pest activity returns within that period the team will come back at no additional cost. Termite treatments carry a one-year warranty. Maintenance programs include year-round coverage plus treatment-to-treatment coverage between scheduled visits. Warranty is not applicable to ant control, cockroach pest control, carpenter ant control, bed bug inspection, or mouse extermination.
Do you perform VA loan termite inspections?
Yes. Mug-A-Bug is credentialed and certified in the state of Colorado to perform VA loan termite inspections, and the team works with you, your real estate agent, and your lender so the property complies with applicable laws and regulations. As of June 25, 2025, the VA requires Wood-Destroying Insect inspections for all purchase loans in El Paso County and most of Colorado, documented on a Form NPMA-33 before closing.
What maintenance plans do you offer?
Mug-A-Bug offers a Monthly Package starting at $55, a Bi-Monthly Package starting at $90, a Quarterly Package starting at $120, a One-Time Application starting at $175, and an annual maintenance package starting at $175, plus a Rodent Package and The Works Package, both quoted by phone. The Bi-Monthly Package is the most popular and most frequently recommended option for residential customers, since the products used typically provide a residual effect lasting 45 to 60 days. Call (719) 230-0852 to confirm pricing for your property.
Which pests do the maintenance packages cover?
The pest control maintenance packages treat and help prevent ants, spiders, crickets, earwigs, mice, rats, wasps, and cockroaches. The Works Package adds coverage for occasional invaders, carpet and cabinet beetles, indoor fleas and ticks, stinging insects such as bees, hornets, yellow jackets, wasps, and mud daubers, stored product pests, and rodents, while excluding wood-destroying insects, bed bugs, clover mites, flies, and gnats.
Why are termites and other wood-destroying organisms such a concern?
Termites, carpenter ants, and other wood-destroying organisms damage structural materials over time and work out of sight behind walls, under flooring, in crawl spaces, and near foundations. By the time obvious damage appears, the problem may already be advanced. Mug-A-Bug provides inspections, targeted treatments, and ongoing monitoring, and backs termite treatments with a one-year warranty.
What payment methods do you accept?
Mug-A-Bug accepts cash, check, money order, debit cards, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. There is also a Pay Now option on the website, where you need to enter the amount owed in the order information to proceed to checkout.
