4 treatments a year?  WOW!
From update training over the past 3 years for my training to maintain my pesticide applicator license.  I don’t want to cause a dispute, but pesticide application in most other areas in the ‘art of pest control’ has moved to a only ’treat when needed’ approach.  And routine application was described by the experts teaching the class as wasteful and irresponsible, to treat if there is no effort to assess the need for applying a treatment.  I find it hard to believe that a 4 or 3 treatment per year schedule is reflecting a ‘treat when needed approach‘.   Set schedules, as far as pest control go are always a bad idea and can be dangerous in my opinion.
